Liverpool have never faced Bulgarian minnows Ludogorets Razgrad before and this may well be the easiest Champions League game they face in Group B. Certainly Basel and, of course, Real Madrid, will offer a far greater challenge and so we predict the Reds will go all out for the win here. Read on for our betting tips, live odds comparison and match preview as we take a look at this Champions League mismatch.
The betting odds instantly show that the bookies, like us, are predicting a comfortable home win, with Liverpool priced at odds of just 2/9 with William Hill compared to a whopping 18/1 (Betfair) for Ludogorets. The draw, not something we’ll be betting on, is priced at 6/1 and would surely seem like a win for the visitors.
Liverpool have been a little hit and miss at times this season but Anfield is a formidable place to play under the floodlights in the Champions League and they have overwhelmed better sides that Ludogorets before.
We expect them to start fast and so our prediction and main betting tip is to back Liverpool/Liverpool in the ht/ft market, a steal, even at short betting odds of just 8/11 with BetVictor.
