Liverpool - Burnley betting tips and odds

Liverpool are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.20, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Burnley are given 17.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Last round saw The Reds take an early lead against Norwich City and maintain the momentum up until that last whistle. The match-up was highly favourable, of course, but the squad might be able to keep that same momentum going against The Clarets.

Burnley didn’t stand much of a chance in their previous Premier League bout against Brighton & Hove Albion, despite the home-field advantage. They somehow took the lead, but the hard favourites won out in the end, securing a narrow 1:2 victory.

The Reds have a relatively recent victory on record against Burnley. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Joël Matip, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Divock Origi will have to sit this one out, while The Clarets will have to make do without Kevin Long, Dale Stephens, Ashley Barnes.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.61, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
