Bordeaux have travelled to Merseyside without a win in any of their four Europa League matches this season and NetBet think the French sides’ misery in Europe will continue tonight.

“There is not a big difference between home and away games, we’re usually on the way to playing better at home”.

I think we were the active team in this game.
He said: “I am very happy to have qualified, the team are very happy to have qualified, the club are very happy to be qualified, so you can be very happy!”
He has been linked with a handful of players since his arrival, with many tipping him to raid his former club, Dortmund of some of his former protegees, with Reus and Aubameyang as favourites. “It was more and more hard, which is normal with this result”, the German said.
“We made the second goal, a brilliant goal, so I am fine”.
Liverpool go into tomorrow’s game against Bordeaux knowing that a win will see them progress to the next round of the tournament.
Centre-back Martin Skrtel, though, is a significant doubt because of illness, while playmaker Philippe Coutinho is unavailable due to a hamstring injury he suffered against City at the weekend.
