Liverpool v Lille Odds For First Leg Europa League Has Reds Favourites

Having had their hopes for a Premier League top 4 place seriously damaged this week, by losing away at Wigan Athletic, Liverpool must now travel to France and take on Lille in what looks to be a very tough game in this Europa League, Round of 16 first leg tie.

Notwithstanding paddy power Bookmakers, make the ‘Reds’ favourites to win the tie with odds of 13/10, with the same Bookmakers offering 2/1 about the French team and 11/5 the draw. They also make Liverpool 1/3 odds on favourites to qualify from the two leg tie.

The defeat at Wigan will have come as somewhat as a ‘hammer blow’ for Rafa Benitez and his men, who now look must look to the Europa Cup as their one chance of some success in an otherwise dismal season.

Latest Europa League News and Odds

The two sides have never met in European football before, but Liverpool should take heart in the fact that they are unbeaten in their last five competitive matches in France, winning four and drawing just one. They should also take heart that they will have both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres available for the game. Torres, as one would expect has been made favourite to be on the scoresheet on the night and is also favourite to score the first goal with odds of 4/1 also from Paddy Power. Gerrard who has a habit of scoring against French sides is quoted with odds of 21/10 to score during the match and 6/1 to open the scoring.

To win this match however, Liverpool must overcome a Lille side who have only lost once in their last 16 European home fixtures and that was to Manchester United in the Champions League back in 2006/7. It is why we think that Lille could win or at the very least draw this first leg. A sensible bet we think therefore would be to back Lille to win by 1-0 and cover that bet with another backing a 1-1 draw. A 1-0 Lille win carries odds of 15/2 and the 1-1 draw has odds of 5/1. Overall however we take Liverpool to qualify from the two legs, believing that the 11/2 odds about them winning the Europa League outright are worth very much worthy of consideration.
