On Saturday afternoon in the English city of Liverpool, the Reds will be playing host to the lads from Hull City in their next Premier League fixture. This should be an easy opportunity to win a bit of cash with the chances of Liverpool losing being very slim.
Liverpool
After a shaky start to the 2009/10 Premier League season, Liverpool is finally beginning to find some solid form. They are currently sitting in third place on the league table after winning their last 3 premier league fixtures. Overall they have won their last 5 games including 1 Carling Cup match and 1 Champions League match.
They have definitely been impressive over the last few weeks and their current form would be expected to be continued as they take on Hull at Anfield.
Liverpool only has 2 injuries in their line-up at the moment with Alberto Aquilani out with an ankle/foot injury (2 Weeks) and Daniel Agger with a back injury (5 Weeks).
Hull City
Hull City has not had a good opening to their Premier League campaign only managing to take 4 points in their 6 league fixtures so far. On average, Hull City is conceding slightly over 2 goals per game this season and they have lost their last 2 premier league games as well as taking a loss on Wednesday in the Carling Cup. The 2 games prior to this resulted in a draw against the Wolves and a win over Southend in the Carling Cup.
A very disappointing start to the season from Hull City has resulted with them sitting in 19th place on the league table and unless they can turn it around, they may be facing relegation in the next few months.
Their line-up is currently riddled with injuries with 5 players out. The list includes Steven Mouyokolo with a hamstring injury (3 Days), Anthony Gardner with a knee injury (3 Days), Richard Garcia with a knee injury (5 Weeks), Jimmy Bullard with a knee injury (1 week) and Ian Ashbee is out with a PCL tear (7 Months).
My Opinion
Liverpool should be the outright winner here without any trouble from the visiting side. Liverpool only just missed out on the Premier league title last season and they are expected to challenge for it again this season. Hull City on the other hand is not exactly the best team in the league and will find it difficult to stave off defeat at the hands of the Reds.
The best bet for this match would have to be the correct score of 2-0 with a Liverpool win. The payout for this is currently $6.80 and is a very likely score line. Another safe bet would be on a clean sheet for Liverpool paying $1.70.
