If last night's Champions League semi-final is anything to go by we should be in for another thriller tonight at Anfield.
Only an idiot would've tipped a 0-0 Bonkers Bet in game that finished 4-3 (🙋♂️), but this particular idiot will go again tonight. The only way is up right?
And so to Liverpool v Villarreal. The Spaniards came through the group stages in second place behind Manchester United in a pretty uninspiring group which also included Atalanta and Young Boys. But their 3-0 away against Juventus in the last 16 made people sit up and take notice.
It was a game in which they frustrated the Italians before delivering the sucker punches late in the game inspired by the introduction of Gerard Moreno at 0-0 with 15 minutes to go.
Unai Emery's side delivered another masterclass in Munich in the quarter-finals. When Robert Lewandowski drew Bayern level in the tie after 52 minutes the script looked like it was going to follow a familiar plot line but again El Submarino Amarillo kept their opponents at bay before delivering the knock-out blow on the 88th minute.
Tonight they face one of the best attacks in Europe and unlike in previous rounds they don't have a first leg result to cling on to. That could give the Reds the chance to steal a march in the tie and establish a comfortable lead ahead of the second leg next week.
The truth is you'd want to be backing Liverpool tonight, at any price, no matter which team in Europe they were playing. The Reds have been in phenomenal form and are the cusp of greatness if they can tie up the league title, FA Cup and this Champions League in the next month or so.
Villarreal deserve respect but don't lose sight of the fact that they're 7th in La Liga, they've failed to beat any of the top four sides in the Spanish top flight and they lost both matches against Manchester United in the group stages. Sure they've picked off Juve and Bayern but their run can't go on forever can it?
Everton frustrated Liverpool for longer than expected in Saturday but in trying to find some value in this one it could be worth going back in on Liverpool/Liverpool on the half-time/full-time market. It's a bet that's landed in five of their last matches and looks a fair price at 10/11.
Mo Salah to score anytime at 4/5 also catches the eye, while Ibrahima Kounate, who opened the scoring in both matches against Benfica in the previous round is 20/1 to do so again.

Liverpool v Villareal 8pm
I can see Villareal frustrating Liverpool for longer tonight than Real did to City last night.. I’ve no doubt Liverpool win this well, but I think they’ll rack up a fair few corners along the way. Liverpool average 7.88 home corners in the PL and hopefully they hit those sort of numbers tonight.. Villareal concede on average 6.25 away in La Liga (third highest in the league, they like to defend deep) and even if Pool do score early, I think they’ll want to kill the tie tonight so it should still be wave after wave of Liverpool attacks.. I’ll be on these:
1+ mg 4+ FH Pool corners 23/20
1+ mg 5+ FH Pool corners 12/5
1+ mg 7+ Pool corners 10/11
1+ mg 8+ Pool corners 29/20

Villarreal to score (Liverpool no clean sheet) at 5/6 b365
Liverpool win and both teams to score at 21/10 b365
Can’t ignore Villarreal stats for scoring away from home in this competition this season,their best work comes away from home where they have had some good results,they aren’t going to come to Anfield and lie down so i have factored in them scoring in a few bets i think stands a good chance.Liverpool will be hopeful of getting a decent lead so they can rotate in the second leg.
Prediction
3-1
Best of luck

Hope everyone made a few quid on the game last night, the 12/1 for Madrid over 2.5 TG was speculative but still overpriced.
Struggling to see how tonights game will go. Villareal will obviously look to keep it tight. It’ll be interesting to see how adventurous they are to look into scoring themselves. Very defensive away at Bayern as they held an advantage from the first leg. I think they can take heart from Everton’s showing and the aim will be keep it 0-0 at HT and then look to be slightly more adventurous second half.
Klopp will be keen to get on the front foot and I think early corners for Liverpool will be the way to go.
