Liverpool vs Real Madrid Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder double on Tuesday evening from Anfield very much centres around one man in Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The first selection concerning the Liverpool right-back is for him to have Over 0.5 Shots on Target in the game. BoyleSports are a joint-top price on this line at 10/3, with other firms such as Paddy Power and Betfair going considerably shorter at 7/4.
Trent may not has been letting off as many shots in the Premier League as in previous years, but in the Champions League this season he has made five appearances and recorded shot figures of, 2,2,2,1,1.
When it comes to hitting the target in those five European matches this campaign, Trent did so in three of them. We expect this game to have a nice bit of niggle about it, and can envision Liverpool having a couple of free-kicks in dangerous areas, hopefully resulting in Trent hitting the target.
The second half of this double, which takes us up to a very backable 13/2 is for Trent Alexander-Arnold to make Over 2.5 Tackles in the game.
The key angle here is that Trent will be the direct opponent of Vinicius Junior, the most fouled player in La Liga this season, drawing an average of 3.9 per game. With Vini loving to attempt to dribble past players, Trent will need to be at his best, just as he was in the game against Everton last week when he won all five of the tackles he attempted.
Taking a look back at the last eight matches in which Vinicius Junior has started in La Liga and the tackle totals of the right-backs he has been up against read 4,6,8,7,5,7,8,4.
With this selection of Over 2.5 tackles for the right-back he is up against having landed in the last eight league matches, quotes of even money look generous with Boyle Sports.
To recap, combining Trent Alexander-Arnold to register Over 0.5 Shots on Target and him also to record Over 2.5 tackles at 13/2 via the BoyleSports Bet Builder.
