RED BULL SALZBURG v LIVERPOOL - 17:55 KO

Have to agree Liverpool’s away form in qualifiers in this comp is poor and the opposition have lost only once in last 20 so it’s conceivable

Napoli are in turmoil, haven't won in 8, Ancelotti on the verge of the sack and the players revolting against the President after he fined them last month. They still put in a great performance against Liverpool at Anfield during that run but not beyond the realms of possibility that they get beaten tonight in the circumstances. A draw will do for them. Still more chance of Salzburg winning than Genk tho.

Nah. Salzburg have done very well but I can't see them outscoring Liverpool. Besides, anybody looking at anything other than goals tonight needs their head read.

BTTS to score is 1.33, haven't seen this market that low in any match for a long time, it's a banker though, Liverpool to win/btts the best bet as usual.

always dangerous betting on a team when they dont have to win

They kind of do, Gibmark. Do you think Liverpool want to play level with a very dangerous Salzburg going in to the last fifteen minutes?

want to *be* level

yes ,but with only a draw needed to qualify , so long as they dont concede they are through , if drawing with 15 min to go ,they wont be taking any chances

having said that , if they needed to win , i m sure they would

I can't get my head round this, even after looking at BBC and UEFA sites.  Assuming Napoli win, are Liverpool through even if they lose by one goal?

ian,  there's a little provisio on table on bbc-  'There is one scenario where Liverpool will still qualify if they lose, but they need to score four away goals or more and only lose by one goal (eg a 5-4 defeat)

if Napoli win they will be on 12pts .
Liveppol lose , they willbe on 10pts as RB Salzburg will be , atm GD is Lpool +3 , RB Salz +5 , = Lpool will not go through

does hth not come before gd ? hence 5-4 defeat would be enough as would have beaten rbs on away goals ( on hth ) .

I think morpteh mackem is right.  Looks like head to head doesn't take goal difference into account as first priority.

Simply put if Liverpool lose by anything other than a single goal scoreline higher than 4-3, so 5-4, 6-5 etc they will be out unless Napoli fail to win

H2H works like as if were a 2 legged tie as long as it's 2 teams tied. So Liverpool won 4-3 at home if Salzburg win by any better scoreline than that they will be above Liverpool, and of course that's the majority of wins.

anyhoo, i fancy goals and lots of them !!

Erling Haaland has 28 goals in 21 games.

And apparently a €20M release clause that activates in January.

If Salzburg go out maybe he leaves next month.

I think I'll swerve this one. I reckon Ajax Valencia match has more potential for goals.

ajax and dortmund games look ones for goals for later games.

Nil nil under 1.5 under 2.5

If Napoli win a 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 defeats from Liverpool will see them out.

If Napoli win OR DRAW a 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 defeats from Liverpool will see them out.

Yes.

I actually want Salzburg to win 4-3 as that will ALSO see them out

Sorry, I am worng there. If Napoli draw then Salzburg will have to win by 2.

Jesús no I wasn't wrong, they will go out on goal difference in matches between the top 3 if they lose by one and Napoli draw.

The more we look through the permutations the more precarious Liverpool's position is becoming

It’s not complicated really lol

Would love to see them playing Thursday nights.. What a comedown that would be after winning it the season before.

Has any club achieved that embarrassing feat? Champions league winner and European league season afterwards...

the 3-3 is a lower price than the  0-0   

NEVER seen that before

AOD at 100 

the Alps goalfest beckons

and please it's SALZBURG  and not that bullsh11t crap name they have adopted

it's the worst part of football

what next ?  EMIRATES ARSENAL V CHEVROLET United

Keep that bullsh1t out of the game 

please

BFPP should know better than to use it too

The wunder kid not living up to the hype so far.

Its a toss up who scores 1st in this game as that 1st half could easily have been 2-2 its we attack you attack but Saleh has wasted an absolute guilt edged chance and it could come back to haunt them.

cant remember liverpool as nervous as this, need a goal to calm the nerves

Salzburg 6 shots on goal, Liverpool 3, surely both score by the end.

On Salah FGS
Painful watch...

And it gets more painful

Ronnie O'Sullivan would be chuffed at getting that angle right

Strudels being chucked on the pitch as we speak

It's never over until the Fat Lady Yodels.

Sorry Thursday nights a no no

Another good and comfortable performance from Liverpool against a young and inspiring Salzburg with plenty of potential. In my opinion, Salzburg would not disgrace themselves in the Premier Leagues, certainly holding their own against teams outside of the top four.
