Odds on Napoli Against Liverpool In Europe

Liverpool will face the Italian team Napoli on Thursday 21st October and will once more have the bookmakers against them as their dour season continues. While often the champions in Europe, Liverpool are currently tagged the underdogs as they head for the Mediterranean in search of a positive result.

Their opening fixture gave them a win against Bucharest, but then continued with a poor quality 0-0 draw at Utrecht. In a complete turnaround from their Premier season, the Anfield faithful now see Liverpool at the top of Europa League group K.

The match is of extra value as Napoli are currently in second place, and an away win for the Reds will give them a five point advantage. Hodgeson, having coached at Inter Milan in the past, is well aware of the Italian game and has faced the Campagnia team on six occasions, grinding out a draw in their previous meeting. After all the pressure Hodgeson has been under of late, a victory would represent a considerable turnaround in fortunes.

Napoli are the bookmakers favourite for this contest, with betting odds of a draw currently at 5/4 and 12/5. Liverpool have been given a 5/2 chance of returning to Merseyside with all three points and salvaging some pride.

Anyone who fancies placing a bet on who will score in this deciding match can find anytime odds of 13/8 on Fernando Torres, 2/1 on Edison Calvani, and 9/4 on Ezequiel Lavezzi.
