One of the many friendly matches this Sunday will take place in Liverpool, where the local Reds will host Spanish side Sevilla at Anfield. Here’s a match prediction from the Dailyports expert team.
Liverpool
Last season, the Reds finished third in the Premier League, falling short in the title race. For a long time, Liverpool kept pace with Manchester City and Arsenal, but at the crucial moment, they began to drop points almost every game, quickly losing their title chances.
Heading into the new season, the Merseysiders have a new head coach, Dutchman Arne Slot. In three preseason friendlies, Liverpool has been undefeated, claiming victories in all. Notably, they defeated Sevilla’s Betis 1-0 in the first match, followed by wins over Arsenal (2-1) and Manchester United (3-0).
Sevilla
The Nervionenses had a disappointing season, finishing a modest 14th in La Liga. They ended the season with a four-game losing streak in the league, leading the club's management to make a coaching change.
Garcia Pimienta, who previously managed Las Palmas, has taken over as head coach. Under his guidance, Sevilla lost to Orlando Pirates (0-2) and Sporting Lisbon (1-2) in early friendlies but bounced back with wins against Al-Ittihad (1-0) and Fulham (2-1).
