Liverpool vs Toulouse: preview, tips, odds, live stream

Liverpool play their third Europa League game of the season at Anfield against Toulouse of France. A win would take the Reds closer to progressing to the eighth-final stage of the competition. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Liverpool vs Toulouse analysis, preview

Liverpool are in a good frame of mind at the moment, winning the Merseyside derby against Everton 2-0 at the weekend. Both goals were scored by Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has already scored 7 goals this season.

Toulouse, unlike their opponents, have drawn two games in a row and are only 10th in the league. Before that, however, it had 2 wins in a row, so in effect it holds a streak of four games without a loss. They qualified for European competitions last season by winning the French Cup.

Europa League form

Liverpool entered the Europa League as expected. It won both of its opening matches, both by a difference of two goals. Jurgen Klopp’s charges won 3-1 at LASK in Austria and in the second leg they beat Royale Union 2-0 at home.

Toulouse started the group stage with a 1-1 draw at the Belgian side. Gabriel Suazo scored the only goal for LASK in the 31st minute. With 4 points they are currently in 2nd place.

Players to watch

Darwin Nuñez, who made his mark against Brazil during the national break, was the standout of the home team. He has already scored 1+1 in the Europa League and he is the one who keeps the opponents’ defences most busy. The only question is whether the Uruguayan will start, as Klopp may decide to spare some players.

The threat for the English team is mainly Frank Magri. The Cameroonian striker has already scored 3 goals in Ligue 1. He hasn’t made his mark on the European stage yet and that will undoubtedly be his biggest motivation.
