Grazer AK vs Liverpool
10 August 2004
|
| Competition: | |
|
Champions League Third Qualifying Round First Leg |
|
|
| Betting Preview: | |
|
Under old manager Gerrard Houllier, I would have approached this match with caution, with a boring goalless draw a likely result.However, new boss Rafael Benitez is a fan of attacking football and will partner Djibril Cisse up front with Michael Owen for his first competitive match in charge. With Milan Baros also in the squad it is difficult to see how Liverpool will fail to score at least one goal against their Austrian opponents.La Liga winning coach Benitez has instilled discipline into the side, and with a defence featuring Hyypia, Carragher and new signing Josemi, AK will find it difficult to get near the visitors' goal.The Austrians play a brand of defensive football and managed to keep Arsenal's winning margin to a single goal during a friendly. But a similar scoreline tonight will be just fine as far as our betting is concerned. |

| Bet Reaction: | | | A comfortable win but more interestingly, Michael Owen did not feature which could signal the end of his Anfield career. | |
