[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Liverpool (3 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses) welcome Bayer Leverkusen (2-1-0) to Anfield Tuesday for a UEFA Champions League battle. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (Paramount+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Liverpool vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool, which currently sits atop the English Premier League, has beaten 10 of its last 11 opponents and is coming off a 2-1 home win over Brighton Saturday. The Reds are undefeated in Champions League play, having wins over Bologna, RB Leipzig, and AC Milan. They have a +5 goal differential through those 3 games and are +13 in 10 EPL matches. Liverpool is led by F Mohamed Salah, who has 7 goals in league play.

Bayer Leverkusen sits 4th in the Bundesliga, the top league in Germany. Bayer games have featured a lofty amount of goals as they average 2.22 per game and allow 1.67 per game, having scored 20 and allowed 15 in 9 Bundesliga matches. They are coming off a 0-0 draw with Stuttgart Friday. Leverkusen has a +5 goal differential in 3 Champions League matches, having beaten AC Milan and Feyenoord and having drawn Brest.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Liverpool vs. Bayer Leverkusen picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (-140).

Liverpool is averaging 1.90 goals per game in EPL play, but unlike Bayer, it has been able to keep its backline formidable, allowing just 0.6. It has been virtually unbeatable at home, having won 4 of 5 EPL matches and having won their lone home Champions League match by multiple goals. It has allowed just 1 goal in those 3 Champions League matches.

Leverkusen is 2-2-0 on the road, but its competition in the Bundesliga isn’t as competitive as a match against Liverpool will be. Bayer has drawn 3 of its last 4 games in all competitions and have a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, a game that may resemble this one. In that match, they had 1.3 fewer expected goals.

Expect Liverpool to take care of business at home, and at this value, feel free to back LIVERPOOL (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-165).

Neither team has really shown its offensive prowess consistently in the Champions League. Bayer has scored 6 goals and allowed just 1, but 4 of those goals came against Feyenoord in their first Champions League action. They had just 1.7 expected goals as well, so they made the most of their attempts. Against Liverpool, that’ll be tougher to do. Bayer has gone Under even 2.5 in 2 of those 3 matches.

Liverpool has gone Under 2.5 in 2 of 3 as well, and it has one of the best defenses in the world. The Reds’ defense has been strong this season and has 7 clean sheets in 15 matches in all competitions, and they have allowed more than 1 goal just twice.

Expect the consistent low-scoring Champions League battles to continue and, despite the slightly expensive value, back UNDER 3.5 (-165).

RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

RB Leipzig (0 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses) welcomes Liverpool (2-0-0) to Red Bull Arena Wednesday for the 3rd of 8 matchdays in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool sits atop the English Premier League after taking down Chelsea 2-1 at home Sunday. The Reds have allowed just 3 goals through their 8 EPL matches and have a 7-0-1 including a 3-0-1 showing at home. F Mohamed Salah leads Liverpool with a team-high 10 goals and assists — 5 apiece. In UEFA competition, Liverpool beat Milan 3-1 on the road Sept. 17 and beat Bologna 2-0 at home Oct. 2.

Leipzig hasn’t faired well in UEFA competition but has dominated the Bundesliga — it is tied with Bayern Munich for 1st place with 17 points. Leipzig is 5-2-0 in Bundesliga play with a 9-plus goal differential, having allowed just 2 goals. F Lois Openda leads Leipzig with a team-high 4 goals. In UEFA action, Leipzig has struggled, losing 2-1 on the road to Atletico Madrid Sept. 19 and 3-2 at home to Juventus Oct. 2. Leipzig is coming off a 2-0 road win over Mainz 05 Saturday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 2, RB Leipzig 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (-115).

Looking at how Liverpool has played on the road, both in EPL action and in UEFA action, it is a perfect 5-0-0. In Champions League play it has had at least double the expected goals of its opponent throughout both matches as well.

Leipzig (+270) hasn’t faired well at home but is 0-0-2 against UEFA competition, and this should be a higher level than it has played this season. Expect Liverpool to come out on top against a Leipzig side that has struggled against top competition.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE 2.5 (+145).

Both teams have exceeded expectations defensively during their respective league play. RB Leipzig has a tough test on its hands with a talented Liverpool attack, but regardless of the caliber of the opponent, Leipzig has impressively held its foes to 2 goals in 7 Bundesliga matches. It has gone Under this total in 2 straight games and in 3 of its last 5.

Liverpool has allowed just 3 goals in 8 league games and is 1-1 O/U this total in Champions League matches. The Reds have allowed a combined 1.0 expected goals in both matches though, so they have consistently limited opponent opportunities.

