Liverpool v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips – ICC, 22nd July 9.05pm
Borussia Dortmund are getting in a heavy workload at the start of the International Champions Cup. This comes shortly after their clash with Manchester City in the early hours of Saturday morning so they are not getting much of a turnaround. Liverpool took a friendly win over Blackburn in midweek before heading out to the States to open their campaign in this summer’s ICC.
Liverpool News and Form
Liverpool begin their International Champions Cup action then against Jurgen Klopp’s former club. The Reds banked an easy win over Blackburn at Ewood Park in midweek, looking totally comfortable in the game. Lazar Markovic and Daniel Sturridge got on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win for the Reds. James Milner missed a spot kick in the first half of the game and then Jurgen Klopp made 10 changes at halftime. New signings Naby Keita and Fabinho both made appearances in the second half of the game.
Liverpool aren’t going to be at full strength but will get a good look at their new signings. Both teams to score with 10Bet is at 1/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from July 20th, 2018 at 10:22 p.m.). This has the making of being an open game as we expect a blend of youth and experience from Liverpool in this one and after this, they face Man City and Man Utd in the International Champions Cup. They have played four pre-season games already and you imagine they will be more focused on those meetings with City and Utd in terms of putting on a show.
Borussia Dortmund News and Form
So another test against English opposition for Borussia Dortmund after meeting with Manchester City in the early hours of Saturday morning. New boss Lucien Favre has a big job on his hands over the summer so they need these big games, because they really fell apart badly last term and were a big disappointment on the domestic and European fronts. We are looking at over 3.5 goals at 10 Bet for odds of 7/5* (Betting Odds were taken from July 20th, 2018 at 10:22 p.m.). One good thing about the Dortmund set up is that they have a lot of youth in their ranks, quality youth.
But in the bigger picture, they are in a bit of a transition period so need to build some conscience and togetherness over the summer. They won their opening summer friendly 1-0 against Austria Vienna before facing up to Manchester City. Because of what is going on with BVB they aren’t as settled of a club as Liverpool are, but the Germans didn’t have that many players taking part in the World Cup so they have taken what is a fairly strong squad for their International Champions Cup exploits.
