Betting tips: Liverpool x Burnley
Check out our predictions of the day for Liverpool vs. Burnley
Prediction 1: Liverpool x Burnley / Liverpool to win
Despite suffering a disjointed loss in north London in their previous match, Liverpool should return to winning ways at Anfield against Burnley. On Merseyside, the Clarets’ determination to play out from the back may prove to be their undoing, given that the Reds have won their last four meetings with the Clarets without conceding.
Midfielder Thiago and Wataru Endo’s returns will strengthen Klopp’s options, as Liverpool have won every home game in all competitions this season. It’s doubtful that this will change on Saturday, and Liverpool ought to win all three points.
Prediction 2: Liverpool x Burnley / Over 3.5 Goals
When Liverpool came to Turf Moor over the holidays, Burnley played well. Given Liverpool’s home goal-scoring tendencies and Burnley’s goal-scoring prowess on the road, it’s likely that neither team will be able to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
But Klopp’s squad comes to Anfield roaring with a point to prove, and the injured hosts are anticipated to score many goals against their relegation-threatened opponents.
Prediction 3: Liverpool x Burnley / Darwin Nunez to score anytime
Darwin Nunez was only a sub at Arsenal but could get the nod to start on Saturday to score anytime and add to the 16 goals he has scored for club and country this season.