That said, back UNDER ALTERNATE 2.5 (+145).

Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Liverpool (6 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcome Chelsea (4-2-1) to Anfield Sunday for a clash of 2 of the top-4 EPL sides. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (USA Network/Telemundo). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool has been dominant this season and sits atop the English Premier League. The Reds have been led by F Mohamed Salah, who has 4 goals and a team-high 4 assists. They are coming off a 1-0 win on the road over Crystal Palace on Oct. 5. Liverpool is 2-0-1 at home with that lone setback a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. It has a clean sheet in 5 of its 7 matches and 2 of 3 at home.

Chelsea, by most measures, have exceeded expectations so far in the early season and is 4th in the EPL. It has a +8 goal differential and is perfect on the road (3-0-0). Chelsea is led by star English F Cole Palmer, who has 6 goals and 5 assists, both of which lead the team. It is coming off a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham Forest on Oct. 6. Chelsea has allowed 2 goals in its 3 road matches.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: -105 | U: -135)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Liverpool vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 1, Chelsea 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+333).

Liverpool has been impressive this season, but it hasn’t played a quality side. It has a 3-0 win over Manchester United in which it had just 0.4 more expected goals.

However, it hasn’t beaten quality opponents, and Chelsea, while it has a 2-0 loss to Manchester City on its resume, did have 0.2 more expected goals in that match and is undefeated on the road through its 1st 3 games.

Chelsea has impressively had at least 1.3 or more expected goals in 3 straight league matches. Expect it to keep pace, and for this value, back DRAW (+333).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-135).

In its lone match against a top-3 EPL side, Chelsea was held scoreless at home. It scored just 1 goal in its last EPL match as well. While it has attacking talent, the Liverpool defense is one of the most formidable units in the league and should be able to limit the Blues.

Liverpool has yet to allow multiple goals in any game this season and have a clean sheet in 2 of 3 at home. It has held 5 of 7 opponents to 0.6 expected goals of fewer. Similarly, Liverpool has scored more than 2 just twice, so it shouldn’t be expected to explode offensively.

With that in mind, back UNDER 3.5 (-135). If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also consider the Alternative Under 2.5 (+175) for a nice profit.

Man U vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Man U vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Man U (1 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcomes Liverpool (2-0-0) to Old Trafford Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Man U vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Man U has historically been one of the EPL’s most recognizable names, but it has struggled over the last few seasons. United kicked off their season with a 1-0 win over Fulham but lost 2-1 on the road to Brighton, ending with 0.7 fewer expected goals in their 2nd match. United has tallied 2 and allowed 2 in 2 matches. Man U’s offense is driven mainly by the play of M Casemiro, 1 of 4 players to have logged all 180 minutes for United.

Liverpool finished 3rd in the EPL last season (United 8th) and has gotten off to a quick start. The Reds beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on the road to start the season then took down Brentford 2-0 at home. Liverpool has had 2.6 expected goals and has allowed 0.5 expected goals in both games. It is led by F Mohamed Salah, who has netted 2 goals and has an assist through 2 matches.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +118 | U: -142)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Man U vs. Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Man U 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (-120).

United has a slew of new talent on their roster, and meshing those with a group of veterans takes time. That group of veterans didn’t produce last season as United didn’t met expectations. They lost 2 of 3 at home to teams that finished in the top 3. To commence this season, they already had a tough loss to Brighton.

Liverpool has consistency with players like Salah and D Virgil van Djik. The Reds have been dominant in both their 1st 2 games and should be expected to continue that Sunday. They won 9 of 19 road games last season.

Take LIVERPOOL (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET ALTERNATIVE UNDER 2.5 (+168).

Liverpool’s defense has been too good to assume there will be numerous goals in this battle. It has won both of its games 2-0, having yet to allow a goal. Having allowed just 1.0 expected goals is impressive as well.

Man U has given up a goal per game as well, but it has a competent backline led by England D Harry Maguire. United’s offense hasn’t been potent either, scoring just 1.00 per game. Considering the value here, back ALTERNATIVE UNDER 2.5 (+168).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Brighton & Hove Albion (5 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses) welcomes Liverpool (5-1-1) to Falmer Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 9 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Brighton is 3-0-1 at home this season but is coming off a discouraging 6-1 loss on the road to Aston Villa Sept. 30. Between the 2 weekends, it drew Marseille 2-2 in the Europa League. Brighton has a 3-1 home win over Newcastle and 3-1 road win over Man U this season. It is led in scoring by 18-year-old Irish F Evan Ferguson, who has 4 goals in 7 matches.

