Liverpool vs Everton Prediction & Betting tips
When Liverpool and Everton clash in the Merseyside Derby, one of the most unusual derbies in Europe is on the program. The Reds have 19 national championship titles, while the Blues have already won the English championship nine times. The curious thing about it: It is not uncommon for supporters of both camps to celebrate the championships together. Because of this, there can be no talk of friendship. But certainly not of bitter rivalry either.
It can be stated, however, that the Reds are currently coming out of a weak phase. LFC won the Champions League 2-0 against RB Leipzig during the week. In the league, however, there are currently three defeats in a row with 2: 8 goals on record. Accordingly, the blues will try everything to be able to get a three-point against their city rivals for the first time after 23 winless Merseyside derbies.
Liverpool :
At the national level, the 2020/21 season was not very positive for Liverpool FC. As defending champions, the Reds naturally wanted to defend their first English championship in 30 years in the new season.
After playing 24 games, however, they are 16 points behind leaders Manchester City. In addition, the Scousers have already been eliminated from both cup competitions.
With a 2-0 win in the first leg against RB Leipzig, they pushed the gate to the quarter-finals wide open and were able to remove some of the pent-up frustration.
The last few weeks, which were negatively affected by the many injured players on the defensive, ultimately turned out to be anything but smooth. The Reds were only able to win three of the last twelve competitive games in the national competitions, which means they are missing between two points on a Champions League starting place.
In particular, the home strength of the Scousers was also permanently affected. LFC remained unbeaten in league operations at Anfield Road 68 times in a row. Then, however, the series ended on January 21, 2021 with a 0-1 defeat by Burnley, which was followed by two more defeats against Brighton (0-1) and Manchester City (1: 4).
The Reds lost four home games in the league for the last time almost 98 years ago, when this negative series was ended with a home win on Christmas Eve 1923. It is all the more surprising how favored the Klopp-Elf go into the Merseyside derby despite this dry spell.
Everton :
Everton FC started the new season with an improved squad under Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffees even led the table for three game days when all the top clubs failed for the first time at the start of the season.
Then, however, the blues gradually got astray. In view of the current highs of Manchester City, nobody has been talking about the first championship title in 34 years in the camp of the current table seventh.
At least the qualification for the UEFA Champions League is far from off the table. The Toffees are actually only three points behind city rivals Liverpool and still have a catch-up game up their sleeves, in which they are favored against Aston Villa.
However, after only one of nine possible points jumped out of the last three league games, the Blues no longer have too much time to stay within sight of the international starting positions. A defeat in the Merseyside Derby would be a serious setback in a regular six-point game.
There is much to be said for Liverpool against Everton for a tip against the Toffees, who have not won a single one of the last 23 Merseyside derbies against their city rivals. It is the longest losing streak they have ever experienced in their history in this pairing.
In addition, if there is only one win from the last six league games, there is not much momentum. However, it can also be stated that Carlo Ancelotti’s selection is strong away from home. Most recently, Everton scored 17 out of a possible 21 points from the last seven away games in the Premier League. This also shows that something could finally be found on Anfield Road.
