Liverpool hosts Red Bull Salzburg in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 2nd at Anfield (Liverpool)
Yes, Klopp probably didn’t expect his team to start this season with a 0-2 defeat. The opponent in the person of Napoli is very difficult. After all, the Reds are the reigning champions of the tournament. Of course, Liverpool will be on the rampage in the upcoming match! And it will try to throw a pack of goals to the visitors as soon as possible. But I would like to focus on the defense of the English team. Having played TEN matches in various tournaments, Liverpool has only two matches with a clean sheet. The team didn’t concede from Burnley in the national championship (3-0) and from the team from the bottom of English football, Milton, in the League Cup (2-0). And that’s all... And Van Dijk, the best defender of the world, somehow doesn’t help much. Perhaps everything will Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson will return on the pitch - he has been injured from the first round of the Premier League. But for now, the defense of the Reds acts unconvincingly. And I don’t believe that Liverpool will manage to keep a clean sheet in the upcoming match, given crazy attacking game the Austrian team shows!

Salzburg has become the most scoring team of the first round. The Austrians pounded SIX goals into the net of Belgian Genk. Norwegian Haland, who made a hat trick, was the most noticeable player on the pitch. Well, the final score of that match was 6-2. And we can’t say that six goals scored by the Bulls are something sensational. In the local championship, the team is doing just some kind of madness! 5-0, 5-1, 7-2 – such scored were recorded in several previous championship matches of Salzburg. In total, Jesse Marsch’s team hammered 38 goals in eight rounds of the local championship, which is almost FIVE goals per match on average. Any hockey team has a rest, compared to the average performance of Austrian bulls. Of course, Liverpool has entirely another level. But if the team got used to playing such football, they will score the English either. The Austrians may fail in defense to the fullest, but they are likely to score at least a goal, even despite the formidable name of the opponent.
The bet on this match suggests itself! The bookmakers doubt that a powerful attack of Salzburg will be able to score a goal against Liverpool, which shows a rather unconfident game in defense. And the coefficient on the goal of Salzburg in this match is rather high. I think it is just a gift since the goal of the visitors will happen with a probability of 99.9%!
Prediction for the match: Salzburg to score over 0.5 goals
