Liverpool vs Sevilla Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season Friendlies 2024

Anfield eagerly awaits to witness Arne Slot taking the Reds back to glorious days.

Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, has quickly endeared himself to the Anfield faithful, easing the sorrow felt after the departure of their legendary manager, Jurgen Klopp. Slot’s tenure has kicked off in a storybook fashion, with the Reds not only maintaining an unbeaten streak throughout their pre-season campaign but also securing impressive victories.

In their latest encounter, they showcased their attacking prowess by netting three goals against their fierce rivals, Manchester United. Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Konstantinos Tsimikas were the heroes of the night, continuing Liverpool’s tradition of finding the back of the net with regularity against the Red Devils. With their final pre-season fixture against Sevilla looming, the Premier League giants will be eager to maintain their perfect record and enter the new season brimming with confidence.

Sevilla, a club that have consistently found itself in the upper echelons of LaLiga, have endured two consecutive underwhelming seasons. After a disappointing 12th-place finish in the 2022-23 campaign, Sevilla’s struggles continued as they slipped to 14th in the following season, narrowly avoiding relegation. A single additional loss could have condemned them to the second division.

Eager to turn the page and restore their reputation, Sevilla began their pre-season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Al-Ittihad. Their most recent triumph came against Fulham, again by a slim margin. As they prepare to face the English giants Liverpool at Anfield, Sevilla will be determined to cause an upset and gain much-needed momentum ahead of the new season.

While Liverpool may appear to have the upper hand in this friendly fixture, underestimating Sevilla would be unwise. The Spanish side have a rich history of defying expectations and delivering surprising results, particularly in European competitions. This match promises to be a captivating encounter, with Liverpool seeking to conclude their pre-season on a high and Sevilla striving to bolster their morale with a statement victory at Anfield.

Players to watch:

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

When discussing the pantheon of the greatest African footballers in history, Mohamed Salah‘s name is invariably at the forefront. Unquestionably one of the finest players to emerge from the continent, Salah has exemplified unwavering loyalty and dedication to Liverpool for seven seasons. Despite persistent rumours linking him to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad, Salah remains laser-focused on his mission at Anfield.

Throughout his tenure with the Reds, he has been a beacon of consistency, guiding the team through both adversity and triumph. To date, Salah has donned the Liverpool jersey in 250 matches, netting a remarkable 155 goals. His influence extends beyond club football, with over a hundred caps for the Egyptian national team.

Before his iconic spell at Liverpool, Salah’s career saw stints at Chelsea and Roma. His prolificacy in front of goal has earned him the Premier League Golden Boot three times, a testament to his relentless scoring prowess. As Liverpool look to dethrone Manchester City and reclaim the Premier League title, Salah will undoubtedly be a linchpin in Arne Slot’s tactical setup.

Lucas Ocampos (Sevilla)

Standing tall at 6-foot-2, the Argentine winger Lucas Ocampos has been a formidable presence for Sevilla over the past half-decade. His career, marked by versatility and tenacity, includes 151 appearances for the Andalusian club, following impactful spells at Monaco and Marseille.

Ocampos’s contributions were instrumental in Sevilla’s UEFA Europa League triumphs during the 2019-20 and 2022-23 seasons, earning him a well-deserved spot in the UEL Squad of the Season in 2019-20. His knack for rising to the occasion was evident when he scored his debut goal for Argentina in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Germany. Ocampos remains a key figure for Sevilla as they continue to build on their European success and strive for further glory in LaLiga and continental competitions.
