Liverpool vs Everton Prediction & Betting tips
This weekend in England, the third round of the FA Cup, the oldest and most famous national cup competition in the world. The title contenders certainly include Liverpool FC, who drew the hardest of all favorites with Everton FC, who are also based in Liverpool. While the Reds have remained undefeated for sixteen games, the Toffees suffered two major setbacks following a stable phase around the turn of the year. Accordingly, the team of coach Jürgen Klopp is also clearly favored by the bookmakers. However, since cup competitions have their own laws and Everton left just one point from the last Merseyside derby less than four weeks ago, we believe that this is possible again. In terms of the Reds’ form curve, it is certainly a riskier bet, but we still recommend a hint for another draw. The odds are up to 4.80 and are extremely lucrative even at low stakes.
Liverpool :
Liverpool FC won the FA Cup seven times, most recently in 2006. In the last season, however, Jürgen Klopp’s squad had an extremely difficult time in the FA Cup. Already at the start of the third main round of the Reds had unexpected problems and had to goalless draw against the third division Plymouth Argyle Football Club in the replay. There, too, Liverpool could hardly retrieve the existing performance potential and again scarcely missed a disgrace. Ultimately, the Reds won the replay but somewhat happy with 1-0. But in the fourth main round it was already over. Against the Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, the Klopp team did not get beyond a 1: 2 and eventually retired deserved.
In the current season lost Liverpool ever only three competitive games, most recently in October against the Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, the team of Jürgen Klopp has been unbeaten and has won eleven out of sixteen games; the last three even in series. The strength of the Reds, in particular, the offensive that caused already in the Premier League for fifty goals. Liverpool had problems at all, if at all, on the defensive, which has so far allowed 25 outings (most of the top 5 teams). However, it is questionable whether Coutinho (a total of 12 goals) again, because he is once again traded at FC Barcelona. Added to this is the injury-related loss of Mohamed Salah, who is the top scorer of the Reds with over 25 matches.
Everton :
Everton FC have won the FC Cup only five times, most recently twenty-three years ago. In the last season, the Toffees came in contrast to the upcoming opponents not even beyond the third main round out. However, Everton had at least one opponent from the highest English league with Leicester. The 2-1 loss to Leicester City FC was not quite as embarrassing as that of Liverpool in the fourth major round against Wolverhampton.
Everton fell after a decent start to the season initially in a deep crisis, which drew a place in the table cellar and only with the change of coach at the end of November could be stopped again. In particular, the defensive was under head coach Sam Allardyce back to its old strength, so that the Toffees first unbeaten eight games in a row and could even celebrate five victories. Even Liverpool and Chelsea withstood Everton for a draw. Only around the turn of the year, the Allardyce team had problems again and lost in a row against Bournemouth and at home against Manchester United. This latest setback was certainly not due to staffing problems, because apart from Baines, who are injured due to injury, Allardyce currently has the whole team at his disposal.
