Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will welcome Red Bull Salzburg to Anfield on Wednesday night for their Champions League Group E match. Liverpool lost 0-2 in their previous CL match away to Napoli while Salzburg beat Genk 6-2 at home. The Reds are in great from though and haven’t lost a home match since Chelsea beat them in a League Cup match in September 2018.

Liverpool vs RB Salzburg Betting Tips and Predictions: Liverpool

Liverpool are on an incredible run of form, they’ve won their last 16 Premier League matches in a row and haven’t lost in the league since losing 2-1 away to Manchester City last January, a total of 24 Premier League matches without defeat. Their Champions League record at home is incredible too, they’ve not lost at home since a 0-3 defeat to Real Madrid back when Brendan Rodgers was manager.

Liverpool needed a bit of luck over the weekend when a goalkeeping mishap from Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson gifteh the Reds a goal. Liverpool fans and Klopp claim that Liverpool are grinding out wins, but beating a newly-promoted team 0-1 and League Two side MK Dons in the League Cup just 0-2 prior to that and it looks like Liverpool are struggling for goals of late. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, their main goal scoring threats, haven’t scored in four games now and will be eager to get back on the scoresheet here.

In team news Liverpool have no new injuries to report. Goalkeeper Alisson is still out, as is Xherdan Shaqiri, but other than those Klopp has a full squad to call upon.

Liverpool vs RB Salzburg Betting Tips and Predictions: Salzburg

Salzburg are on a great run of form too, they’ve not lost a competitive match since a 2-1 away loss to Wolfsberger in the league, so a total of 17 matches, 16 of which they won. Comparing the Austrian league and cup matches to the Premier League is a bit of a stretch though.

However, in last season’s Europa League the Austrian side took a few famous scalps in the group matches, beating Celtic twice, beating their German franchise rivals, Red Bull Leipzig twice and Norwegain side Rosenburg twice as well. In the knockout rounds they beat Brugge 5-2 on aggregate and lost 3-4 to Napoli over two legs.

Young Norwegian striker Erling Haland hit the headlines when he scored a hattrick against Genk in their last Champions League match and has scored 11 in eight league matches. He is suffering from illness though and could miss the match, so check out the team news prior to kickoff. Other than that, Salzburg have no new injuries other than their long term injured who have already been missing for a few games.
