[Match Analysis]
Liverpool (Home) and Everton (Away) will be playing at Anfield, Liverpool.
One of the longest-established derby in world, Merseyside derby is up tonight.
Liverpool is having a bitter winter. Liverpool just lost 0-3 to Wolves in the 22nd round. Due to recent sluggish performance, there’s a rumor that they look to replace Klopp. Now they’re placed in the 10th (8W 5D 7L), which is never a spot they’d be happy for.
Their current situation looks quite messy. Their offense is often too simple, and their midfield have hard time distributing the ball forward or overcome opponent pressure. For defense, CBs bear too much space to defend as full-backs are often involved in the attack, yet the main CB duo are missing due to injuries. Can Klopp overcome this dilemma? We’ll see if he can find a breakthrough at this match. Diaz, Arthur, Konate are injured and can’t play this match. Whether Firmino, Van Dijk, Thiago, Jota can play is a 50-50 coin toss.
Everton is ranked in the 18th (4W 6D 11L). After onboarding the new manager, Sean Dyche, the miracle has happened; Everton finally got a precious win in last week. Even more impressing is that the opponent was Arsenal. How could Dyche sink the ship named Arsenal? Dyche effectively blocked the rear space where Arsenal's wingers could penetrate into, forcing Arsenal to only play around Bukayo Saka, and leaving only option, Saka’s isolation plays. We’ll see if Dyche could continue showing off his tactical prowess and capture a win against Klopp’s Liverpool. Townsend, Patterson won’t be available for this match. Keane, Calvert-Lewin, Garner also won’t be available, but might be able to play this match.
During the last 5 Merseyside derby matches, Liverpool led the record with 2W, 2D, 1L. The most recent match, played in Goodison Park, ended in boring draw (0-0). Even though Liverpool is in peril, AI predicts more than 50% chance of them winning. (AI prediction: Liverpool 58% vs Everton 20%).
For BetBuilder picks, first I’d go with Under 2.5 total goals (2.0), due to both team’s somewhat awkward attack. Also, I expect Mohamed Salah to score(2.3). Even though his recent performance isn’t so good enough, but Liverpool’s victory requires himself to score. Darwin Nunez is absolutely a ‘Mr. Big chance miss’, but he can make 1or more SOT(1.17).
AI verdict: Bet 67$ (or 6.7% of bankroll) on Liverpool win for 1.76 odds (??- Moderately recommended)
