Debrecen vs Liverpool Match Preview
Liverpool, almost dead and buried. The Europa League to be their ultimate destination?
Four points and only three goals out of four games create Liverpool’s worst record in the UEFA Champions League since decades.
On Wednesday evening, the Merseyside Reds will not only have to beat Debrecen to save their European dreams from fading away.
As things stands, Liverpool’s fate is mostly in the hands of Italy’s Fiorentina and this means that the Reds will need Lyon to complete the double against La Viola.
Liverpool might blame their miserable situation in Europe on the club’s injury crisis and on other several things.
However, the reality is that they are almost out of the Champions League and only a ‘miracle’ will help them to fulfill their dream of staying alive in the continent’s most prestigious club competition.
Debrecen might not cause a lot of trouble to Liverpool and the Reds could easily clinch a victory. But will those three points be meaningful?
After conceding Lisandro Lopez’s late, late equalizer the last time out, Liverpool find themselves five points behind Fiorentina who are on nine points. Lyon have already qualified.
Liverpool’s next two games are a must win but if the result between Lyon and Fiorentina do not go their way, then the Reds will be assured of one thing only: no tickets for the next stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The most alarming thing is that mathematically Liverpool could even miss out from qualifying for the Europa League. This will only happen if they lose their last two matches and if Debrecen make a giant killing of Lyon in France in their last game.
On Tuesday evening, Rafael Benitez’s men will try to contain their spirits and concentrate on beating Debrecen at all cost.
The fear of crushing out no matter the result could bring Liverpool’s winning drive down and this is something which they’ll definitely not need.
Perhaps, Debrecen will succeed in overturning the narrow 1-0 that they suffered at Anfield when they host the five-time UEFA Champions League winners on Tuesday night.
Should match-day 5 present any negative outcome for Liverpool, then Rafael Benitez's future at the club could be over just like the Red's European dreams.
