Arne Slot sets his sight on his first victory as Liverpool manager

After missing out on a UCL berth in 2022-23, Jurgen Klopp, in his final season as Liverpool manager, managed to take the Reds back into the topmost division of European club football. The Arne Slot era for Liverpool did not begin in a fairytale manner. The Reds went down to Championship side, Preston North End 1-0 in their previous fixture which was played behind closed doors.

Real Betis, on the other hand, are coming off a convincing 5-1 win over Austria Salzburg. The Green and Whites did not have a memorable last season as they had to make peace with just a Conference League qualifier berth. The Heliopolitanos will be keen on extending their winning streak when they lock horns against Liverpool.

Despite a big list of absentees for Liverpool, the Reds on any given day can pull off an impressive performance. The match is set to be an exciting, jaw-dropping clash as two of the finest sides in Europe face off against each other in Pennsylvania.

Kick-Off:

Saturday, 27 July 2024 at 5 AM ISTLocation: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Form:

Liverpool (in all competitions): L-W-D-W-DReal Betis (in all competitions): W-D-L-D-W

Players to watch:

Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool)

The Hungarian national team captain must be gutted after narrowly missing out on the Round of 16 in the recently concluded Euro 2024. The 2020 Hungarian Golden Ball Winner will look to redeem himself, especially in the absence of their major international key players. Last season, Szoboszlai made 45 appearances for Liverpool and netted 7 goals. He will be a key player for Arne Slot in the next match and the upcoming season ahead.

Nabil Fekir (Real Betis)

The Real Betis captain has spent over half a decade with the Green and Whites. The French international has made 193 appearances for Lyon before plying his trade in the Spanish top division. After signing for Real Betis, Fekir has made a total of 162 appearances and scored 29 goals. The recipient of the Knight of the Legion Honour in 2018 will look forward to unshackling the primal force inside when his side faces off against the Reds.
