Not so long ago in the Champions League Liverpool played with Real Madrid, and in the course of the meeting, winning 2:0, they were able to lose to the royal club with a score of 5:2.
Now we need to focus on the domestic championship, and the meeting with Crystal Palace. Bookmakers estimate the chances of the latter to win at 4.55, while the chances of Liverpool to win at 1.74.
Also, analysts say that the match should be productive, and at least 2 goals will be scored in the match. In fact, in this match the line is very variable and you can find almost any bet. But what should be expected from teams?
It should be noted right away that the Merseysiders won 8 times in a row here, and at the same time they scored at least 2 goals in each meeting.
But now Liverpool are not in their best shape and there are problems. A major overhaul is needed. Klopp has only won 10 out of 22 league matches. He also does not take part in the cups, and with a high degree of probability you can forget about the Champions League this year.
Of course, you can find a lot of excuses and talk about problems with players, injuries and so on. But lately things have started to go better, because the infirmary is empty and there is someone to go on the field.
As for the Champions League, then it is not without problems. At home, Liverpool also beat the titled rival 2-0, but ultimately lost 5-2.
After that, Jürgen said that it was a good idea not to have to play with such a strong opponent every three days. And now the coach needs to think through everything and understand how to fix the situation.
If we talk about Crystal Palace, then there are no high-class players, and the last meetings for them were terrible. Devastating defeats from the middle peasants also require changes.
In recent games with teams from the top six, although there were no defeats, there were not many goals either. Fans are dissatisfied with current affairs, and this applies primarily to defensive tactics. Watching this kind of football is very unpleasant. But the composition forces the coach to do just that.
For Klopp, this style is both an advantage and a big problem. It is difficult to play against a team that spends almost all the time in its penalty area. But don’t expect a devastating bill.
And do not forget that the Merseysiders are now in shock from the last game in the Champions League. You need to focus even on playing with a weak opponent.
