Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips

Liverpool will host Como at Anfield on Thursday evening in their final pre-season fixture under Andoni Iraola. The two teams will also meet behind closed doors earlier that day as part of a unique double-header.

Team Analysis:
Liverpool have scored 18 goals across four pre-season games but suffered defensive problems in recent losses to Leeds United and Monaco, with Ronald Araujo set to strengthen the backline. Como remain unbeaten in pre-season under Cesc Fabregas, recording two wins and three draws while scoring 10 goals and conceding seven.

Player Situation:
Liverpool remain without several injured players, including Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni, Jayden Danns, Hugo Ekitike and Conor Bradley, while Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister have returned to training. Ronald Araujo is expected to feature alongside Virgil van Dijk, while Como could welcome Nico Paz and are likely to start Anastasios Douvikas up front.

Result Prediction:
Both Liverpool and Como are expected to keep their key players fresh during the earlier closed-door meeting before fielding stronger lineups in the evening. Liverpool should have enough attacking quality to edge a high-scoring final pre-season clash.

Predicted Result: Liverpool 2-1 Como.
