On Wednesday, at 20:15, Liverpool goes to AmEx Stadium for a trip to Brighton, in the 34th round of the Premier League. The hosts cannot count on Izquierdo and Alzate Colombians, while Jurgen Klopp will use more reserves and will not have Matip, Lovren and Milner. Given that Liverpool is already the champion, we can not rule out the surprise here.
Liverpool is the undisputed leader in England, with 89 points and a goal difference of 72-25. With a 100% percentage on their own field, the “cormorants” paraded all season, but the problem of motivation could affect the bets on the guests. Brighton is a skilled team on its own field, which has no complexes in front of the giants: it is on the 15th place (goal average 35-44), without emotions with relegation.
With only one failure in the last 5 stages, Brighton is quite calm and comes after a precious 1-0 at Norwich, after the failure with Manchester United (0-3). Instead, Liverpool got a “service” victory with Aston Villa (2-0), which quickly forgot the failure of the derby with Manchester City (0-4). Obviously, Liverpool’s passing game should keep the danger away from its own goal, as Manchester United did a week ago.
Brighton is a team with modest offensive figures, which failed to score in a third of the games of the season. Defensive will again be the key point in Graham Potter’s game, but the second half could be a bit more lively on Wednesday. It is worth trying an X bet at the break, because the draw would be precious for the white-reds, and the “cormorants” will not force too much in the first half. The odds for a game with few goals are very good.
