Tips to Make Profit in Liverpool vs Villarreal Buabook Match Market

With the Champions League semi-finals now over, and the mouthwatering prospect of a second Madrid derby in the space of three years in the final, attentions turn to the Europa League, with the last four in action tonight.

As Liverpool aim to overturn their narrow first leg deficit against Villarreal, attempting to dump out Spanish opposition where so many English sides have failed in Europe recently, there is a way to add even more intrigue to a tie that remains very much in the balance.

Indeed, by signing up to the first player trading platform, with values based on detailed in-play statistics, you can make great profits when backing the right players.

Here we’ll give you tips ahead of tonight’s big game, backing who to buy and sell as Liverpool aim to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat at the Madrigal.

In a game that Liverpool must win, we can expect a typically attacking line-up from the Reds, while Villarreal know that an away goal would leave the hosts with a mountain to climb. Jurgen Klopp’s men have scored at least once in each of their last 10 matches at Anfield but have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 5 at home, with the German’s favoured defensive pairing of Lovren and Sakho now split up due to the latter’s suspension. As a result chances and indeed goals at both ends seem likely, so selling shares in defenders seems the wise move.

However, my tips for the biggest gains in tonight’s match market come in more attacking positions and while I’m backing goals in this one, there may well be profit to be made by selling particular forwards.

For the hosts, Jurgen Klopp has a decision to make having surprisingly left Daniel Sturridge out of the starting XI in the reverse fixture. With Roberto Firmino getting the nod last week and having been rested at the weekend, regardless of whether Sturridge does feature from the off, the Brazilian seems set for another start.

While Firmino has certainly won the faith of his manager with his overall play, buying into Klopp’s high pressing demands, he has been struggling for form of late. With just one goal in his last 8 appearances and a solitary strike in 11 Europa League outings this season, his confidence is not what it was at the start of the year.

As a result I’ll be selling shares in the match market north of £0.60 in the 24-year old tonight, which, provided he fails to register on the scoresheet (worth £1.00) or an assist (£0.60) for the eighth time in 9 games, could herald a strong profit. Selling ten shares at that price would initially cost you just £1.20 courtesy of Buabook’s 20% margin payment, and if Firmino were to end the game with a value of £0.10, for example, you would make a £0.50 on each of your shares, totalling £5.00. Consider carefully though, as if Firmino were to score and end with a value greater than your sell price, your entire stake will be deducted.

As far as the visitors are concerned, they will look to top scorer Cedric Bakambu to carry the threat on the counter, though it’s not something the Frenchman has readily been capable of away from home this season. The impressive forward may have scored 21 goals across the league and Europa League for Villarreal this season but only 6 of those have come from 21 appearances on the road.

The 25-year old will likely be the most traded player for the Yellow Submarine tonight, though I would opt to sell shares in Bakambu north of £0.50, expecting Villarreal to perhaps pose more of a threat from set piece situations.

Deliveries into the box will be a route that Liverpool will also look to exploit, having done so to great effect to overcome the odds and dump out Dortmund on another memorable European night on Merseyside last month. Key to that result, and indeed the Reds’ progression to the final four of the Europa League, was James Milner, who is my top buy tip for tonight.

The England international has his critics but has unquestionably been very effective since Jurgen Klopp’s appointment, particularly at home. The 30-year old has been Liverpool’s strongest provider of goals this season, registering 14 assists across the league and Europa League. With 21 direct goal contributions since his summer move (7 goals to his name), 16 of those have come at Anfield (5 goals and 11 assists).

The hosts are likely to look to get crosses into the box, particularly if the game is still in the balance late in the day, so Milner could be pivotal once more, and if shares were to become available at £0.40, I will definitely be a buyer. As an example, if Milner’s price were to settle at £1.45 - as it did in the Reds’ home fixture with Dortmund having registered two assists (each worth £0.60) - ten shares at that price would herald a £10.50 return. That's over 13 times your original 20% margin stake.

Liverpool may have a lot to do to progress against a resilient Villarreal side, but rest assured the atmosphere should ensure yet another memorable and entertaining night at Anfield. Trading with Buabook on your mobile, tablet or laptop while you watch will no doubt make it even more compelling viewing.
