Liverpool vs Sevilla Prediction
The Reds have enjoyed a great run in the pre-season thus far, scoring six goals while conceding just once in three games. They will play for the first friendly at home and will look to leave a good account of themselves.
Arne Slot has utilized his squad well throughout these friendlies and is likely to field a strong squad in his first game in front of home supporters. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, Darwin Nunez, and Virgil van Dijk have all joined the training camp and are in contention to start.
Palanganas have bounced back well from consecutive losses in their first two friendlies and are currently on a two-game winning run. They have an unbeaten record against the hosts and will look to keep that streak alive.
New signing Kelechi Iheanacho completed his first training session with the team earlier this week and is an option for this match. Romero, who bagged a brace on Monday, is struggling with an illness and is a doubt.
The Reds have been in great form throughout the summer and will look to sign off with a win at home in their final open-to-public friendly. Considering their home advantage, we back the Premier League giants to register a comfortable win.
