Match preview: Fiorentina v Liverpool
Champions League, Tues Sep 29, KO: 7.45
Champions League, Tues Sep 29, KO: 7.45
There was a lot of huffing and puffing as Liverpool laboured to beat a Debrecen side that were a bit better than expected last time. But we got the job done and can just edge a tight game in Florence tonight.
The Italians haven't been firing on all cylinders this season but are unbeaten at home where their defence has been tight. That said, they haven't come up against anyone with Liverpool's class - and have been toppled on the road by Roma and Lyon, two sides you'd fancy us to beat.
The Viola drew two and lost one of their home Champions League group games last season so there's nothing to fear from Adrian Mutu and Co.
Rafa's European record speaks for itself and a repeat of the 1-0 scoreline achieved against Inter on Liverpool's last trip to Italy is on the cards.
So the choice is to back Liverpool to win to nil at 23-10 with Paddy Power or have a bet on the 0-1 scoreline at 6-1 generally with a saver on 0-2 at 8-1 with Paddy. That's what I'm doing.
Looking at the goalscorer markets, this is the kind of game where Dirk Kuyt often pops up and he's worth a look for the first goal at 8-1 with totesport.
SELECTION: Half your stake on Liverpool to win 1-0 (6-1 general) and half on Liverpool to win 2-0 (8-1 Paddy Power)
