Simon Dalton presents his bet on the friendly match.
It is going to be Liverpool's first friendly game before the new season. The match will take place in the USA to help make European football more popular there. We wouldn't consider Liverpool the favourites in this game. Their new coach, Arne Slot, is missing many key players who are still on holidays after playing in the Euro. The list of absent players is long and includes big names like Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota, and Ibrahima Konate. None of these players will play in the upcoming match. Given this situation, we think Real Betis has a good chance to score at least one goal.