Liverpool is 2-1-1 on the road this season. It lost 2-1 on the road to Tottenham Sept. 30. That was Liverpool’s first draw or loss since its season-opening 1-1 draw with Chelsea. It has won 5 straight matches which included a 2-1 road win over Newcastle. Liverpool is led by F Darwin Nunez and F Mohamed Salah, both of whom have 3 goals on the season.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Brighton 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (+105).

Through all competitions, the EFL Cup and Europa League included, Brighton is 1-1-3 over its last five competitions. It hasn’t performed well over the last few weeks, losing to AEK Athens 3-2, Chelsea 1-0 and Aston Villa 6-1.

Liverpool had won 5 straight EPL matches before its loss to Tottenham and had won its last 2 away matches. It has the high-level talent to push Brighton’s lacking defense.

Take LIVERPOOL (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-125).

Liverpool has scored 3 or more goals in 4 of 7 EPL matches and has allowed a goal in all but 1 match as well. Goals have been in Brighton’s gameplan as well.

It has scored 3 or more in 3 of 4 home matches and have allowed 2 goals per game. Both teams score often and haven’t defended much. Back OVER 3.5 (-125).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with English Premier League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Tottenham Hotspur (4 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Liverpool (5-1-0) to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tottenham vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham drew Arsenal last week 2-2 with captain F Son Heung-Min netting both goals for a brace. On the other side of the field, it was D Cristian Romero who had an own goal and conceded a penalty that allowed Arsenal its 2 goals. Tottenham has come out victorious in both its home matches this season scoring 2 goals in each game.

Liverpool has been on fire this far, scoring 3 goals in each of its last 5 matches, 3 of which were Premier League matches. Its last EPL action came last Sunday when it defeated West Ham 3-1. It was F Darwin Nunez who found the back of the net in the 60th minute to give Liverpool the lead. Liverpool is 2-0-1 on the road this season, outscoring opponents 6-3 in those matches. Nunez and F Mohamed Salah lead the team with 3 goals each through the first 6 matches.

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Tottenham 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL +115.

While Liverpool will face a difficult test on the road, it has had no trouble finding the back of the net this season especially away from home. Still playing without star Harry Kane, Tottenham will not be able to keep up with the talented Reds.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 3.5 (-130).

In 3 of the last 5 matches between these clubs, there have been 4 or more goals including the last time they faced off which had 7 goals. Both of these clubs have talented offenses that are more than capable of creating scoring opportunities.

Liverpool has allowed at least 1 goal in all but 1 match this season while Tottenham has allowed a total of 5 goals in its last 3 matches.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Liverpool (4 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses) welcomes West Ham (3-1-1) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 9 a.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. West Ham odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool is 2-0-0 at home this season and, throughout all EPL competitions, has scored 12 goals and allowed 4. It has scored at least 3 goals in 3 of its 5 matches. Its lone draw (0-0) was a road match with Chelsea to start the season. Three players have 2 goals each for Liverpool, but F Mohamed Salah is the most lethal with 2 goals and a team-high 4 assists in 5 matches.

West Ham is 2-1-0 on the road this season, and it has scored 10 goals and allowed 7 in its 5 EPL matches. West Ham has scored 3 goals in 2 of 5 games but has allowed at least 1 goal in each game and may struggle on the road against a high-octane Liverpool attack. Offensively, West Ham is led by F Jarrod Bowen, who has 3 goals in 5 starts.

Liverpool vs. West Ham picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 3, West Ham 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no value on the moneyline.

West Ham has a good record and sat 6th in the league coming into the weekend, but it hasn’t performed well against top-tier competition. It lost 3-1 to Manchester City at home last weekend.

West Ham is one of the better mid-tier sides, but Liverpool should be able to win this game with relative ease. Liverpool was a strong 13-5-1 at home last season.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-105).

Liverpool averaged 1.97 goals per game last season, and it is topping that through 5 games. It is averaging 2.40 goals per game and has scored 3 or more in 3 of its last 4. It has had 2.5 or more expected goals in 3 of its last 4 as well.

Liverpool’s defense is competent, but it has allowed a goal in all but one game as well. A similar style of play can be said of West Ham. The West Ham attack should be able to get one through as it has had success this season, averaging 2.0 goals per game. It has also allowed a goal in every game.

Both defenses have been average as both attacks have ramped up as the season has continued. Take OVER 3.5 (-105).

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Newcastle United (1 win, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcomes Liverpool (1-1-0) to St. James’ Park Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Newcastle went to Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City last weekend and left with a 1-0 loss. It did end with 7 shots. Newcastle won its season-opening match at home 5-1 over Aston Villa. 23-year-old F Alexander Isak is the team’s key attacker, having scored 2 goals throughout the 2 matches. Newcastle ended last season with an 11-6-2 home record, winning 5 of its last 7 home matches.

