Liverpool v Trabzonspor Odds: Europa League Betting Preview

See Our Second Leg Article for match on 26 Aug

After disposing of Rabotnicki in the first round, Liverpool will be looking to get off to a good start in this 1st leg, second round, Europa League match against Turkish side, Trabzonspor at Anfield on Thursday. The ‘Reds’ have been made huge favourites to win this first leg, with Boylesports offering the best price of 2/7 odds on, with the visitors no better than a 9/1 chance and the draw at 15/4.

Liverpool began their Premier League campaign last weekend against Arsenal and did more than enough to win that game but had to be content with a 1-1 draw after ‘keeper’ Pepe Reina made an uncustomary mistake in the last minute, to let Arsenal back into the match. Liverpool of course had to play the 2nd half of that match without the services of new signing, Joe Cole who was sent off just before the break, but even with ten men they managed to carve out the lead early in the 2nd half with a great goal scored by David Ngog.

Back Liverpool to WIN the Europa League

Ngog is likely to start this match too and looks a reasonable bet at 9/4 to score the opening goal, but Liverpool have several players who could beat him to it, the following betting options are therefore made:

FIRST GOALSCORER ODDS

9/4 David Ngog
10/3 Fernando Torres
4/1 Steven Gerrard
5/1 Joe Cole
5/1 Dirk Kuyt
5/1 Milan Jovanovic
11/2 Daniel Pacheco
7/1 Nathan Ecclestone

Senol Gunes, the Trabzanspor coach has high hopes of his side this season, after winning the Turkish Cup and Turkish Super Cup earlier this month. His coaching skills are internationally renowned and certainly the Turkish media believe he has the right side with the right attitude to go a long way in this competition. If this is the case then Liverpool had better be at their best, not just in this leg, but also when they travel to Turkey next week.

Match Prediction

We think Liverpool are the team to back to win this game, but we would advise some caution here as Trabzonspor are clearly a good side. We think Liverpool boss, Roy Hodgson would be happy to take a two goal lead to Turkey, but will know anything less will put them under pressure. He will also know that an away goal could prove fatal, which is why we believe that a 2-0 Liverpool win is the score to be on. This scoreline can be backed with boylesports with odds of 9/2.

2/7 Liverpool
