Bet: Both Teams To Score: No

On Saturday Liverpool FC nearly managed to get to the top of Premiere League standings but had conceded a goal from West Bromwich Albion although The Reds beat the rival 2-1.

At the same time Tottenham in Premiere League got another frustration by goalless draw at Bournemouth. And it was a third draw in the row counting match in Champions League. Bets say that Spurs have already drowned to the fifth place in standings. Although Mauricio Pochettino's side is the single PL club that wasn’t beaten Tottenham missed the opportunity to clinch top spot. In EFL Cup The Lilywhites destroyed Gillingham 5-0 using not lineup players as betting specialists predicted.

It’s rather complicated question for the betting side whether two managers going to use their lineups. So maybe it is obvious that Klopp and Pochettino will give a few key players a breather after battles in Premiere League because championship is a priority for both of them. But Liverpool will host Spurs on Anfield and this is its advantage. This season at home The Reds won all matches except goalless draw with Man United while Tottenham in away games gained four draws and three victories. However, bets noticed that The Lilywhites could score a single goal in two last away matches.

So bookmakers named home side as a favorite predicting the first defeat to the visitors: Liverpool - 1.61; Draw - 3.75; Tottenham - 4.33. Of course Spurs have huge problems with the defense Toby Alderweireld’s injury and Eric Dier may continue at centre-back if the Belgian is not fit. But Jurgen Klopp probably will use Divock Origi, not Firmino or Coutinho, and the task to become simpler for Tottenham defenders. We don’t expect many goals and the bet “Total Match Goals Under 2.5” (2.15) may go through. Another choice may be “Both Teams To Score: No” (2.10).
