Liverpool v Deportivo Preview

Rafael Benitez is the right man to be leading Liverpool into tonight's Champions League clash against Deportivo??because he has an intimate knowledge about the way they play from his La Liga days. He should use this knowledge wisely and exploit their weaknesses, although this Deportivo side will be a tough nut to crack. I can't see it being easy. Stan James bet ?Liverpool?.10/11, The Draw?.11/5, and Deportivo?.11/4. Deportivo have had a patchy start to the season, but a couple of wins?one away at Real Madrid?.have boosted their confidence. They are a strong side?well versed in the European arena and will be tough opponents. Deportivo play a very aggressive?in your face style. These aren't a fancy dan outfit. Over on the booking index?Over 46 at 2/1, is a very possible bet considering how physical this could be. So Liverpool are strong favourites. They will have a packed house at Anfield behind them, and their amazing turnaround at Fulham will have buoyed them up?.and also will have taught them a lesson. They won't be sitting back. Harry Kewell is back in the side to add a bit of variation in attack. Still smarting from their loss to Olympiacos they'll be itching to bounce back with a win. But you get the feeling with Benitez's Liverpool that they still aren't quite there yet. The Spanish will sense blood and with the return of Mauro Silva and the boy Duscher, both pivotal players in their team, they could pull off a surprise here. Benitez will need all of his experience to get things right. This game could be very exciting as well. There is a lot of talent on display and we could see goals. It will all depend on the tactics of the managers?.but both will know that wins are essential so they both have nothing to lose in some respects. There's a host of markets at www.stanjames.com and we'll be betting In-Running throughout. This could be a lively encounter so log on during the game and enjoy betting on the action as it happens.
