Liverpool travel to Germany to take on Eintracht Frankfurt amidst an extremely poor run of form, having lost their last four in all competitions.
The Reds have been on the receiving end of three 2-1 defeats in a row in the league, and they were also defeated 1-0 away to Galatasaray in their last Champions League fixture.
Frankfurt haven’t won in their last three, and were hammered 5-1 away to Atletico Madrid in their last Champions League fixture.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tip
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool Predictions
Liverpool have been in an appalling run of form, with four defeats on the bounce. That said, I think they’ll turn it around here as they face Eintracht Frankfurt on the road. Frankfurt were battered by Atletico in their last Champions League match, and I think Liverpool will have too much quality for them on Wednesday. Frankfurt have lost heir last two home matches, and I think this game will make it three.
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 1/1
This selection is based largely on the number of goals scored in Frankfurt games alone. In their 10 competitive matches this season, there have been a massive 54 goals scored. They have scored 31 and conceded 23 goals this season, conceding six and scoring six in their two Champions League outings. They are the second-highest scorers in the Bundesliga despite being in seventh place, with 19 goals for. They have also conceded the most in the league with 18. There have been three or more goals in seven of the last 10 Liverpool matches, so I think over 3.5 goals is a solid bet here in Frankfurt.
Jonathan Burkardt over 0.5 shots on target (8/13)
Frankfurt striker Jonathan Burkardt has had a fantastic start to the season, He has bagged four goals in six Bundesliga Matches so far this season, with three in his two Champions League outings – two against Galatasaray and one in that 5-1 loss to Atletico. He has had five shots on target in the league and three in the Champions League. I think he’s good odds to have at least one here.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool Cards Tip – Arthur Theate to be carded (9/2)
Frankfurt left-back Arthur Theate will be in for a difficult 90 minutes. Mo Salah hasn’t been in the best of form this season, but he’s still a formidable opponent who still has plenty of pace aged 33. In Salah’s eight Premier League outings this season, he has drawn seven fouls, winning a further two in two in the Champions League. In seven Bundesliga outings, Theate has made five fouls, with one in two in the Champions League. I think there’s a good chance of him being carded for a third time this season against Liverpool.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Arthur Theate over 1.5 fouls @ 9/2
A little extra research will show that you can back Theate to have more than 1.5 fouls in the match at the same odds as a booking. That said, there’s a risk he makes one bad foul and is carded, and therefore makes less than 1.5. However, the ref could be lenient, and he might well make over 1.5 fouls and get away without a booking.
