Our Top Independiente Valle vs Liverpool Prediction and Betting Tips
Independiente Valle & Under 3.5 Goals
In matchday 1 we saw how vulnerable the Uruguayan team’s defence is, so it is likely that the coach will reinforce this healthy one and sacrifice a bit of attacking play in order not to get beaten. The Ecuadorian team is stronger when playing at home. Taking those facts into account, our Independiente Valle vs Liverpool prediction is that the host will win and there will be few goals in the final score.
Both Teams to Score – No
Liverpool finished their first Copa Libertadores match without scoring a single goal, so it was no use playing at home with the support of their fans. This time, the Uruguayan team will be visiting a hostile ground, so expect them not to put the ball in the net on this occasion, their attacking power usually diminishes against teams that look superior.
Independiente Valle to Score First in 1st Half
Looking at the characteristics and previous results of both Independiente Valle vs Liverpool line ups, we expect the home team to be the first to get on the scoreboard from the first half. Liverpool already conceded an early goal in their last match against Corinthians.
An Ideal Independiente Valle vs Liverpool Review
Independiente Valle
Martin Anselmi’s side was unable to pick up any points away from Argentinos Juniors. Independiente Valle tried to keep their defence solid but conceded the first goal in the first few minutes. Goalkeeper Moises Ramirez prevented the goal difference from widening, after finishing the match with a total of six saves, including a penalty in the second half. The team will be looking for their first points of the season to move away from the lead.
Liverpool
The Uruguayan side had a day to forget on the opening day, losing to Corinthians. After conceding a first-half goal, Liverpool were unable to equalise, in fact conceding two more goals. Jorge Bava’s side was at least able to pick up points in the local league, although they are in sixth place there, some way off the top. The Uruguayan team must take three points, otherwise, it would be opening the possibility of one of the first teams to be eliminated.
