Liverpool v Toulouse

Liverpool vs Toulouse Preview

Liverpool must surely be considered one of the favourites to lift this season's Europa League trophy and The Reds have asserted their authority early on in Group E where they sit top of the table with the maximum six points after their opening two games while Toulouse sit in second spot but two points behind their upcoming hosts on Thursday night.

Liverpool head into Matchday 3 fresh from a solid 2-0 home win against merseyside rivals, Everton, and indeed, Liverpool have produced a rich vein of form in the early stages of this new season as the hosts have suffered just the one defeat out of their opening 12 matches in all competitions.

That one defeat came in the form of a contentious 2-1 loss away from home at Tottenham but nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp's side have also collected nine wins in the process so they will be in confident mood ahead of the visit from Toulouse at Anfield.

And when Liverpool are in good form, the goals usually start flowing as well and this is exactly what has happened as six of these 12 matches have also produced four goals or more and further goals look highly likely here in this Matchday 3 clash too.

Toulouse occupy second place in Group E and the French visitors have made a solid start to their group campaign in the Europa League as they have collected four points from their opening two games, thanks to a 1-1 draw away from home at Union St Gilloise followed by a 1-0 home win against LASK.

This upcoming trip to merseyside though represents Toulouse's toughest test yet in this group and although the French outfit have lost just twice in their last 10 matches overall in all competitions, they have also managed to pick up just two wins as well.

Results away from home in recent times have also raised a few questions as Toulouse have registered just two victories from their previous 11 outings on the road which were wins at Monaco and Nantes, but they also slipped to four defeats as well within this period which does not bode well for a trip to Anfield.

Liverpool v Toulouse Verdict

Liverpool have recorded straightforward victories against LASK 3-1 and Union St Gilloise 2-0 so far in Group E and a third win on the trot looks to be on the cards here on Thursday night.

Toulouse possess considerably less experience than Liverpool on the European stage and this is underlined by the fact that Toulouse have recorded just two away wins from their eight ties on the road in this competition along with failing to keep a clean sheet in these eight away ties as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 3.5 goals @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:

Liverpool win & Over 3.5 goals @ 2.10

Correct score: Liverpool 3-1 @ 10.00
