Yep, it was a close one, and I'm glad I didn't go for the boosted odds and choose that Liverpool is going to win both halves.
The 3 points were vital for the side. After having two draws, they had to win a game to maintain the top position in the league.
In the pre-match betting, there wasn’t any difficulty in having to predict a Liverpool win, for real, it’s the result to expect but, when it was live, the whole game changed. Brentford where giving Liverpool the same goal, not hanging back, looking out for means to go forward and when they defend, it was the entire team at the back, making it really difficult for Liverpool penetrate. It made betting on Liverpool a very risky bet but, all that changed with Darwin. He missed a very good header earlier after he came on but, the rest was a response to criticism.
Nottm Forest is up against Southampton today. Nottm has been in good form recently; they have won 4 out of 5 of their last matches while having one draw. I'm not betting today, but if I was to make a bet, I would go for Nottm for sure because it seems they are going to win today's game.
Nottingham Forest is one of the most inform team at the moment and playing a side at the bottom, I don’t know if Southampton would have much of a chance but, it’s my hope that they start getting points real soon. We are already in the second half of the season.
