What? From the first day you said that Liverpool is going to win the Europa League? I would like to bet against it not because I think they can't win the title, but because the odds are against anyone who says from day one who is going to win the title. I remember that even Manchester City was about to not win the Champions League final in the regular 90 minutes and it was a bit of luck that helped them score that one goal. Situations in a game that nobody can anticipate can have a huge impact.
I understand your perspective about the odds going against the favourites but it is always in the rare cases. Talking about Manchester city, they have been the most unlucky in the champions league. Every season they will be named the best team and yet they will not win the champions league, if not for the last season that the narrative changed.
It is also possible that Liverpool will not win the Europa League because this is football, but a bet that Liverpool will win the Europa League is less risky and likely to happen. So, it is not an insane prediction if someone decides to bet on that.
Of course it is not insanity to bet on Liverpool as the Europa League winner and in fact I would agree that it makes sense to do it early on when someone has a good feeling about it as the odds still make it worth it. This is not meant to be against anyone taking the decision to bet on Liverpool. I am just saying that talking in definitive terms about Liverpool becoming the Europa League even before the group stage ended is naive. France was supposed to win the World Cup, but they didn't. Arsenal was supposed to win the Europa League last season, but they didn't. Manchester City was supposed to win the Champions League in the last five years, but they only did once. That's what I mean.
Intelligible, we can only make assumptions based on their current statistics and performance to guess what will happen in the future. In this case, many predictions are wrong, and indeed we cannot control what should happen in the future. It could be that Liverpool are the favorites at the moment, but who would have thought that in the end Roma would be the champions, that's football.
There is no guarantee that a club will become champions even though in reality they are very tough to beat, we know that the Reds have previously lost to a club like Toulouse in a surprising way. Apart from the above, it all comes back to individual perception, there is nothing wrong if we want to bet on one of the clubs, at least it can make us enjoy the course of the competition.
On the other hand, so far only Laverkusen has been able to record perfect points in four matches without drawing or losing, without getting much attention, the other two teams, Marseille and Atalanta, have also not experienced defeat. It's quite interesting if both of them can make a surprise so far, who knows they will become a stumbling block for the favorite team in the future.
