S.P.Read Esq: Liverpool v Rubin Kazan

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Europa League 8.05pm game on Thursday between LIVERPOOL v RUBIN KAZAN and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

The Liverpool welcome to Jurgen Klopp has so far been very friendly and embracing but the pressure on the German is cranked up a little tonight for his first Anfield game and it’s a match that Liverpool are expected to win easily if the odds are to be believed.

Rubin Kazan are bottom of Group B and Liverpool will be fully expected to record their first Europa League victory having drawn both games so far.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge remains injured and misses the match. Klopp hopes the 26-year-old is available for Sunday’s home league game against Southampton. He said: “Sturridge is getting better and better,” he said. “Yesterday he was outside for the first time since Saturday. It was OK and the target for him is Sunday, for sure. That’s what we’ll try to do.”
