Our prediction for the PSV vs Liverpool match
In 2023, PSV brought back Peter Bosz, who immediately won the Supercup upon his return. He then confidently led the team to the Eredivisie title, overtaking Feyenoord. The latter exacted some revenge in the summer by winning in Eindhoven, claiming victory on penalties after a 4-4 draw in regular time. However, in the national league, PSV had minimal slip-ups, and by mid-winter, they had a comfortable lead. Liverpool, on the other hand, concluded the Klopp era with a third-place finish in the Premier League and a League Cup victory. Under the Dutch coach, Slot, they’ve really stepped up, and currently, they are dominating the Premier League without question.
In the Champions League, the Merseyside team displayed a perfect record, even facing top teams like Milan, Bayer, and Real Madrid. The Dutch side started with a loss to Juventus in Turin but then had draws against Sporting and PSG, as well as wins against Girona and Shakhtar Donetsk (whom they were losing to 0-2 until the 87th minute). They only lost in Brest in December.
January began for PSV with a win in Belgrade against Red Star, a narrow 3-1 victory. Salah and company faced Lille and managed to squeeze out a 2-1 win.
