Liverpool heads into the final game of their Premier League season as heavy betting favorites in moneyline markets. With a win here, Liverpool would solidify their bid for qualification in next season’s Champions League and leave Chelsea in fifth spot in the table. However, a loss to Brighton, compounded with a Blues win at Newcastle, would see the opposite outcome and then Liverpool’s only hope for qualification would be a win in the upcoming final versus Real Madrid.
In online moneyline markets, Sportsbook currently has Liverpool as favorites at -600 with Brighton coming back at +1300 while the draw can be had at +650. As far as totals are concerned, OVER 3.5 is priced at EVEN and the UNDER sits at -125.
- Liverpool are undefeated in their last 20 home matches (Premier League)
- Brighton have failed to win their last 12 away matches (Premier League).
- Liverpool have won their last 3 matches against Brighton in all competitions
Liverpool takes the pitch at the same time as Chelsea so they will not have the luxury of knowing the outcome from St. James’ Park heading into this fixture. They’ll be playing to win from the onset of this match seeking the full three points in order to seal their destiny.
Brighton heads to Anfield to face a Reds side that hasn’t lost in front of the Merseyside faithful in 20 matches and they ultimately have nothing to play for in terms of their position in the table. They would, of course, love to knock off a side of Liverpool’s calibre to cap a relatively successful season, but I don’t see this ending well for the Seagulls.
Liverpool will come out in full attack and will want to get an early lead to potentially rest their stars for the upcoming Champions League final in Kyiv. Take the Liverpool -1 first half goal spread at +110.
