Liverpool visited the Besiktas stadium "Kemal Ataturk", where ten years ago won the trophy in the Champions League. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 3.00 for a home win, with a draw at 3.40 and 2.50 for the victory of the guests.
Even though reached success thanks to the scandalous penalty kick by Mario Balotelli, Liverpool played very well against Besiktas in the first game and has a goal advance before the clash in Istanbul. The Turkish team pressed successfully stalking for moments of counterattack, but now will certainly need to look more boldly to attack if wants to continue to the next phase.
Slaven Bilic`s boys conceded a shocking loss of Eskisehirspor and allowed Galatasaray to go on the top of the Turkish Super League. The other bad news is that the Croatian specialist has serious problems to handle. The star in attack Demba Ba suffers from calf injury and had not take part in the defeat on Saturday. Also the defenders Ramon Motta and Ersan Gulum are punished.
While Besiktas has problems of scoring goals (has not scored in four of their last six games), Liverpool is in brilliant shape. They won six of their last seven games in all competitions and remains without defeat in regular time since mid-December.
Daniel Sturridge and the left back Alberto Moreno can return among the holders, having remained on the bench in the win over Southampton at the weekend. Lazar Markovic is punished and Mamadou Sakho is suspended. The emblem of the club Steven Gerrard is not ready and Brendan Rogers will not risk with his inclusion.
Turkey is generally difficult destination to visit, but in the stadium "Kemal Ataturk" Liverpool enjoyed one of the most stellar moments - winning the Champions League in 2005.
Liverpool has eight wins in the last ten away matches and is favorite in the match with a factor of 2.50. If the team fails to score first will largely decide things not in their favour, because the confidence of the household will be broken. With all the problems of Besiktas in attacking plan and the excellent performance of Liverpool in defence, the other leading option for this match is Under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.82.
Recommended bets:
For Liverpool @ 2.50
Under 2.5 goals @ 1.82
