Liverpool will travel to Oslo next Wednesday where there will take on Norwegian Eliteserien’s football club Vålerenga at their Ullevaal Stadion.
This will be the Merseysider club’s second-last practice match of their ongoing pre-season, and after this one, they will jet off to Scotland to play Celtic before returning back home for the start of the new Premier League campaign. They’ve had a good pre-season so far, having won all of their five games quite comfortably although almost all their opponents were quite easy too with the exception of their latest victims Olympiacos, who still got beaten 2-0 at Anfield.
If things go according to plan then Valerenga should be no match for the Reds in this one. But as with most Scandinavian countries, Norway’s league is at its full swing too, and so theoretically their players should have a slight fitness advantage. Having said that, however, Liverpool are at the end of their pre-season campaign, and so their fitness levels should be quite high too, which makes this whole ‘fitness’ argument somewhat weak.
Valerenga were recently thrashed 7-0 by the visiting Barcelona, and while coach Brendan Rodgers’ are no Catalans, they can at least secure a multiple goal victory here. They play here, therefore, is to back Liverpool for an outright win with Betmy at a return of 1.60.
