Liverpool vs PSG Prediction
π Which team will advance to the Champions League quarterfinals? Liverpool has excellent chances, holding a slight advantage and playing at βAnfield.β However, in Paris, they had their worst match of the season, if not considering the result. PSG certainly did not deserve to lose. Therefore, they should not be written off when making a prediction for the return leg. Let's remember that the winner of this matchup is very likely to face Aston Villa in the next round.
Head-to-Head
In the span of three head-to-head matches, Liverpool holds a slight advantage with two wins and one loss. In the 2018/19 season, the opponents met in the group stage of the Champions League. Back then, each side managed to secure a home victory with a minimal difference. Last week, Liverpool achieved success away (1-0), scoring in the 87th minute. Harvey Elliott stood out by sending the ball into the net nearly with his first touch after coming on as a substitute. Meanwhile, PSG dominated but none of their 10 shots on goal reached the target.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Liverpool Team Overview
Liverpool is confidently leading the English Premier League. They have a double-digit lead over their pursuers, so the question of the championship is essentially closed. Last weekend, the team easily defeated Southampton (3:1), although they conceded first. It's surprising that Arne Slot fielded almost the same lineup that played against PSG. The victory was secured by Mohamed Salah, who scored two penalties. He already has 27 goals in the Premier League, but only three in the Champions League. In the upcoming match, Gomez and Bradley will not play due to injuries, which is not a significant loss for Liverpool. Gakpo's participation is in doubt as he missed the last two matches.

Paris Saint-Germain Team Overview
PSG dominates Ligue 1, much like Liverpool in the EPL this season. They are ahead of their nearest pursuers by a similar number of points. However, the team is not slowing down, having thrashed two very solid opponents. Before the match against Liverpool, they outplayed Lille in every aspect (4:1), and recently defeated Rennes with the same scoreline. Notably, Luis Enrique made more rotations than Liverpool. Nevertheless, the key players remain the same - Barcola opened the scoring, and DembΓ©lΓ© scored a brace in stoppage time. The wingers are among the top four scorers in Ligue 1. DembΓ©lΓ©, with 20 goals, even tops the list. It is this French duo that should be relied upon in the return game against Liverpool. It is worth noting that PSG is preparing for it with a full squad.

β½οΈ Goal Prediction
Liverpool miraculously won in Paris, showing impressive conversion. The only shot on goal at the end of the match resulted in a score. Moreover, the team regularly scores in the 2nd half. At home, they have managed to do so in 17 of the last 18 matches. PSG will increasingly open up during the match if the score does not favor them. In such a situation, Liverpool is highly likely to score in the 2nd half.
π© Corner Prediction
In the Champions League, PSG has the advantage in corners (7 versus 4.6). In the first match, they literally overwhelmed Liverpool but did not score. However, the Parisians confidently won in corners (14:2). Matches involving these teams average nearly 10 corner kicks. Therefore, it makes sense to bet on total corners over 9.5, which PSG might achieve on their own.
Editor's Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is Liverpool. At home this season, they have only lost to Nottingham, finding themselves in a similar situation to PSG a week ago. It's clear that the hosts will play according to the scoreline. A minimal advantage suits them perfectly, so it wouldn't be surprising if the second leg ends in a draw, for instance, with a score of 1-1.
PSG was frankly unlucky in their home match. They should have scored, and clearly more than once. They will likely manage to do so at Anfield. On the other hand, Liverpool has scored at least two goals in their last 19 home matches. Therefore, the second leg of the Round of 16 is likely to be more high-scoring. In this situation, as a key bet, we suggest - both teams to score (Yes).
