Fenerbahce vs Liverpool: Why to back Alexis Mac Allister to Score at 4/1 in Champions League clash

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday in the Champions League, with the Reds set to travel to face Fenerbahce at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

After losing against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, Andoni Iraola will be desperate for his side to bounce back with a convincing win.

However, former Reds player Dirk Kuyt will be in the home dugout, and he is sure to make the game as difficult as possible on Wednesday.

Despite the fact an away trip to Fenerbahce is never easy, bet365 have priced a Liverpool win favourably at 8/15 (1.53).

A victory would represent the visitors' fourth in four Champions League games this season, and that would be an immense start to the campaign.
