FOOTBALL BETTING: Live on ITV4: Thu 19.30: Liverpool host Rabotnicki Skopje in the 2nd leg of the 3rd qualifying round for the Europa League and will have no problems extending a 2-0 aggregate lead.
A weakened Liverpool side cruised to a 2-0 victory against FC Rabotnicki last week and with boss Roy Hodgson now giving game time to some of his more senior players, the Reds shouldn’t have any problems comfortably defeating the Macedonians in the pair’s second leg at Anfield.
Sadly Liverpool are 1/20 (Betdaq) to win and so for punters to cash in, the handicaps are probably the place to head. Therein, William Hill give the visitors a two-goal cushion and Hodgson’s charges are 6/10 to make short work of that. Totesport meanwhile, post 6/1 against a 3-0 home win.
North of the border, Motherwell, at 5/6 (Ladbrokes) can emerge triumphant against Aalesund having come so close to victory in Norway but Hibs may struggle at home to Maribor and don’t appeal at even money with Jaxx.com.
Elsewhere, Sofia pair CSKA (1/2, Betdaq) and Levski (4/7, Paddy Power) can overcome Cliftonville and Kalmar respectively but for those seeking odds-against value; Lausanne, who win the first leg 3-2, are overpriced at 7/4 (Betfred) at home to Danish side Randers FC while FK Qarabag of Azerbaijan are quoted at 5/2 by William Hill to see off Wisla Krakow.
