Bet of the Day

Liverpool to beat Aston Villa @ 8/11 

Liverpool’s title hopes are over with Man City and Arsenal left to do battle for the Premier League but there is no prospect of any side catching the Reds in third place. 

However, that doesn’t mean that the motivation of the Merseyside men will drop at Aston Villa, who are fourth, and Liverpool look an excellent bet to take three points at Villa Park.

The Reds have just two games left with Jurgen Klopp in charge of the club and they will not want the fantastic reign of the German to end with a whimper. 

That aside, Liverpool were excellent when hitting 25 shots and beating Tottenham 4-2 last time out and the Reds have enjoyed a free week to prepare for Monday night’s clash.

Villa were beaten by Olympiakos in an energy-sapping Europa Conference League clash on Thursday night and Unai Emery’s men have failed to win any of their last four matches. 

At 8/11, Liverpool look Monday night bankers. 

Special of the day 

Monza to beat Fiorentina @ 9/2

Fiorentina played well to beat Club Brugge in the Conference League on Thursday night, but the Viola took 85 minutes to break the Belgians down and that 1-0 victory may have left a mark. 

Vincenzo Italiano’s men have scored more than one goal in only three of their last 12 fixtures and Monza could frustrate a jaded Fiorentina side. 

The Biancorossi have beaten Milan and held Napoli and Lazio this season and they look capable of outrunning their odds at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.

Longshot of the day 

Over 2.5 goals in Barcelona v Sociedad @ 5/6

Barcelona were beaten 4-2 at Girona last time out and there could be more goals when Sociedad visit.

That 4-2 defeat followed a 4-2 victory over Valencia, a 3-2 loss to Real Madrid and 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSG and Barca’s performances have certainly lost some solidity and structure as the season draws to a close.

Sociedad are good enough to find the net against Xavi’s men, but not without being vulnerable themselves and backing over 2.5 goals looks a solid play.
