After a very poor placement in the last season table of the Premier League, Liverpool now had to battle it’s way up in the Europa League preliminaries to this decisive 2 leg confrontation against Turkish side Trabzonspor.
Liverpool had no problem in disposing of Rabotnicki of Macedonia in the previous round with 2-0 victories bot at home and away.
Since that point the Premier League competition got off and Liverpool welcomed Arsenal in a match finished undecided 1-1 at the final whistle, a disappointing result especially when considering that Liverpool had the victory in hand until the 90′ minute when Reina’s own goal coasted them 2 points.
Trabzonspor as a club, has been growing in strength and prestige the past couple of years with the third spot of the Super Lig in 2009 and a 5th spot last season with the Turkish Cup in the bag as well granting them access to the Europa League.
No real international experience for them and with a trip to giants Liverpool their odds in getting a positive result are very small.
My pick: Liverpool to win ( under 2.5 goals )
