Liverpool vs PSG: Team News and Expert Analysis
Slot, in his first year working in England, immediately claimed the main domestic trophy by confidently winning the Premier League. But now, they can aspire to nothing higher than fourth place, and even in that race, the reigning champions do not look like the favorites. In the cup, they were heavily beaten by Manchester City as early as April. The French side, meanwhile, won every possible trophy in 2025, including finally clinching the Champions League, and only lost to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup in the summer. However, their usual domestic dominance has faded. They were knocked out early by Paris in the cup, and in Ligue 1, they are struggling to hold off Lens for the top spot.
Liverpool have looked good in the Champions League. Yes, there were a couple of defeats in the main round, but six wins allowed them to finish third. Thus, the team went directly into the round of 16—and again, for the second time in one edition, lost in Istanbul. However, regrouping, they left Galatasaray with no chance at home.
Luis Enrique's side did not particularly impress in the main stage—they managed to beat Barcelona away but lost to Sporting. As a result, they had to play as early as February, and things were not easy against Monaco: trailing away, they snatched a 3-2 win and later settled for a draw at home. But they got revenge on Chelsea for the summer defeat, winning very confidently both times. Then they netted a couple of unanswered goals against their current opponent.
Our Prediction
In last H2H games the score was even: in both 2018 and a year ago, the clubs exchanged victories. However, in this game Paris Saint-Germain look likely to score at least two goals. They’ve been in great attacking form, hitting 2+ goals in their last five matches. Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia are creating chances constantly. Liverpool FC have looked shaky at the back lately, so PSG should get their goals. Overall, the French side is clearly in better form — we back them with a handicap of "0" (pre match odds – 1.92).
