Betting Special: Golden Goal available on Liverpool vs Barcelona

Liverpool have a mountain to climb if they are to reach a second consecutive Champions League final.

Trailing Barcelona 3-0 from the first leg, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino are unavailable for the reverse fixture, only adding to the task awaiting the English side.

William Hill make the Reds 7/5 (2.40) to win at Anfield but Barca have been cut to 17/10 (2.70). The draw is 11/4 (3.75) with the same firm who are running their Golden Goal promotion for Tuesday's clash on Merseyside.

Anyone placing a pre-game bet on the match odds market will see their selection settled as a winner if the team in question score the first goal of the game. Full terms and conditions can be found here.

For example, any Barcelona backers at 17/10 (2.70) would be paid out in cash if the visitors open the scoring, regardless of whether the Catalan giants go on to win the second leg or not.

The maximum pay-out for this promotion is £50 (excluding original stake) and only the first bet placed on the market will count. It's well worth taking those conditions into consideration before getting involved for those looking to maximise the potential return.

With Salah and Firmino ruled out, Liverpool's attacking threat could be significantly blunted, even with the need to push for a high-scoring victory to have any chance of progression.

Despite their key absentees, the Reds have no choice but to push forward and that could leave them vulnerable to a counter attack – a factor that Barcelona will be aware of.

Having already wrapped up the La Liga title, Ernesto Valverde took the opportunity to rest most of his first-choice line-up against Celta Vigo at the weekend including Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi who were both left out of the squad to prepare for the trip to Merseyside.

Given their clinical showing at the Camp Nou, the visitors look the more inviting selection at 17/10 (2.70) given the Golden Goal concession.
