Cardiff City vs Liverpool - Premier League Preview and Odds

April 21, 2019 16:00pm - Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)

Premier League

The drama of the title race continues as Liverpool look to return to the top of the Premier League before Manchester City play their game in hand against Manchester United on Wednesday night. The Reds face a Cardiff City side fighting for their Premier League survival.

Jurgen Klopp`s men will be full of confidence after their midweek win in Porto sent them into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second season running.

The Reds have won their last eight games in a row in all competitions and are unbeaten in their last 17. Away from home in the league, they have lost just one of their last 17, the 2-1 defeat at Manchester City that could prove to be the decisive result in the title race.

With just four games left to play, the pressure will be mounting as the Anfield club strive to win all their remaining games while hoping that their rivals drop a point or more somewhere along the line.

Hosts, Cardiff City are currently third from bottom in the table but are just three points adrift of 17th-ranked Brighton and Hove Albion, who they beat 2-0 away from home last time out. However, their poor goal difference means they may need to accumulate more points than the South Coast club to survive.

Prior to the win at Brighton, Neil Warnock`s men lost three Premier League matches in a row. On home soil, they have won just two of their last eight with both wins coming against bottom-half sides. Every team in the top eight has left the Cardiff City Stadium with all three points this season.

Betting odds and tips

Cardiff`s home record against the top eight is woeful with zero points gained from seven games so far. Meanwhile, Liverpool are enjoying some of their best form of the season and have their eyes on the biggest prize. However, there is little value in backing them to win.

Mohamed Salah has found the scoring touch again and is available at a best price of 10/11 to score anytime in the match, and that looks the best option in this game.

You can back Salah as Anytime Goalscorer at 10/11.
