Bet9ja Preview: Liverpool v AS Roma: Expect a tight contest at Anfield

AS Roma will be hoping for a decent result when they travel to Anfield to slug it out with Liverpool in the first leg semi-final of their Uefa Champions League encounter.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s men qualified for this stage of the competition - their first European semi-final in 27 in years -after stunning star-studded Barcelona and will be looking to build on the performance.

However, given the superiority of their hosts on head to head, where the Reds have won two of their four competitive meetings, with one ending in a stalemate, Bet9ja has tagged them as underdogs for this outing at the price of (6.10).

A draw at the end of 90 minutes of action is available at a chunky (4.25) with the same firm.

Having failed to secure a diadem since 2006, Jurgen Klopp’s charges will be looking to bolster their chances of putting the unfortunate record behind them.

They eased into this stage of the tourney following their 5-1 aggregate win over English Premier League rivals Manchester City.

Bearing in mind that they have never lost to the Giallorossi in all their meetings in this competition, they are hot favourites at (1.55) to come out on top in the tie.

Backing both sides to score at (1.65) and for three or more goals to surface in the duel at (1.52) could fetch punters cool profit, given that the Reds have registered 17 goals in their last seven games while the Yellow and Reds boast of eight in four outings.

Edin Dzeko has been involved in six of Roma's last eight away Champions League goals (five goals, one assist). The Bosnia-Herzegovina international is odds on at (2.80) to find the back of the net.

Newly crowned PFA Player of the Year, Mohamed Salah has notched an incredible 41 goals in all competitions this season and will be looking to net against his former club at the price of (1.63) with Bet9ja.
