Have taken Liverpool -2.5 at 2.10 with
Betdaq.
Last week was TNS's "cup final", packed Anfield, once in a lifetime event etc. A bit more down market tonight and maybe their players won't be as "up for it". For Liverpool its another step to match fitness and they will no doubt use it as a good workout, will be looking to knock the ball about and pick up match sharpness. That could be trouble for TNS who have no chance of matching the speed and skill of Pool.
It will be a difficult game for TNS physically and mentally as they will not be used to the level of movement that they face tonight. They will also be spending long periods of time without the ball and chasing it all over the park. You can only keep that effort up for so long and without the adrenaline of playing at a packed Anfield I can see them struggling much sooner than last week.
It should have been 6+ last week and would have been bar some poor finishing from Morientes and the keepers game of his life. Can see it being 5+ possibly tonight if Liverpool push for 90 minutes and the tired legs hit TNS early on.
