Liverpool v Napoli
Champions League Group C, Wednsday, December 11. KO 8pm. Live on BT Sport
LIVERPOOL dazzled on their way to the Champions League Final but face a fight to make the knockout stages this season.
There could be incredible drama in Group C with three sides still looking to qualify.
Jurgen Klopp's men must beat Napoli at Anfield with a 1-0 win or a two-goal victory seeing them through.
The Italians need a point or for PSG to lose at Red Star Belgrade. Assuming PSG book their last-16 place with a win the Liverpool v Napoli tie should be a thrilling shoot-out.
A year ago you'd have backed the Reds to create a special European night at Anfield but they haven't been firing on all cylinders although defensively they've been so solid.
Good news is Mo Salah looks back to his best after a superb hat-trick at Bournemouth and while they've lost all three away games Liverpool are unbeaten in 18 in Europe at Anfield.
Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli are unbeaten in eight in Serie A and are studded with the likes of Marek Hamsik, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne in their ranks.
Liverpool beat PSG 3-2 at Anfield and while they are extremely short at 8-13 with 888sport (13-20 McBookie) I can understand why.
Napoli are Serie A top scorers and will feel they need to score and there should be goals with Liverpool and btts paying 15-8 at 888sport.
The Italians drew 2-2 at PSG and over 2.5 match goals pays 13-25 at 888sport. Even over 3.5 goals has a chance at 27-20 long as we get one early.
Salah was always going to stuggle to follow last season's 41-goal heroics but the former Roma man is giving it a good go.
He was scintillating at Bournemouth and is 3-1 at 888sport to score first and 10-13 to net at anytime.
Recommended Bets
- Salah to score first (3-1, 888sport)
- Liverpool & btts (15-8, 888sport)
- Over 3.5 match goals (27-20, 888sport)
well done
