2024-02-28 20:00:01
FA Cup
Between Liverpool and Southampton, 36 games have been played, with Liverpool winning 20 and Southampton securing 10 victories. There have also been 6 draws.
Liverpool
Liverpool still has a chance to collect trophies in all competitions they participate in. The first of these, the Reds, won last weekend when, despite significant squad problems, they defeated “Chelsea” in extra time of the English League Cup final – 1:0, with Virgil Van Dijk becoming the hero of the match by scoring in the 118th minute. Liverpool is leading in the Premier League, although only one point behind “Manchester City.” Jurgen Klopp’s team will soon resume their campaign in the Europa League, where they will face Prague’s “Sparta” in the round of 16. Additionally, in the FA Cup, they have already eliminated “Arsenal” and “Norwich” – 2:0 and 5:2, respectively.
Southampton
Southampton played in the Premier League last season but had an unsuccessful campaign, leading them to compete in the Championship. Along with them, Leeds and Leicester also faced relegation but currently occupy the top two positions in the second-tier league in England. However, Southampton is struggling a bit more and currently holds the fourth position. Direct promotion to the Premier League will be challenging, but reaching it through the playoffs is a feasible task. In the last four matches, they suffered three defeats, only defeating “West Bromwich” – 2:0. In the FA Cup, the red and whites first defeated “Walsall” – 4:0 and then overcame “Watford” – 1:1 and 3:0 in two games.
Prediction
Liverpool has recently faced significant squad issues but is determined to compete on multiple fronts. Jurgen Klopp's desire to win maximum trophies in his final year with the Merseyside team surpasses all difficulties. For instance, last weekend, the Reds won the English League Cup, playing without several key players. Now they are the favorites, and Southampton is currently more focused on securing promotion rather than cup battles, as they aim to avoid a prolonged stay in the Championship. As a result, a bet on Liverpool's victory with a total of over 1.5 goals at a coefficient of around 1.70 seems appropriate. Liverpool is a team that always strives to play open, entertaining, and high-scoring football. Even in the English League Cup final, where the only goal came in the 118th minute, there were many scoring opportunities. In the previous six matches involving Liverpool, there were 30 shots on goal (5.00 on average per game) a very high indicator. The Merseyside team scored 21 goals (3.50 on average per game) an impressive statistic. Based on this, the optimal prediction appears to be a total of over 3.5 goals with a coefficient close to 2.20. Additionally, it is worth considering a separate bet on Liverpool's individual total of over 2.5 goals with an index of 2.35. Our prediction: Liverpool to win with a total of over 1.5 goals at a coefficient of around 1.70. Place a bet with
