Liverpool v Hearts betting will see the battle of Britain continue in the Europa League Play Off, with the Reds taking a narrow advantage back to Anfield with them. Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers saw his understrength side come back from Scotland with a 1-0 win, courtesy of an own goal by the home side. The Reds had found the going tough, as expected, against Hearts who spurned some good first half chances to get a grip of the match. Some of Liverpool’s key players like Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez were taking a rest, and the Reds came under fire with goalkeeper Pepe Reina being busy. The game would have taken on a totally different context if the home side’s forwards had brought their shooting boots.
But Liverpool gradually worked their way into the game, with youngster Raheem Sterling looking the bright spark and a tremendous talent once again. The breakthrough for Liverpool came when Martin Kelly’s cross hit Hearts’ Andy Webber and deflected into the net. As much as Hearts tried to push forward for an equaliser, they couldn’t get the breakthrough and now the advantage firmly lies with the Reds. Liverpool have an important away goal and they should get their foot on the ball and be able to control the pace of the game better at Anfield. The visitors have to come at them at some point and that should just open the doors for Liverpool. The Reds almost took three points off Man City in the Premier League on Sunday, a late defensive error by Martin Skrtel gifting City a goal which shared a point. The Reds this week captured midfielder Nuri Sahin on loan.
