      Liverpool vs Red Bull Salzburg Predictions

      Liverpool’s defence of the Champions League trophy got off to a rocky start when they paid a visit to Naples last month. Jurgen Klopp’s men suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat at the hands of Napoli, but they will be confident of returning to winning ways on Wednesday.

      That loss is Liverpool’s only defeat of the season so far, with 8 of their 10 competitive games ending in victory. This emphatic start has returned the UEFA Super Cup in their trophy cabinet, as well as putting them top of the Premier League table.

      One thing that has been a bit lacking from Liverpool’s standpoint is the defensive rigidity that served them so well last season. They have conceded in 7 of their 10 games this season, and they’re facing a visiting side with an eye for goal on Wednesday.

      The Austrian side have scored a ridiculous 55 goals in their 12 competitive games this season and thrashed Genk 6-2 in their Champions League opener a few weeks back. Admittedly, all of these goals came against inferior opposition to Liverpool, but it’s clear they carry significant attacking threat.

      RB Salzburg haven’t failed to score in any competitive fixture since March and have found the net in 13 of their last 15 Champions League matches. Considering Liverpool’s recent defensive record, they will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet here.

      However, the Champions League holders haven’t lost a Champions League match at Anfield since 2014, winning 10 of their 14 matches since. We’re expecting Liverpool to return to winning ways on Wednesday, but with RB Salzburg carrying such threat up front we think a Liverpool Win and Both Teams to Score bet is the way to go.

      The hosts have scored exactly 3 goals in 2 of their 3 home matches this season too, winning 3-1 on both occasions. All things considered, we think a 3-1 correct score prediction offers the best value for money.
