Lacklustre Liverpool head Europa League betting

The Reds lost their ninth Premier League game of the season against lowly Wigan on Monday evening.

Second favourites in the betting are Juventus – another big name currently going through the doldrums – at 7/1. Next up is La Liga’s third placed side, Valencia, at 8/1, followed by Portugal’s Benfica at 10/1 and Hamburg at 11/1.

German contenders Werder Bremen are 14/1 to win the competition, as are Spain’s Athletic Madrid. Marseilles, Wolfsburg and Rubin Kazan can all be backed at 16/1.

Lille, Liverpool’s opponents tonight, are 33/1 to lift the trophy, with Anderlecht and Standard Liege rank outsiders at 40/1 and 50/1 respectively.
