<h1>Elite Friendly - Liverpool vs Yokohama Marinos Betting Predictions: Reds Favoured for World Challenge Final</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Liverpool take on Yokohama Marinos in the J.League World Challenge Final on Wednesday (21:30 AEST) as they continue their pre-season preparations ahead of the English Premier League season.</p> <p>The Reds will aim to make the most of their tour of Asia this winter as they seek to defend their league title. The tour can provide them with a solid foundation, especially as it features several new players.</p> <p>For Yokohama, they are already the vast majority of their domestic season, although things have not gone swimmingly. In fact, this game has perhaps come at a time when they don’t need it as they continue to battle against relegation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Liverpool vs Yokohama Marinos Betting Preview</h2> <p>Liverpool are coming off the back of a defeat to AC Milan in their last friendly, losing 4-2 to the Italians in Hong Kong. A number of new faces managed to get minutes into their legs, with <strong>Arne Slot</strong> opting to field Florian Wirtz from the beginning before bringing <strong>Giorgi Mamardashvili</strong>, <strong>Jérémie Frimpong</strong>, and <strong>Milos Kerkez</strong> from the bench.</p> <p><strong>Hugo Ekitike</strong> is yet to feature after his big move from Eintracht Frankfurt, but could feature against the Japanese side.<strong> Alexander Isak</strong> continues to be touted with a switch to Anfield, but<strong> Luis Diaz</strong> and <strong>Darwin Nunez</strong> are both expected to leave, with the former appearing to be on the verge of joining FC Bayern Munich.</p> <p>Yokohama don’t have the stars that Liverpool boasts, but they’ll look to give them a challenge at the Nissan Stadium (their home venue).</p> <p><strong>Hideo Ōshima’s </strong>side have hit a good run of form recently, winning the last two consecutive league matches and being unbeaten in their last three. However, they are fighting for their lives in the J1 League as they sit 18th, three points from safety.</p> <p><strong>Sandy Walsh</strong>, <strong>Ryō Miyaichi</strong>, &amp; <strong>Yan </strong>will be hoping to cause the Reds problems and make the game challenging at the very least.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Liverpool vs Yokohama Marinos Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Liverpool will immediately be considered the strong favourites to win this match and become the J.League World Challenge holders this season. It is something that is reflected in the latest Liverpool vs Yokohama Marinos betting odds.</p> <p>Of course, pre-season games can be challenging to predict accurately ahead of the game, as managers typically make changes to their lineups. They use the fixtures as a means of getting minutes into the legs of their stars.</p> <p>Based on previous preseason matches, the Reds have scored two or more goals in each game so far. <strong>Over 2.5 goals</strong> could be a good bet for the English side. Goals have been conceded so far on their tour, but if they stick with Allison, a clean sheet is expected. Perhaps a<strong> 3-0 win</strong> if you’re looking to find extra value in the betting and are confident of landing a ‘<strong>Correct Score</strong>’ bet?</p>
