04 Oct 2012 Europa League, Liverpool 2 – 3 Udinese
PREVIEW
It’s been a mixed week for British clubs in Europe with both Chelsea and Manchester City exiting the Champions League at the first hurdle, with the latter missing out on even the consolation of the Europa League.
Celtic made it through but both Manchester United and Arsenal also both lost, although were already through to the next round. That is something that isn’t guaranteed for the English sides in Europa League action tonight. But, while Tottenham should avoid slipping up at home to Panathanaikos, Liverpool face a tricky test at Udinese.
Defeat will see the Reds exit the competition and continue what has been a miserable season so far. Udinese have suffered three successive defeats in Europe and already know they cannot progress, but they ended a run of eight games without a win when they beat Cagliari 4-1 at home on Sunday.
They also beat Liverpool at Anfield and would love to bow out having taken the scalp of such a decorated club in front of their fans. While Brendan Rodgers team can qualify with a draw, that is dependent on Young Boys being held at home to top-of-the-table Anzhi Makhachkala.
In reality then, Liverpool must play for a win and considering how hard they have found that this season – two in their last ten matches – that is not the given that odds of 2.02 on BETDAQ imply.
Match of the Daq is always keen to oppose Liverpool when they are favourites and laying them looks another good bet tonight.
