Manchester United and Liverpool are part of the International Champions Cup, where the best teams in the world meet in the summer. The match between the two takes place on July 28, at 22:00.
Liverpool starts up as a favorite because of the exceptional season he had in 2018, when Mo Salah guided the “cormorants” to the UEFA Champions League final. Liverpool did not lose important players this summer, and more, he brought goalkeeper Alisson Becker. It should bring more security to the defensive in front of him and Klopp hopes the white-red defense will be more efficient in the new season. So far, Liverpool has received a goal in all the friendly matches …
Both coaches will perform experiments after the break.
The feeling is that Liverpool can be defended and can play organized, but only as long as the field owners are. When reserves such as Klavan or Alberto Moreno enter the defensive, big problems start, and a band like Manchester United can take advantage. Jose Mourinho imposed a pragmatic style at United, and this friendly could bring a tug of play in the first 45 minutes. Probable teams still remain a mystery.
We note that the last direct duel ended 2-1 for Manchester United in the championship, when the “cormorants” have evolved modestly. Before this recent game, there were 4 consecutive draws between the two big rivals: twice 0-0 and twice 1-1. The parties have been more tactile and none of them want to lose in this duel of pride. That’s exactly why we were expecting a cautious game in the first 45 minutes. United comes after a success with AC Milan, 2-1, and Liverpool lost to Dortmund (1-3) and defeated Manchester City 2-1. Salah and Mane scored the “cormorants” on Wednesday night, the decisive success coming in overtime.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.50
