Liverpool have won all three UEFA Cup/Europa League Finals they have played to date whilst Sevilla are unbeaten in four such finals so one of the sides will lose their proud record in Switzerland and I think that will be the holders.

Great to see that you can earn your first prediction for BetVictor’s Euro 2016 Million Pound Goal campaign for a £5 qualifying bet on the Europa League Final and I think the Reds (7/5) will not only lift the Trophy but do so in 90 minutes.

This is the first time the clubs have ever met, which is something of a surprise, and will be the Reds 12th major European final (eight wins); Adam Lallana has impressed me in recent months and whilst all eyes are likely to be on Phillippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge perhaps Lallana will make the difference.

The England midfielder is 15/4 to find the back of the Sevilla net and I think that might be the value; I also think there will be goals despite the fact that The Reds haven’t scored more than one goal away from Anfield in the Europa League so far this term.

Michael’s recommendation:

Liverpool to win in 90 minutes: 7/5

Adam Lallana to score in 90 minutes: 15/4

Over 2.5 goals: 21/20
