Using our selections in a Bet Builder for this evening's match between Liverpool and Toulouse, will equate to odds of around 3/1 on Bet365.

Jurgen Klopp and his team are gearing up for another Europa League clash as they prepare to host Toulouse at Anfield. This encounter marks their first meeting in 16 years.

Liverpool have made a perfect start to life in Europe this term, securing a brace of victories. As a result, they currently occupy the top spot in Group E.

As for visitors Toulouse, they have also shown promise in the competition. The French side sit in second place after securing a win and a draw from their opening two games, and arrive at Anfield brimming with confidence.

This contest poses a potential blip for the Reds, with bookmakers offering minuscule odds on the home team recording a victory.

Nonetheless, with the Frenchmen having less pressure to contend with, Carlos Martinez Novell can afford to let his side play freely at one of the most iconic football stadiums, as he hopes to maintain their unbeaten record.

In a game that might be overlooked due to an anticipated home win being a formality, we've explored football betting sites to create an enticing bet builder for this Europa League encounter.

Half-Time/Full-Time Liverpool

In their previous home match in the Europa League, Liverpool seized the lead just before the break before ultimately emerging as 2-0 winners against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

Jurgen Klopp will want to replicate that performance and results, and we expect the hosts to start the match with high intensity as they move closer to securing a spot in the knockout rounds of the competition.

Liverpool are determined to rectify their past shortcomings in the Europa League, particularly the defeat they suffered in the 2015/16 final against Sevilla. 

A resounding victory over Toulouse could draw attention to them and position them as a formidable contender for this year's competition.

Despite their 2-0 victory over rivals Everton on Saturday, Liverpool's performance left a bit to be desired, with Jurgen Klopp stating they were lucky to not be reduced to 10-men.

With that in mind, we, along with UK betting sites, expect Liverpool to come out strong this evening in an attempt to eventually achieve a comfortable victory that gives them a cushion at the top of the group.
 

Darwin Nunez To Score Or Assist

Darwin Nunez has made a strong start to his 2023/24 Europa League campaign, contributing with a goal and an assist while showcasing his prowess on both the domestic and continental fronts.

Although the frontman didn’t notch last time out in Europe, that can be attributed to his half-time substitution, with boss Klopp making a number of experimental changes - not reflective of his performance.

If Liverpool get off to the quick start we predict, Nunez is likely to be a key part of the attacking trio, that is presumably made up of Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, in which the majority of chances will originate.

Nunez has either scored or provided an assist in his last four appearances for both club and country, and against a inferior Toulouse side, the trend could well possibly continue.

Nunez is more than capable of either setting up his teammates or taking the initiative to score himself should the opportunity arise, and this is reflected in his three goals and three assists he has racked up already this term.

His only goal in this competition came via a penalty. And if the similar situation occurs tonight, it will be interesting to see if Salah steps aside for his South American counterpart to potentially add to his goal tally.

With such an improved impact on the Liverpool sqaud so far this season, it seems a logical choice to opt for this market.

Virgin Van Dijk Over 0.5 Shots On Target

It may come as a surprise inclusion to see a centre-back in make up our trio of selections, when it comes to requiring a shot on target.

But considering Virgil van Dijk has had seven shots in seven Premier League appearances this season, the odds on betting apps for the big Dutchman to muster up a chance tonight are too good to refuse.

While Van Dijk has only scored for the Netherlands national team this season, he hasn't hesitated to venture into the opposition box for his club.

With an average of one shot per game, we expect Virgil van Dijk to position himself well for corners, most likely, and conjure up an effort that could either find the back of the net or force the keeper into a save.

His aerial ability is unquestionable, making him one of the most challenging players to defend against, and given that Liverpool are expected to dominate possession and control the tempo, several opportunities are bound to present themselves.

In their previous match against Everton, the Reds had a total of 12 corners, giving the 32-year-old a dozen opportunities to connect with a cross and a repeat of this against an inferior defence should see the Dutchman emerge with at least one shot on goal.
