Liverpool – Villarreal: On the one hand, Liverpool, which is still claiming all the titles of the season. Undefeated for months, with great football, with many personalities and in an amazing competitive situation. Big favorite to qualify for the final. On the other hand, Villarreal, the team that has driven the whole of Europe crazy. She left Juventus out, made the bang of the decade with Bayern and continues to dream. Holder of last year’s Europa League and in the semifinals of this year’s Champions League. First semifinal between them, with a clear favorite but also with an outsider too hard to die.
The two teams had met in the Europa League semi-finals in 2016, with Liverpool overturning the 1-0 of the first match and with 3-0 at Anfield qualifying. “It’s an impressive team. I have a lot of respect for both Emery and Villarreal, they are great. Villarreal is made for this event. We will not underestimate them, this may have happened at Juventus and Bayern. “Emery is a coach with a plan and his team is very dangerous,” Klopp said of his opponent. Firmino is doubtful for Liverpool, no changes are expected in relation to the match against Everton.
Liverpool – Villarreal: “We are here because we deserve it. We will face a team very prepared after seeing us with Bayern and Juventus. There is no more surprise, she is the favorite. They have huge potential, but we also have great motivation and enthusiasm “, the words of Unai Emery for the big semifinal. It comes from a comfortable 2-0 against Valencia, undefeated in the last five matches in all competitions with three wins and two draws. Except A. Moreno, except Pino, doubtful Z. Moreno who is in the mission anyway.
The estimate for the bet: Liverpool is a huge favorite, most likely it will confirm it at Anfield against the Spaniards. But we have said again that odds at 1.35 – 1.40 are not suitable for us. Not even to get into a rut. Villarreal will play indoors, as they did in Munich, they will want to close the spaces well and look for counterattacks. The question is whether she will manage to find a goal. She has quality midfield, she can create opportunities. Let’s bet on 2 or 3 goals at odds of 2.05 (TigersBet).
