WhoScored Tipster: The Smart Money in Buabook's Liverpool-City Match Market

After a thoroughly entertaining Capital One Cup final on Sunday, Liverpool and Manchester City have to do it all again as they prepare to meet in the league on Wednesday night. The game promises to be another hard fought affair, with City still gunning for the title and their hosts in the hunt for a European place, able to move within six points of the visitors with a vengeful victory.

Here we will give our tips for the game in Buabook’s match market, with the potential to buy and sell shares in players for real cash. The concept is straightforward. An individual’s match value will rise live in-play based on their statistics.

For example, last night we tipped users to buy shares in Romelu Lukaku for £0.60 or less in the match market against Aston Villa. Things didn’t start well for the Belgian, with his game earnings down to -£0.18 before scoring in the second half, though the £1.00 gained for netting his 17th league goal of the season saw his match value settle at £0.70 at full time.

So where is the smart money in tonight's match market as Liverpool host City?

Simply put, it’s hard to see either defence have an easy night at Anfield. Indeed, the Wembley meeting between the sides at the weekend was the ninth consecutive time that both sides have been on the scoresheet inside 90 minutes.

With a host of injury problems Jurgen Klopp may be forced to field a makeshift centre-back pairing once again. It’s certainly difficult to see Liverpool keeping a clean sheet with Manuel Pellegrini’s men scoring in all 9 of their matches away from home since the turn of the year. As a result I’d suggest selling shares in Reds defenders pre-match and continuing to sell once the game has kicked off.

In terms of individual players worth banking on one need look no further than Sergio Aguero, who had a unusually profligate game in the capital on Sunday. The Argentine found himself in goalscoring positions on numerous occasions but was thwarted by Simon Mignolet, though he’ll be out to put that right at Anfield.

The 27-year old has been in fine form since the turn of the year, scoring 10 goals across 12 appearances in all competitions and registering a further three assists. With a goal worth £1.00 and an assist £0.60, he should be backed to increase his value with Buabook, and I’d buy shares in Aguero in tonight’s match market south of £0.50.

I certainly wouldn't have any great faith in the visitors completing a double over Liverpool in the space of three days given the hosts' quality in attack, in what looks likely to be another tight match. City's defenders won't be on my radar to buy in the match market as a result, with both sides likely to tire in the second half after their demanding weekend meeting, leaving holes for the attacking talent on display to exploit.
