Rodgers vs. Liverpool: a fight between EPL leaders
The Fixes’ coach Brendan Rodgers worked with Liverpool between 2012 and 2015, in the 2013/2014 EFL Championship leading the Scouts to the 2nd place. One could say that now Jürgen Klopp is polishing to perfection the project started off by Rodgers. The Irishman has been leading Leicester to new heights since February 26, 2019. The last time the Foxes became champions in 2016, but then (and until the current tournament) never managed to rise above 9th position. However, now Leicester is probably the year’s major sensation and the kind of team that can wear out any opponent. In their stadium, the Foxes have not lost since April 12 (8 wins and 3 draws).
Liverpool should not be scared by that though, as the Power Scousers won two previous away matches in the King Stadium. And in the last 5 matches with this opponent Liverpool had 4 wins and 1 draw. This year, Jürgen Klopp’s players are moving at a champion pace, making it clear already now that the remaining rounds may not be enough for any of the opponents to challenge Liverpool’s leadership in the tournament. Considering that the Foxes are a direct competitor, in this match the Scousers will do everything to get the maximum points.
In the last 5 matches between Liverpool and Leicester both teams have consistently scored, 4 times scoring at least 3 goals between the two. Both to score Yes at 1.57 and Total over 2.5 – with odds of 1.62 in 22Bet line.
