Liverpool take on the visitors Lille in the round 7 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 21st at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool started their first season without Klopp in the summer — for the first time in a decade. Everyone expected a decline and wondered how much the English would sag without Jurgen. But instead, under Sloth, they managed to lead the Premier League table alone and show themselves well in the cup format. True, in the middle of winter, the Merseysiders lost for the second time under Arne — this time to the crisis Tottenham, in the first semi-final of the League Cup. Salah and especially Alexander-Arnold are also thinking about leaving. Do the English want to give it their all in the Champions League in such conditions, where the task of reaching the playoffs has long been solved? However, they won all 6 matches there, including against Milan and Real — there are, of course, ambitions to maintain this indicator.

Lille have had the longest journey in the tournament. The Dogues, then still under Paulo Fonseca, improved significantly last season. But on the other hand, this experienced and ambitious club lost the race for 3rd place to the upstart Brest. As a result, they had to start the Champions League from the qualification. And this task was already being handled by the successor of the Portuguese, who decided to return to Serie A in Italy so unsuccessfully - Bruno Genesio. He did well, knocking out both Fenerbahce and Prague Slavia. And the French (who, by the way, are not doing well in the domestic arena) showed themselves quite vigorously in the main round of the main European Cup. Yes, they started with a defeat to Sporting in Lisbon, but then only with Juventus was there a draw, 1-1 — against Real Madrid and Atletico, and they also won against Bologna and Sturm, effectively removing the question of whether there would be a continuation in the playoffs.
In March 2010, the clubs played in the Europa League playoffs. And, having lost 0-1 in France, the Merseysiders then crushed their opponents 3-0 at home. The Reds are good and should cope with the French at home, who are not in their best shape. We recommend betting on Salah and company to win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap.
