Merseyside Derby Set For Fourth Stalemate In A Row?
They couldn't be split in recent clashes and only one point divides them in the table.
Liverpool can’t really justify favouritism as short as 20/23 (BetVictor), the longest odds available, when you consider the resilience of their Merseyside rivals. The draw looks like the best bet again between these two at best odds of 14/5 with Boylesports.
Everton have lost only two of their 22 league games this season, the fewest in the top flight and are unbeaten in seven league outings on the road (W3 D4). Furthermore, the last three derbies have all ended with the spoils being shared.
The Reds and the Blues are only separated by one point in the table and if Rodgers’ boys have the greater firepower then Martinez’s fighters can claim the superior defence. All things considered, the draw has great appeal at the odds on offer.
