Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool thought they would be rewarded with an easier tie after finishing top of the new-look League Phase, but instead take on a side in scary form.
PSG beat Brest 10-0 on aggregate in their play-off tie and are on a streak of 10 straight victories in all competitions – a run in which Luis Enrique’s side have scored 40 goals!
So Arne Slot and his coaching staff will be well aware of the threat possessed by the home side, particularly Ligue 1 top scorer Ousmane Dembele, who has already netted six times in this season’s Champions League.
However, Liverpool arrive in Paris with confidence levels high after back-to-back 2-0 wins in the Premier League, over Manchester City and Newcastle respectively.
Mohamed Salah is showing no signs of slowing down either as he continues his march towards a maiden Ballon d’Or award.
But while Dembele vs Salah is the headline battle, there are so many other star names in superb form in the build up to this fixture.
Achraf Hakimi, Joao Neves and Bradley Barcola are shining in Paris, while Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai continue to deliver the goods for Liverpool.
The Reds may also take comfort from past impressive displays on the road in the Champions League, previously beating AC Milan and RB Leipzig away from home, as well as defeating Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid at Anfield.
These two sides last met at the Parc des Princes in November 2018, with PSG winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Juan Bernat and Neymar.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool Odds
*All odds are subject to change
In-form hosts PSG are actually the slight favourites here at odds of 2.40. Liverpool are priced at 2.65 to claim a crucial away victory, while the draw is 3.70.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Ousmane Dembele to score anytime @ 3.50
Dembele’s form at the moment is rather frightening, with the ambidextrous Frenchman finally fulfilling his enormous potential. With 18 goals in 22 Ligue 1 matches, we are backing him to strike again vs Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah to score anytime @ 2.63
Salah has 25 goals in the Premier League this term, although has only struck three times in the Champions League. But the Egyptian lives for the big occasions and matches do not come bigger than this, hence why we are tipping the Reds forward to get on the scoresheet in Paris.
Over 4.5 goals in the match @ 3.65
This tie has ‘Champions League classic’ written all over it. If either team strikes early in Paris, we could be in for a goal-filled match that has us all gripped. Goals, goals and more goals please!
