Best Bet for Everton vs Liverpool

Wednesday night sees the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, and the stakes could not be higher. Liverpool arrive looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, while Everton are determined to spoil the party for their fiercest rivals.

The match was originally scheduled for December but had to be postponed due to an amber weather warning. Since then, Liverpool have maintained their push for the Premier League title, winning six of their last nine league fixtures, including their last three in a row. However, they suffered a shock FA Cup exit at the weekend, losing 1-0 to Plymouth, a result that will have frustrated both fans and manager Arne Slot.

Everton also crashed out of the FA Cup on Saturday, falling to a 2-0 defeat at home against Bournemouth. Before that, though, David Moyes’ men were enjoying a positive spell in the league, putting together three consecutive wins to ease their relegation worries. Goodison Park will be roaring as the Toffees aim to make it back-to-back home wins against Liverpool for the first time since 2010.

Despite Everton’s recent form, the bookies are not giving them much of a chance. Liverpool are heavy favourites at 2/5, while Everton are distant 6/1 underdogs. The Reds will be expected to reassert themselves after their FA Cup embarrassment, but this derby could still have a few surprises in store.

Best Bet: Mohamed Salah to Score First

At BettingTips4You.com, we focus on quality over quantity. Instead of throwing out multiple predictions, we provide a single, well-researched tip for each match—one that we believe offers the best value. For this clash, the standout selection is Mohamed Salah to score first.

Liverpool’s talisman has been in ruthless form this season, and he heads into this fixture with 21 league goals already to his name. Having netted a brace in his last Premier League outing against Bournemouth, Salah is proving to be as clinical as ever. He was rested for the shock FA Cup defeat to Plymouth, meaning he should be fresh and ready to make his mark at Goodison Park.

Everton’s defence, while improved under Moyes, has shown vulnerabilities, particularly against top-class attacking sides. They shipped two goals to Bournemouth at the weekend, and their backline will face an even sterner test against Liverpool’s attack. With the likely absence of Nathan Patterson and uncertainty over Vitalii Mykolenko’s fitness, Everton’s full-back areas could be a major weakness—exactly the type of situation that Salah thrives on.

Additionally, Salah has an excellent personal record in Merseyside derbies. He has scored five goals in his last six meetings with Everton, regularly finding ways to break down their defensive setup. Given his consistency, form, and the defensive issues Everton are dealing with, backing Salah to open the scoring offers strong value.

BettingTips4You.com expert Tyler Morris had this to say:

“Liverpool rely on Mohamed Salah to provide the big moments, and he rarely lets them down. His movement, finishing ability, and knack for stepping up in high-pressure games make him the ideal choice to break the deadlock. Everton’s defence will have their hands full, and I can see Salah capitalising on any mistakes early on.”

With Salah likely to spearhead Liverpool’s attack from the right, his sharpness in front of goal could prove decisive once again. Expect him to take full advantage if Everton’s backline loses concentration, making him the best bet to score first in this crucial clash.

Predicted Score: Everton 0-2 Liverpool

Given recent trends, a 2-0 Liverpool win looks like the most probable outcome. Four of the last five Merseyside derbies have ended with that scoreline, and Liverpool have also won by that margin in two of their last three away league matches. Everton, despite their recent upturn in league form, have struggled against top opposition, losing to Aston Villa and Bournemouth without scoring. With Salah leading the charge and Liverpool’s first-choice side back in action, expect them to return to winning ways in a controlled, professional display.
