We’ve arrived at the business end of this season’s UEFA Champions League. PSG won the trophy last spring when destroying Milan in the final.
The French League 1 champs remain in the running, taking a 2-0 aggregate advantage to Anfield ahead of Tuesday’s decider. PSG aim to finish the job, but European nights on Merseyside are nothing if not unpredictable.
Liverpool vs PSG is just one of four huge fixtures from the quarter-finals of the UCL. Elsewhere on Tuesday, Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid looking to overturn a 2-0 defeat in a mouthwatering all-Spanish affair.
Wednesday sees Arsenal host Sporting in London with a 1-0 lead, while Bayern Munich welcome Real Madrid to the Allianz Arena 2-1 ahead.

Liverpool v PSG tips
Both teams to score @ 4/9 (bet365)
Odds courtesy of bet365. Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.
Both teams to score - Yes
I enjoyed two winners from three picks in the first leg, securing a profit from PSG to win at 5/6 and Kvaratskhelia to score at 7/5. The bet that let me down for a full house and a higher return was both teams to score.
The stats show Liverpool managed just three shots at goal all evening, failing to get one on target. PSG recorded 18 shots, with six on target.
The Reds were toothless in Paris, but I expect much better on Merseyside. Arne Slot’s team trail 2-0 on aggregate, meaning they need to win by at least two goals just to stay in the tie.
That’ll force the under-fire boss to be more adventurous. If they are about to go out, Slot, his players and the home support would rather fall on their sword. The locals must play to win.
Looking at how Liverpool have performed at Anfield in this competition, we see they put four past Galatasaray, got six against Qarabag, beat Real Madrid 1-0, and Atletico Madrid 3-2.
Now let’s investigate PSG’s results on the road. They scored three at Stamford Bridge, another three at Monaco, and seven goals at Bayer Leverkusen. Back both teams to score.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 4/9 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Both Liverpool and PSG must score at least one goal each.
Totals - Over 2.5 goals
My second pick for your consideration is another that would’ve lost last week, but another I expect to win on Tuesday.
Add over 2.5 goals to your midweek accumulators, and you’ll make a profit if Liverpool v PSG ends with more than two goals scored by both teams combined. A 2-1 home win pays the same as a 2-2 draw or a 3-0 away win. We fancy goals.
When playing the total goals market, you’re free from the pressure of picking sides. Armchair fans can wager and then cheer every attack.
It’s a value for money bet that’ll increase your enjoyment of this live match. A play on over 2.5 goals took just 53 minutes to land in Liverpool’s previous home match in this competition. That came after they lost the first leg.
Backing over 2.5 goals was settled as a winning bet after an hour when PSG were last on the road in this competition. They breezed past Chelsea in London, thanks to goals from Kvaratskhelia, Barcola, and Mayulu.
The Parisians also found the net when last at Anfield, with Dembele scoring after just 12 minutes. Place your stake on over 2.5 goals.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 4/9 (bet365)
Bet explanation. The match winner or scorers aren’t important here. You need this match to produce three or more goals.
Match winner - PSG
I keep things simple for my third and final bet, settling on the match winner market. After backing PSG to win last week and banking the returns, I’m more than happy to stick with the current European champions.
We’ve made a profit supporting Luis Enrique’s team in this campaign; now they must go and show they are good enough to bank two titles in a row.
The 2-0 scoreline in Paris flattered Liverpool. The result failed to reflect PSG’s dominance on the night. They had plenty more chances to score and should’ve put the tie to bed at the earliest opportunity.
A 2-0 aggregate scoreline offers the locals hope, but PSG can stamp that out early. If PSG score first and go 3-0 up, it’ll knock the wind from the Liverpool fans.
PSG may be the visitors, but they arrive in excellent form, beat Liverpool less than a week ago, and have won their last two meetings with their quarter-final opponents, scoring three goals.
The odds available on PSG show traders expect the champions to defend their lead, but they were far too good for Slot’s side last week, and it’s fair to assume they will be again.
Bet explanation: PSG must beat Liverpool at Anfield to ensure you make a profit from this bet.
