Stoke v Liverpool Betting Tips – Premier League 29th November 8.00pm
Liverpool were left a little frustrated again on the weekend as their defence could not hold on to a lead. They had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Anfield against Chelsea but may find the Stoke defence a little more forgiving than that of the reigning champions. Stoke have not carried much form this season and their confidence should rightly be low after they blew a lead against bottom side Crystal Palace on the weekend to end up losing.
Stoke News and Form
Stoke have only gone D2 L1 in their last three league games so could use a win to give themselves a boost, especially after what happened to them on the weekend. After taking the lead against Crystal Palace they ended up losing 2-1. The defence of Stoke this season has been pretty non-existent really and they have shipped at least two goals in five of their last six league games. It should be worth having a look at over 3.5 goals at William Hill as 83% of Stoke’s home games have gone above the goal line this term. 50% of Stoke’s home games have seen four or more goals in them. The Potters have a mixed W2 D2 L2 record at the Bet365 Stadium this season and have picked up just one win in their last five league matches there. So there hasn’t been much to cheer about. Both victories that they have managed to take on home soil have both been by a one goal margin. Stoke City conceded at least one goal in 83% of their home matches this term, while they have scored in all but one of their home league fixtures. Both teams to score at William Hill looks a good option. The Potters are on a seven match Premier League scoring streak at least but have no clean sheet in their last five on home soil.
Liverpool News and Form
Liverpool couldn’t hang on for a win against Chelsea on the weekend at Anfield having to settle for a 1-1 draw after having taken the lead in the match. The Reds though have a good W3 D1 record in their last four games and have returned eleven goals in those four games and have taken two clean sheets in that sequence. Both clean sheets though were at home and they have not taken one away from Anfield this season and so they will be at least be vulnerable to conceding in this one. Liverpool’s away form is W2 D2 L2 this season and they have won one of their last three, a 4-1 victory at West Ham. 83% of their away games have gone over 2.5 goals and they have conceded at an average rate of 2.6 goals per road game this season while averaging exactly two goals per game themselves. They have struck the first goal in 8 of their 13 Premier League matches and they have Mo Salah going well in front of goal, adding his tenth league goal of the season against Chelsea on the weekend. He is a pretty decent 7/2 William Hill first goalscorer option for the game given the form that he is in in front of goal.
Stoke v Liverpool Head to Head
Liverpool have a three match winning streak going away at Stoke so are justifiable favourites for this one. All three of those wins there were by a one goal margin. The Reds have posted a W8 L2 record in their last ten games against Stoke in all competitions. Four of the wins for Liverpool in that sequence were 1-0 victories.

Stoke v Liverpool Predictions
Liverpool to win: The Reds are a short price, but they are value to go out and win this is a game in which both teams score. The Reds continue to look vulnerable at the back but have been carrying decent enough form recently to still pick up the win, even if they concede.
