Liverpool v West Brom Betting and Match Preview:

This is a match between two sides who are already desperate to pick up points, but for very contrasting reasons. West Brom, as expected before the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League season even kicked off, look as if they are going to struggle to pick up points from anywhere this season and they are already finding life in the league daunting and harsh. Liverpool on the other hand, are seen as the team which really should be the rising phoenix of the season. They need points in order to get themselves back into contention for the Champions League places, as well as any pieces of silverware which they could possible scrap for. This match however, is unlikely to be about who needs the points more, as there is a gulf in class, but the one thing which could level the playing field is any nerves in confidence. Liverpool will be edgy looking for those first three points of the season, and they cannot afford any of the surprising blows they suffered last season in losing to weaker teams. This is perhaps the one key to the game which West Brom will be playing on. West Brom of course aren’t a great side, at least not a great Premier League side, but this is just the sort of fixture where they will possibly raise their game and hang for an unexpected draw. That will be the best result which they could realistically hope for, and therefore football betting will lean heavily towards Liverpool. Obviously the Reds are going to win their fair share of home games this season, and this is just the kind of opposition they will be waiting for. After a tough season opening against Arsenal and then Man City, Liverpool may just see this result as the springboard for positivity and optimism.

Liverpool Betting:

This will be the moment the Kop has been waiting for. After only picking up one point from their opening day fixture against Arsenal, new boss Roy Hodgson may already be feeling a bit hot under the collar. Liverpool survived a tough scare in Turkey in the week, as they really had to dig deep and battle their way through their Europa Cup play off against Trabzonspor and while the season is still young, it looks as if some of the problems of last season are still hanging around. The personnel may have changed somewhat at Anfield, but they still look a bit listless and uninspired. In their Monday night 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, Hodgson will have seen how difficult a task he has on his hands if he is going to get Liverpool back into the Champions League. Liverpool were simply outworked in all areas of the pitch against Manchester City, who just had more desire and more hunger to win balls and work as a team. City had the edge in everything and Hodgson must be wondering how often that is going to happen. Last season, Liverpool were devoid of creativity in midfield, and without Torres fully fit for most of the season, lacked any punch up front. That is another problem which is still evident. You could already write a novel about the saga at Anfield over the summer, with talk of takeover and injections of cash, and Hodgson picking up free transfers to try and steady the ship. There is ongoing talk about unsettled Argentinean Javier Mascherano wanting to leave (who is signing now for Barcelona), and they have sent out last summer’s big signing Alberto Aquilani on loan. Granted Hodgson may need some time to iron out the creases, but quite how he is going to get Liverpool going forward is a puzzle. However, it is home matches like this which should be able to offer some glimmers of hope. This should be something of a banker for Liverpool, and they need a solid win for confidence and progress. Even with their troubles there is no real reason not to back them here because they should be able to drive home the advantages which they do have over the Premier League new boys. Liverpool at home, should be a three pointer against West Brom.

West Brom Betting:

The re-introduction of West Brom back into the Premier League has been a tough one for the midlands club. Thumped 6-0 by Chelsea on the opening day of the season, they responded well by giving their home supporters something to cheer about by beating Sunderland. That will have done them the world of good, but Roberto Di Matteo has a long season ahead, even if he lasts the entire season. There really are going to be no easy matches for West Brom, but there is a positive spin they can look at. With early matches against Chelsea and Liverpool, they are at least on a very steep learning curve and perhaps this will set them in good stead for when the easier games do come along. They cannot afford to let confidence be shattered so early, they have to stand collectively together and dig deep. Again, going into this match at Anfield, West Brom really have nothing to lose as there is no expectation upon them to win. A draw would be a nice reward and getting that would entail learning from their early season mistakes, and putting in a real backs to the wall performance. West Brom would be happy with a draw here, make no mistake as that would be precious over the course of the season. They will know that Liverpool will have the upper hand and will control most of the game, but with new striker Peter Odemwingie starting well last week, and after picking up Celtic’s Marc-Antoine Fortune, West Brom are looking to do all they can to survive. This will probably be a step they are not quite ready for just yet, as they don’t have a great Premier League record against the Reds.
