Arne Slot is already navigating a crisis far earlier than anyone expected, but Europe has at least offered some relief this season.
Tuesday’s visit of PSV therefore feels like an ideal moment for the Reds to begin repairing their confidence, though the Dutch side arrive in superb form and will fancy their chances of asking serious questions of a vulnerable Liverpool defence.

Both Teams to Score
The trends here are simply too strong to ignore. Both teams have scored in each of PSV’s last 10 Champions League matches, a run that includes 22 goals scored and 23 conceded.
Their attacking approach under Peter Bosz is aggressive and fearless, and they have found the net in 16 of their last 17 UCL league-phase games.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are conceding chances at an alarming rate domestically, including six goals across their last two league matches, both heavy defeats. Everything points to goals at both ends.
Tip: Both Teams to Score @ 57/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Liverpool and PSV score at least one goal each.
Over 2.5 Goals
PSV’s last two away games in this competition have averaged over four goals per match, and the Dutch side have developed a habit of scoring late.
Liverpool’s Champions League home matches rarely disappoint either, with the Reds winning their last 13 home league-phase games and regularly contributing heavily to the scoreline.
With both teams pushing aggressively in transition, and with neither looking defensively assured, over 2.5 goals looks well-placed and very likely to land.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals scored in the Liverpool v PSV game.
PSV to score
PSV have scored in ten consecutive Champions League games and their frontline, led by the in-form Ricardo Pepi, who has five goal involvements in his last four UCL matches, is more than capable of exploiting Liverpool’s vulnerabilities.
The Reds have now conceded six goals in their last two Premier League matches and are without several key defenders and midfielders.
Even though Liverpool are favourites at 3/10, their record of conceding in all but one home match across competitions this season suggests PSV have a strong chance of finding the net at least once.
Tip: PSV to score @ 1/2
Bet explanation: This bet wins if PSV scores at least one goal against Liverpool.
