Liverpool, who are hot 6/5 favourites to win, travel to Turkey this week for a very tough looking Europa League Play-off match with Trabzonspor, clinging on to a 1-0 lead, they achieved at Anfield last week via a Ryan Babel goal. They travel without the star duo of captain, Steven Gerrard (back injury) and striker, Fernando Torres (rested) ; they will also be without Javier Mascherano, Daniel Agger and Maxi Rodriguez, which will of course seriously weaken the chances of the Premier League side.
In light of these key absences we think the Bookmakers are worth taking on in this match and would suggest that Trabzonspor are excellent value at 5/2 with Betfred to win this match and that they should also be taken up on the 9/2 available from the same Bookmakers to qualify for the next stage of the competition. Liverpool are in fact 11/10 to win the match themselves with the draw being a 12/5 option.

The ‘Reds’ of course come into the match on the back of a 0-3 hiding by Manchester City on Monday night, where they looked second best in virtually every department. Confidence appears to be very low and their spirits are not being helped by the constant negative reporting concerning the Mascherano affair and whether or not the club is to be taken over. Manager, Roy Hodgson, probably could not have arrived at Anfield at a worse time and he knows that defeat at this stage of the Europa League would be a complete disaster.

The one plus factor is that they will have Joe Cole back in the side, although it has to be said that his contribution to his new club so far has been nothing short of woeful, with a sending off and a missed penalty. Cole however has an opportunity in this match to really shine and if he can rise to the occasion then Liverpool are in with a chance. After all an away goal would be priceless in this match and Cole has the cutting edge to provide the chances to grab one.

the Turkish side should be in confident mood after a superb 3-2 win on Monday night against top Turkish side Fenerbahce. The win which put them on top of the Turkish League, proved that they are a really strong side, who can score goals, but it also showed up a few defensive frailties which Liverpool will need to exploit.
They will have inspirational captain Ibrahima Yattara in the starting line up, he scored a terrific goal in the win over Fenerbahce the other night and is one to consider to score the opening goal in this match, for which has odds to do of 12/1 with Betfred. Trabzonspor will have all the elements on their side which includes a very vociferous crowd behind them and a pitch that often proves tricky for visiting sides and we think that they may prove too much of a burden for a struggling Liverpool.
