author: Betin submitted: 08 April 2014

This Sunday we will see a show at Anfield stadium. Which team is closer to the champion title?

Pellegrini argues that the City will not play for a draw, however, we think that the result will suit them. Currently it has 4 points less than the Reds, but it has two more games ahead. Both teams are in great shape and it is difficult to point out to the favorite of the match. Sportsbooks offer odds of 2.40 for a home win, 3.50 for a draw (odds for a draw have been dropping), 2.80 for away win. Judging from the recent matches between these teams we can see that three out of four matches ended in a 2:2 draw, so we are not surprised be the drop in the odds. In general it is very difficult to predict the outcome of this match given the strength of offense of both teams. We believe that given the odds it is better to bet on a draw. We are waiting for a good result in this match. Average number of goals in matches involving the two teams in the Premier League is about 3.75 goals / match. The fact is that it is difficult to imagine numerous attacks from the first minutes of the match, but given the scoring effectiveness of the clubs we expect goals from both parties. Odds for over 3 goals - 1.90 may not be so high but it is worth our attention.

Average number of goals in matches involving Liverpool in the English league this season - 3.9 goals / match
Average number of goals in the matches involving Manchester City in the English league this season - 3.6 goals / match
Average number of goals in the matches between the teams - 2.7 goals / match
