ALEX CROOK PREVIEW: Champions League Wednesday

Star Sports football ambassador ALEX CROOK previews Manchester City’s clash with Sparta Prague and Liverpool’s trip to RB Leipzig in the Champions League…

Liverpool will touch down in Germany for the Jurgen Klopp derby in buoyant mood after coming through their tough examination with Chelsea on Sunday with flying colours.

Curtis Jones’s second half strike proved decisive as the Reds came out 2-1 victors to make it ten wins from 11 games in charge in all competitions for Arne Slot.

Two of those victories have come in the Champions League and this feels like a good opportunity for the Premier League pace-setters – 5/6 favourites with starsports.bet – to make it three in a row.

Klopp’s recent appointment as Red Bull’s global head of soccer (football to you and me) adds an interesting sub-plot to the occasion, but while Leipzig are going well in the Bundesliga they are yet to pick up a point in Europe this season.

Liverpool also won both previous meetings between the pair, with the in-form Mo Salah netting home and away back in 2021.

Doubling up Salah to score first and Liverpool to win returns 5.81/1 with starsports.bet.

Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko is undoubtedly the home side’s dangerman having scored all three of their Champions League goals so far this season.

He will also be keen to catch the eye of his many Premier League suitors so Sesko to score at any time at 11/5 with starsports.bet is worth a small play.

Champions City certainly did not have things all their own way at Molineux on Saturday when, not for the first time this season, they were reliant on a last-gasp John Stones goal to beat spirited Wolves 2-1.

Their clash at home to Czech outfit Sparta Prague simply has to be a lot more straightforward for Pep Guardiola’s side, but I would still have question marks about the home defence.

After playing 12 games in all competitions this season, they have recorded only three clean sheets while their visitors have only fired one blank in their last 27 matches.,

While Pep’s men, unbeaten in their last 32 home European games, are too short to be backing solely to win a City victory with both teams scoring at 21/10 with starsports.bet is appealing.

It has been a frustrating season so far for City’s Player of last Year Phil Foden as he has struggled to get regular playing time in the Premier League.

Foden did make the most of a rare start in the 4-0 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava on matchday two and can pick up where he left off in Slovakia.

Foden to score the first goal is 7/2 with starsports.bet.
