| Market | Selection | Odds (Approx.) |
| Match Result | Draw (X) | 3.65 |
| Both Teams to Score | Yes | 1.55 |
| Anytime Scorer | Hugo Ekitiké | 2.75 |
| Value Bet | Brighton Double Chance (1X) | 1.78 |
The Safe Bet: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Even without Salah, Liverpool’s attack (Wirtz, Ekitiké) is lethal. However, their defense has been leaky on the road, and Brighton has scored in 14 of their last 15 home games.
The “Value” Prediction: Brighton 2-2 Liverpool
Liverpool’s midweek exertions and the loss of Alisson/Salah make them vulnerable. Brighton is a “bogey team” for the Reds, and a high-scoring draw offers excellent value at 20Bet.