Liverpool, a team with aspirations to win the league this season, drew Chelsea 1-1 on the road in its opener. It ended with 13 shots yet just 35% possession. It then beat Bournemouth 3-1 at home last weekend despite a 58th-minute red card. F Luis Diaz leads the team with 2 goals through the 2 matches, scoring the team’s only shot on frame in its opener. Liverpool was 6-5-8 on the road last season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+290).

Newcastle lost to both Liverpool and Arsenal at home last season and then drew Man City 3-3 at home. This is a better Newcastle team, but those same struggles against top-tier sides at home could remain. It had 7 fewer shots and just 41% possession against Man City last weekend, so it might not quite be as good as expected.

Liverpool wasn’t too competent last season on the road, drawing or losing 13 of 19. It drew 5 last season. Liverpool drew Chelsea on the road to open the season and should find a similar result here.

For a small unit, sprinkle DRAW (+290).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE 2.5 (+150).

Liverpool was tied for the fewest goals allowed in the 2021-22 season and had a strong defense again last year. D Virgil van Djik still leads the backline, and it has given up just 1 goal per game this season, allowing up 4 shots goal against Chelsea. Liverpool scored in its lone shot on frame against Chelsea, so that wasn’t an overly convincing showing for its attack.

Newcastle had just 1 shot on frame against City, which countered the 5 goals it put on Aston Villa in its opener. Newcastle has allowed 1 goal per game and scored 2.5, but again, this will be a highly competitive match with likely fewer opportunities.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+150).

Liverpool vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ARSENAL (+145).

The Reds have been on fire as of late, having won 7 league-match games in a row. It hasn’t just been that Arsenal has won but moreso the manner in which they win.

They have won their last 3 games 4-1, 4-1 and 3-0. They also beat Liverpool the 1st time around and have performed equally as well on the road as at home.

Liverpool has also lost 4 of their last 8 throughout all competitions and 2 of their last 3 league matches. They are difficult to trust here, even at home.

Ultimately, back ARSENAL (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-160).

The value isn’t necessary here to suggest a play, but it’s really the only way I’d play this battle. Liverpool’s played 2 games in the last week and should have relatively tired legs.

They have played Man City 4 times this season (2 times in non-league matches) and Arsenal once, going Over 2.5 in 4 of the 5 matches. Arsenal has scored 3 or more in 5 straight league matches and has gone Over this total in 7 of their last 8 league matches.

Superstar Liverpool D Virgil van Dijk missed the team’s match with Chelsea earlier this week with illness, so he may not get a full 90 either. Ultimately, despite the juice, take the OVER 2.5 (-160).

Real Madrid vs Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Real Madrid vs Liverpool odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Real Madrid welcomes Liverpool to the Santiago Bernabeu in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Real Madrid vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Real Madrid beat Liverpool 5-2 on Feb. 21 in the 1st leg at Anfield. They did have fewer expected goals though, 1.6 vs. 1.8.

Real Madrid is coming off a 3-1 home win over Espanyol and sits 2nd in La Liga. They are unbeaten in 12 matches at home, posting 8 wins and 4 draws. Real averages 2 goals per game and has allowed .76 in league play. They were 4-1-1 in the Champions League group stage.

Liverpool posted 5 wins and a loss in the group stage, but had a worse goal differential than Napoli. Liverpool has a steep hole to climb out of, and they’ll have to do it with just a 3-7-3 road record, having tallied just 12 points in 13 away EPL matches. Liverpool is led by star F Mohamed Salah, who has 11 goals in 26 starts.

Real Madrid vs Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+285).

Real Madrid should be coasting for some of this game and just looking to possess and defend. Liverpool has a dynamic attack, but it had just 1.8 expected goals in the 1st matchup.

Real Madrid, despite having 5 goals, had just 1.6 expected goals. It was a closer game than the final tally indicated. Real Madrid will be down D David Alaba as well, so its backline could be weaker than usual.

For the value and considering how close this battle was last game, lean to the DRAW (+285).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN ALTERNATE UNDER 2.5 (+150).

Considering how the last game between these clubs went, bettors should expect goals, but the strength for both teams is still in their backline.

Real Madrid allows .76 goals per game in league play. In a more competitive EPL, Liverpool is still only allowing 1.12 goals per game. Both teams gave up 6 goals in 6 games in group stage play.

This game should be at a slower pace with the more talented Real side looking to control the pace in order to advance. Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+150) but only a lean here given the value and odds.
