🔊 Can PSG knock out Liverpool in the Champions League Round of 16? The team from Paris has gained great momentum and seems ready to challenge Liverpool - one of the tournament favorites. In the first match, which will take place at the "Parc des Princes," bookmakers favor the hosts. However, the difference in odds is quite small, so a close contest can be expected. In such a situation, we will consider different options to make the prediction optimal. It should be noted that the winner of this pair will face either Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the next round, meaning the road to the semifinals is open.

H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Paris Saint-Germain Team Overview
PSG has not lost to anyone for more than three months. Their last defeat was against Bayern in Munich (0:1), and that match included a sending-off for the Parisians. Since then, they have only dropped points a few times in Ligue 1. In January, Luis Enrique's team drew with Reims (1:1) - their only slip-up since the beginning of 2025. For example, PSG easily overcame Brest in the Champions League knockout matches, scoring 10 unanswered goals. One of them was scored by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who became the club's main acquisition in January. Recently, the team emphasized their excellent form by thrashing Lille (4:1). Notably, all goals were scored in the first half. It is worth mentioning that PSG is preparing for the upcoming match with a full squad.

Liverpool FC Team Overview
Liverpool this season looks almost unbeatable. The defeats to PSV in the Champions League and to Plymouth in the FA Cup should be set aside, as the lineup was far from the main one. The only slip in the English Premier League happened in the match against Nottingham Forest (0:1), which converted almost the only chance. Recently, the Merseysiders have lost quite a few points, but they still increased their lead over Arsenal. It seems that nothing can stop them from winning the championship in England. Moreover, in recent matches, Arne Slot's team confidently handled Manchester City (2:0) and Newcastle (2:0). Due to being knocked out of the FA Cup, Liverpool had a rest last weekend, which might positively affect the match against PSG. In the upcoming game, Bradley and Gomez will not play due to injuries, but they are not part of the main squad. Also, Amara Nallo received a red card in the match against PSV; however, he was unlikely to be planned even as a substitute.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Davide Massa (Italy), who has officiated eight Champions League matches this season, including one involving PSG. Under his supervision, PSG defeated Stuttgart (4:1), and the Italian showed only three yellow cards. His average for the season is even lower at 2.38.
Liverpool has the advantage in yellow cards in the Champions League (2.1 against 1.1). Meanwhile, matches involving PSG average 3.3 warnings. Considering the referee's statistics, it's worth considering a bet on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Liverpool shows consistency in attack, scoring in almost every match. At least in the Champions League, they have never left the field without a goal. In 11 of their last 12 matches, the Merseysiders have scored at least two goals. PSG's defense is not flawless, and the goalkeeper position seems the least reliable. Therefore, a bet on Liverpool's total goals over 1.5 looks quite profitable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
PSG has the advantage in corners in the Champions League (6.3 against 4.9). Matches involving these teams average slightly more than nine corners. In 6 of PSG's last 7 games in the current tournament, there were fewer than 11 corner kicks. Therefore, a bet on total corners under 10.5 seems justified.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams are in excellent form. They rarely lose this season, and both unbeaten streaks could very well continue, which would require a draw in Paris, a highly likely outcome. Therefore, we note a potential exact score of 2:2, which was recorded in 2 of Liverpool's last 5 matches.
Mohamed Salah is in great form, possibly playing his last season at Liverpool, and his presence on the field almost guarantees at least one goal. On the other hand, PSG is on a roll, scoring at least two goals in 9 of their last 10 matches. Therefore, we expect a high-scoring encounter and choose total goals over 2.5 as the key bet.
