Liverpool vs PSG: Tips, Odds, and Match Preview

Having snatched an unlikely 1:0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg, Liverpool are hoping for a more comfortable game at home, particularly since PSG knows only defeat in their last two visits to Anfield.

As for Les Parisiens, they can only hope that Alisson Becker's charm wore off at Parc des Princes. PSG had nine shots stopped by the Reds keeper, and had their stalwart attackers been more clinical, we'd be looking at a different scenario for the return leg.

Arne Slot's Cookbook

The Reds are flying high at the moment. Filling in the big boots of Jurgen Klopp with aplomb, Arne Slot has them sitting top of the Premier League with odds very much in their favour to win it and a spectacular UCL run so far.

They somehow always find the way. Liverpool's domestic league run is riddled with last-minute victories, and despite having only two shots at goal and the xG (expected goals) of only 0.27, the Reds got the W in Paris.

And given Anfield's status as a fortress for the home side, I just can't see them failing to advance.

Liverpool Injury and Suspension News

Dominik Szoboszlai was substituted early in the Reds' Saturday victory over Southampton but will be in contention for the PSG fixture. Cody Gakpo still remains a doubt, meaning that Luis Diaz will likely be swooping from the left flank. Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are still out.

Was it Just a Blip?

Paris Saint-Germain entered the first leg full of confidence, having cruised through Stade Brestois (10:0 on aggregate) in the qualifying game for the UCL round of 16 and having been one of the most in-form teams in Europe.

The Liverpool game was a shocker in terms of lacking the clinical edge.

PSG probably won't have as many shots (27) this time around, and the likes of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will have to make them count this time.

PSG Injury & Suspension News

PSG will be having a full squad ahead of the match. Moreover, Luis Enrique rested half the first team in their 4:1 hammering of Rennes, and they'll be ready to fire on all cylinders.

Liverpool vs PSG Prediction

It's far from a wrap, but I can't see how PSG can advance to the next round. Liverpool has shown time and again that their attack is good enough to deal with any defence. So, I'd go with Liverpool to win at Anfield, with odds of 2.29 @Playbet.io particularly appealing.

If goals are more your style, Rakebit's 1.49 is a good option for both teams to score. PSG attackers can't have two awful days, and Liverpool always scores at home.
