OWEN GIVES SOCCER BETTING FANS HIS TIPS ON EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL
Newcastle legend Michael Owen shared his thoughts on the Europa League final before he flying out to Basel for BT Sports ahead of the final.
The retired footballer turned Pundit is also a BetVictor Ambassador.
The Reds have won all three UEFA Cup/Europa League finals they have played to date whilst their Spanish opposition in Wedneasday’s final are unbeaten on four of such finals so one of the sides will lose their proud record in Switzerland. Owen predicts the Spanish guys will be the one to lose it. The retired player thinks Liverpool will lift the trophy (7/5) and will not only do so but will do it in regular 90 minutes.
This is the first time the clubs are meeting, which is something of a surprise, and will be Liverpool’s 12th major European final (eight wins). Owen says Adam Lallana of Liverpool has impressed him with his performance this season and that whilst all eyes are likely to see Phillippe Coutinho and Daniel Strurridge make the difference in the highly anticipated encounter, he says Lallana will do it for him.
The England Midfielder is 15/4 to find the back of the net in the game according to Owen. He also thinks there would be goals despite the fact that The Reds haven’t scored more than a goal away from Anfield in the Europa League so far this term. Owen’s prediction that Spurs’ fans will not forgive them if they left The Gunners claim second place in the English Premier League, after all the efforts to lift the trophy this season, came through as Spurs’ fans tore their jerseys in anger over the weekend.
Owen recommendations going into this final is Liverpool to win in 90 minutes: 7/5
Adam Lallana to score in 90 minutes: 15/4
Over 2.5 goals: 21/20
