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.

Liverpool vs. West Ham odds, picks and predictions

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

[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 odds, picks and predictions

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

Liverpool (12 wins, 9 losses, 7 draws) welcomes Arsenal (23-3-3) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2 on Oct. 9 at home. Arsenal had 2.7 expected goals which blew away Liverpool’s 1.1.

Liverpool is 9-1-3 at home this season and is averaging 1.71 goals per game. They allow 1.18. The home side is 0-2-1 in their last 3 games. Liverpool is led by star M Mohamed Salah, who has 12 goals and 7 assists (both team highs) on the season.

Arsenal is 11-2-1 on the road this season. They are averaging 2.41 goals per game while allowing just .93. They sit atop the EPL and are 5 points clear of Man City. Arsenal has 3 players with double-figure goals, but it is F Martinelli who has a team-high 13.

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.

Liverpool (11 wins, 7 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Manchester United (15-5-4) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Manchester United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

With the Manchester City win over Newcastle Saturday, Man U is now 9 points out of 2nd place (having played 2 fewer games than City). United has scored 41 goals and allowed 28 in 24 matches. United is led by the surging F Marcus Rashford, who has 14 goals in 22 starts.

Liverpool, who has dropped off since a 2nd-place finish last season, sit 6th in the league and have scored 40 goals and allowed 28. Losing F Sadio Mane in the offseason was disruptive for this team. They are led by F Mohamed Salah, who has 9 goals and 5 assists this season.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 1, Manchester United 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+265).

Liverpool will be facing a competent side, and while they have played well at home, they still have 3 draws in 12 matches. They lost 2-1 to Man U Aug. 22, 2022, but the sides were within 0.5 expected goals of each other.

Man U has 2 draws in 12 road matches but have drawn 2 of their last 7 throughout all competitions. They are red hot, having won 9 of their last 11 but are facing one of the most complete sides in the EPL.

Considering the competitive nature and similar level of play, put a small unit on the DRAW (+265).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+130).

Liverpool has gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions and in their last 4 league matches. They are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 EPL matches.

Without Mane, the Liverpool attack has taken a huge hit this season. They averaged 2.47 goals per game last season and are down to just 1.67. They also allow just 1.17 per game, so the defense has remained elite.

Man U has scored 2 or more goals in just 5 of 12 road matches this season, and against an elite defense, they should struggle to find opportunity. Also, they allow just 1.17 per game as well, so they have an elite backline.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+130).

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+260).

Liverpool has drawn 2 of their last 3 home games and 3 of their last 6. They haven’t played up to standard with those draws coming against Derby County, Wolves and Chelsea.

While Benzema may be out, Madrid has received production from F Federico Valverde, who has 7 goals. The road side has also been solid in this situation, posting 9 wins in 12 away matches. They were 1-1-1 on the road in Champions League Group Stage matches.

These teams are close on paper and familiar with each other. Picking a winner is difficult, and the DRAW (+260) has value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

All 4 of the Round of 16 games played so far has gone Under 2.5 goals with 3 of them ending 1-0. While both teams have dynamic attacks, the defenses will be just as good. D Virgil van Djik, D Jordi Alaba and D Daniel Carvajal are some of the best in the world at their position.

Real has gone Under this total in their last 3 road games while Liverpool has gone Under in 2 straight road matches. Considering the Round of 16 trends mixed with different attacking styles, back the UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Compared to results last season, both teams have been relatively disappointing, tied for 9th on the table — though Chelsea has played 1 more game. It’s not what was expected of Liverpool and Chelsea, who finished 2nd and 3rd in the EPL last season, respectively.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (-115).

Chelsea, simply put, is just too shorthanded to go on the road and get any type of result. It is expected to be down D Reece James, MF N’Golo Kante, D Ben Chilwell, F Raheem Sterling and F Christian Pulisic.

That’s just too much firepower and is just a few names that are expected to be sidelined. Couple that with inadequate road performances this season by Chelsea, and Liverpool should manage to come out on top. At this value, the home side is a strong play.

Liverpool also has quality home wins this season to showcase its dominance, beating Man City 1-0 (Oct. 16) and Newcastle 2-1 (Aug. 31). The Reds have played well against quality opponents at home, and that should continue Saturday. BACK LIVERPOOL (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+120).

With Firmino doubtful for Liverpool, the Reds will be without a key forward as well. Chelsea is down at least 2 key forwards along with many pieces that are crucial to quality build-up transitions.

Chelsea has gone scoreless in 2 of its last 5 home games and has gone Under this total in 3 of those 5. Ultimately, considering the pieces the Blues are down and their style of play, back UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Manchester United (0 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Liverpool (0-0-2) Monday to Old Trafford with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Both teams have started this season extremely disappointing. Liverpool has 2 draws after finishing 2nd in the league last season. They did lose star F Sadio Mane this offseason.

Liverpool drew Fulham 2-2 and then Crystal Palace 1-1. Liverpool did beat Manchester City 3-1 on July 30 to win the Community Shield which does showcase the potential this squad has.

As for Manchester United, they seem to be imploding. United has lost their first 2 games and were absolutely destroyed by Brentford their last time on the pitch.

They lost 4-0 to Brentford and 2-1 to Brighton. Despite having superstar F Cristiano Ronaldo, United has actually yet to score as their lone goal was technically an own goal.

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Manchester United 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

These money line odds are nasty, and mainly because Liverpool doesn’t feel that much better than United, especially on the road. Similarly, betting on United just feels like a waste of money at this point.

I would personally stay far away from betting either side here as both are just not proven enough so far this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+155).

When it rains, it pours, and that’s how it felt watching United against Brentford.

Brentford scored 4, but a few of those were on GK David de Gea. Those mistakes won’t be repeated. Brentford had just 1.8 expected goals. Man U has not scored a goal aside from Brighton’s own goal.

Liverpool had only 7 shots on target through the 2 games. Losing Mane is a big deal for their attack with F Mohamed Salah expected to carry a heavier load.

Also, Liverpool had one of the best defenses in the EPL last season and should limit the struggling Man U attack. Considering it all, and I like the Under 2.5 (+155) as the best value in this match.
