Indium. Liverpool total over 2.5
Liverpool are playing expansive football and have clearly been catching the ball lately. In the last 4 of the 5 matches the Reds have participated in, the total number of goals scored has not dropped below 4, and they are going into the upcoming meeting on a 4-game winning streak.
The most telling match that characterizes the current state of Jürgen Klopp’s team is the last match against Tottenham (4-3). In it, Liverpool were already leading by 3 goals in the 15th minute of the match, but allowed the opponent to return to the game and restore parity in the 93rd minute. However, by the 94th Diogo Jota had returned leadership to the Merseysiders.
Fulham do not have high tournament motivation, unlike their current opponent. Marco Silva’s side are 10th in the Premier League and have been fighting relegation for a long time.
The hallmark of the “summer residents” this season is a very poor defensive game. In terms of the number of expected goals conceded (xga = 1.65), they are in the top four. The situation is complicated by the fact that the main centre-back Tim Rome has been injured. This match will be the first time in the league that Rome will not go out, which is important. Moreover, the club will not be helped by key attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira (4+6).
Liverpool are currently showing their best football this season. The only thing holding him back from such an intense match is his tight schedule. However, against the backdrop of Fulham’s lack of motivation, I think even the available fresh supply will be enough to score at least 3 times.
