Liverpool v Olympiakos Match Preview

Olympiakos need to an avoid defeat on Wednesday evening at Anfield to be sure of advancing, although should Monaco lose away to the already-eliminated Deportivo, the Greek side will qualify regardless of the outcome against Liverpool.For Liverpool, their position couldn't be any clearer. Win or face UEFA Cup football in the next round instead of a glamour tie with a European giant. It should be noted that the victory must be achieved by winning 1-0 or by a two-goal margin. Should both Liverpool and Monaco win, Olympiakos would be in the UEFA Cup, while if Liverpool win and Monaco draw, the English side will be through to the knockout stage but who joins them will depend on the Reds' margin of victory. As for the chances of Liverpool winning this match, that does seem likely considering Greek teams are not considered the best of travellers. However, at such skinny odds of 4/7, I prefer to look elsewhere on the night for a wager. A bet that does offer some appeal is on Harry Kewell scoring the first goal at a standout 8/1 with Super Odds. The midfielder scored his first goal of the season at Villa Park last Saturday, and according to reports was playing with far more confidence than previously. Looking back at last season, and Kewell would quite often score two goals in two games, go off the boil for a while, and then repeat the two goals in two games. On four occasions did Kewell manage this particular feat. Given the importance of this match, a popular market may be the bookings in anticipation of players doing whatever is necessary to accomplish their aim. While I wouldn't disagree with the possibility of tempers becoming frayed at some point, it is worth mentioning the referee for the game isn't renowned for being too strict. #1 Betfair Bonus £25 Free Bet.#2 Ladbrokes £25 Free Bet.#3 Paddypower Bonus £20 Free Bet.#4 Bwin £20 Bonus. Despite his nationality, Manuel Gonzalez is not your typical Spanish referee and that needs little excuse to flash a card. It is somewhat of a rarity for the La Liga official to produce more than four cards even if the game is somewhat bad tempered.
