LIVERPOOL'S season is threatening to unravel but if they can pull off another epic European comeback tonight it will given them a timely shot of adrenalin heading down the home straight.
Hopes of winning the Premier League in Jurgen Klopp's final season have suffered a massive blow in the last couple of weeks, with five points dropped in games with Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
And their chances of lifting the Europa League trophy, the only major of piece of silverware missing from Klopp's Anfield CV, are now slim after a disastrous 3-0 loss to Atalanta at Anfield last Thursday.
It would be foolish to write Liverpool off given they recovered from 3-0 down at half-time in the 2005 Champions League Final then overturned the same deficit in the semi-final against Barcelona 14 years later.
But the bookies still make Atalanta heavy favourites to go through at 1/6 (VBet) while the Anfield giants are 9/2 with most firms to turn it around.
The Reds need to go for it and their opponents are a threat on the break so it bodes well for goals at both ends. Over 1.5 first-half strikes looks good at 11/10 with McBookie while over 3.5 match goals is the same price at Paddy Power.
Xabi Alonso was touted as Klopp's successor but is staying at Bayer Leverkusen and his incredible side are still on track for an invincible season.
Leverkusen wrapped up the Bundesliga title by battering Werder Bremen 5-0 at the weekend and are in command of their Europa League quarter-final after beating West Ham United 2-0 in Germany.
Alonso's men are now just 1/16 to reach the semis (888Sport) with the Hammers 11/1 outsiders but David Moyes will be hoping the Bayer boys need an aspirin after their weekend title party.
West Ham have been strong at home in Europe so it might be worth backing them for a win on the night at 14/5 (BetMGM) even though it might not be by the margin necessary to take them through.
With Lucas Paqueta suspended, the Hammers will rely on Mohamed Kudus for inspiration and he's 9/4 at Paddy Power to either score or assist.
Roma are in command of their all-Italian tie with AC Milan after winning 1-0 at the San Siro last week. The first leg had 12 corners so I like the 11/10 on offer at Bet365 for over nine flag kicks in the return.
In the Europa Conference League, tournament favourites Aston Villa defend a 2-1 lead in France against Lille. Rudi Garcia's men are in decent form and had the weekend off so look a little overpriced at 29/20 (Paddy Power) for a win on the night.
We usually see goals at both ends with Aston Villa and combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays a best 21/20 with Coral tonight.
The first leg of Fenerbahce‘s clash with Olympiacos was a thriller as the Greeks won 3-2 on home soil. I thought the ref would have a busy night in that game but he ended up flashing just four yellows.
Things could explode back in Turkey as the tie reaches its conclusion though so I'm going for the card markets again. Over 5.5 cards pays 5/4 at Unibet while the same firm offer 49/20 on a sending-off. A penalty being awarded also appeals at 8/5 with BetMGM.

Women Commebal under 20 championship
Uruguay v Peru
Ko 10pm.
BTTS 5-6 NAP ⚽ HILLS.
(only firm I see with a market on this game)
These played 2 days ago both losing.
Uruguay should be better and win but they aren’t world beaters.
They have conceded in 12/13 games going back 2 years and rarely win.
Peru have been diabolical in recent years but this year’s team are at least are scoring (all 3 games so far in the comp)

Millonairios v Junior

Colombian Categoria Primera A.
BTTS 11-10 bet365
No BTTS in the last 10 head to head suggest another one Is impending especially as junior are shite away from home.
It’s millionaires recent form that gives this a chance.
BTTS in their last 9 games and they have conceded in their last 12 games.
Junior have managed BTTS in their last 4 matches which is rare for them.
Prediction 2-1
Finished 3-2 ?? ⚽

Liverpool to Qualify at 9/2 skybet
Best of luck
There only 9/2 to go through? Aren’t they 3 down and travelling to Italy.
They are 3 down and travelling to Italy but Liverpool are Liverpool pal, they all said we were out the Champions league when we lost to Barcelona away, they all said we had lost the Champions league final when we were 3 down at half time. The come back kings. Not saying it will win but worth a shout.
Yeh I get that, you in Europe are always capable more than any (Usually the Anfield effect) but I think the 9/2 the bookies are offering there is really skinny. Good luck anyway I’ll be cheering them on regardless hopefully all the English clubs can give it a good go tonight after yesterday’s abysmal performances.

Another winner on SA last night at 5/1+, Roma Milan should be a good game for BB’s. Hopefully Tomori is back for Milan, Parades Bove Mancini look best bets for Roma but will wait for team news
Also, the return of Serie B in Brazil this wknd
Good one with SA – I was on it.
Man City to win the EPL at 2/5
Man City to win the F.A Cup at 8/13
Coming to the end of campaigns now and a double where it’s basically buying money. Arsenal have tricky games as do Liverpool and I just can’t see where City drop points, Spurs is probably their toughest assignment away but they should win every game. The F.A Cup speaks for itself, City by far the strongest team in it and I can’t see any team left in it troubling City.
I reckon Coventry could beat them in the final ?
Coventry should get to the final but City should have to much for them, then again we said that about Wigan all them years ago.

I like it Cocker, I’m also adding Reds in the Roma and Marseille games into mine for a fun bet where I can retire if it lands :)
Good luck JG I will be happy with a double ?
Just a single for me this evening. Lille have been performing well this season and did ok to come away just 2-1 down in the first leg. I think this evening at home they have more than enough to beat Villa but will be going slightly safer.
Lille draw no bet@4/5
Was also tempted to add btts in the Roma-Milan game. This comes in very regularly in this fixture. And I may add it to an Acca
Thought it was a no bet day today noob ?.
The gambling drug strikes again .
I’ve been an addict for years myself ?
Yeah couldn’t resist.
Sucks being an addict. I had to block my phone because of it as I was so bad with in plays. Now I try to limit myself to singles mainly just one a day maximum. Will go back to that from now on I think before things get out of hand
A wise move bud ?
Definitely. Would be down loads if I could gamble on my phone. Now I just go to the bookies when I can and place my daily bet. So far it’s working for me as I’m up a bit. Is so much easier to control that way. Limit my weekly spend too which I find helps
Plus I do a lot more research and try to be extra careful with my picks now. Sometimes sit at my phone for ages going through every fixture thoroughly. Just because I’m worried about losing. Another reason for only doing singles mainly. Still easy to lose but much less likely on betting on a match because you think that’s what will happen.
Anyway I’m off to the bookies to place a ten fold Acca and do some inplay betting ???
Binfield
Btts , binfield win 11/4
