Liverpool starts their first Premier League campaign post-Jurgen Klopp era with an away match against newly-promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.
Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Betting Tips: AH2 (-1.5)
No matter who is in the manager's chair, Liverpool is seen as the strong favorite to depart Portman Road with both a smile and all three points, so we support them to showcase their power and class through a routine win.
The two sides haven’t faced each other in over two decades, which is not surprising since Ipswich Town secured promotion back to the English top flight last season for the first time after a 22-year wait as runners-up in the Championship.
Their most recent pair of league clashes were one-sided affairs orchesrated by the Reds, who netted 11 unanswered goals during Ipswich's last EPL campaign in 2001-02, so Arne Slott will be confident that his new job will kick off in grand fashion.
Since the Dutch coach took charge, the Merseyside club have shown enviable preseason form by stringing together four straight wins in strong tests against Betis, Arsenal, Man Utd and Sevilla, before wrapping up their preparations with a goalless draw against Las Palmas.
Although they face a baptism of fire on the first day of the new league season, the Tractor Boys welcome it with high spirits they have built up in preparations, having won three of their four summer friendlies, each time taking victory with the same 1-0 scoreline.
However, with their first return after a 22-year absence, we see Kieran McKenna’s team struggling to adapt to life in the top tier, facing difficulties from day one as we expect an attack-minded Liverpool to deal a heavy blow to Ipswich’s defense.
Ipswich Town team news
Ahead of their Premier League return, Ipswich Town will be without Harry Clarke, Nathan Broadhead, and forward George Hirst, who is expected to be replaced by former Manchester City player Liam Delap in the attack.
Before Cameron Humphreys can be approved for Saturday's match, he must pass further tests, while Scottish boss Kieran McKenna is expected to start Jack Taylor and Sam Morsy in midfield due to his strong trust in them.

Liverpool team news
Liverpool kicks off their 2024-25 Premier League campaign nearly at full strength, though Dominik Szoboszlai’s participation remains doubtful due to a minor injury sustained during pre-season.
After recovering from an injury sustained at Euro 2024 earlier this summer, Andrew Robertson is set to be named as the left-back, joining Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, and Virgil van Dijk in the defensive lineup.
