Gomel v Liverpool FC betting tips - Reds to shade tight encounter

Brendan Rodgers is tipped to win his first game in charge of Liverpool FC (credit: Getty Images)
Brendan Rodgers’ first competitive game as Liverpool manager sees his side installed as 1/3 favourites against Belarus side Gomel.

Much of the pre-match talk has been about the future of striker Andy Carroll and this game will shed no light on the situation, with the £35million man having been left behind with a “groin strain”.

He is not the only forward missing for Liverpool with Craig Bellamy and Luis Suarez both in London 2012 Olympic Games action for Team GB and Uruguay respectively.

However, despite the absentees, Liverpool should have enough to get something out of this early-season encounter.

Match odds

Liverpool are the 1/3 favourites with Ladbrokes to win this clash and it is hard to see beyond a win for Rodgers’ men.

Gomel finished last season third in the Belarusian Premier League but made it to the Europa League qualifying stage by virtue of lifting their domestic cup.

They are 6/1 to get a shock win against Liverpool in this game but have never progressed past the first round of any European competition.

Rodgers’ style of play may take some time to bed in though and if you fancy a bet at slightly longer odds, a punt on the draw at 10/3 may be worth looking into.

Other markets

With Liverpool missing several important players, expect them to keep things tight and not give much away in terms of possession ahead of the second leg.

Backing under 2.5 goals looks worth a punt at 8/11.

Meanwhile, Fabio Borini may be set to make his competitive debut for the Reds and the Italian looks most likely to find the net for the visitors at 6/5.
