Reds Can Pass Saints Test
Liverpool's firepower is so immense that it can compensate for defensive frailty most weeks.
Bookies will nearly always give you an appetising price is you can pick the winner in a match where both teams will score. This season, the top team to back in this particular market is surely Liverpool; the Merseysiders are a best price 27/10 (Coral) to beat Southampton (both teams to score) on Saturday night.
Brendan Rodgers’ boys have won 17 times in the league, that’s just one time fewer than the three teams above them. However, only seven of those victories have come with a clean sheet and three of those times were by 1 September. The number of away league victories Liverpool have had to nil in the past six months is precisely one.
The Saints have scored in their last seven league outings but have only taken three points in one of their last seven at St Mary’s. This appears to make this bet look even stronger.
