Liverpool face Notts Forest at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. The Reds are enjoying a fine start to the season and sit just three points off leaders Spurs. Meanwhile, Forest are down in 15th place, but have a seven point cushion over the teams in the relegation zone.
So will the game result in an easy home win for the Reds or a big upset for Forest? To help you make the most out of the latest sports betting odds on the game, our experts have put together an exclusive tip for the contest.
Without being at the top of their game, Liverpool have quietly had an excellent start to the season. They have eked out a series of wins over teams in the bottom half of the table, and their only defeat was the contentious loss at Tottenham.
The good news for Jurgen Klopp is that whilst there is clearly room for improvement, his team have a solid foundation to attack the rest of the campaign. If Klopp can get the best out of his plethora of new signings and keep his squad relatively injury free, the Reds could mount a serious title challenge.
It’s been a case of missed opportunities for Forest in recent games, They squandered a two goal lead at home to Luton last week, whilst manager Steve Cooper will have been disappointed not to have beaten the likes of Burnley and Brentford at the City Ground. That being said, Forest are still six points above the relegation zone, a situation most fans will be happy with at the end of the season.
A Mo Salah winner gave Liverpool a 3-2 victory in this game last season, however Forest did defeat the Reds 1-0 in the reverse fixture. That game represents Forest’s only victory over Liverpool since 1996 and overall they trail the head-to-head by 58 to 31.
As you would expect, Liverpool are huge favourites for the game. They are currently available at just 3/10 to claim all three points. Forest can be backed at 10/1 to sprint a big surprise, whilst the draw is priced at 11/2.
On paper, this looks like a comfortable home win, but our betting bonus tip for the game is for a draw. Liverpool’s busy fixture schedule is going to catch up with them at some point, and we think Forest could be the team to take advantage.
Forest look like a stronger team than the one that battled relegation last season. This improvement was highlighted by the recent win at Chelsea, and if they can produce a similar performance here, the odds of 11/2 on a draw seem excellent value.
