Needing to channel the spirits of their 2018-19 remontada, Liverpool welcome Paris Saint-Germain to a raucous Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
Arne Slot oversaw a 2-0 defeat to the European champions in last week's opening encounter, although the outcome could have been much more disastrous for the Reds, who are not down and out just yet.

Liverpool come into this fixture after mixed recent form, though a 2-0 home win over Fulham offers a timely boost.
Across their last six matches, they have recorded two wins, one draw, and three defeats, scoring an average of 1.33 goals while conceding 1.5 per game.
Notably, only 33% of those matches saw both teams score, highlighting some inconsistency in attacking output. In the Premier League, Liverpool sit fifth, still in contention for Champions League qualification.
At Anfield, however, they remain a formidable force, having lost just once in six European home games this season and scoring freely, including a 4-0 win over Galatasaray.
Team news is slightly concerning, with Curtis Jones likely sidelined due to injury, while Alisson Becker remains doubtful.
Key players such as Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, and Cody Gakpo will be central to any comeback hopes, with young Rio Ngumoha also pushing for involvement after his recent breakthrough performance.
Paris Saint-Germain, in contrast, arrive in excellent form and full control of the tie.
They have won five of their last six matches, averaging an impressive three goals per game while conceding just once on average.
Their attacking efficiency is underlined by an 83% rate of matches going over 2.5 goals. PSG currently dominate Ligue 1 and appear well-balanced across all phases.
Their away form is particularly strong, with four consecutive wins on the road, including a commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea in the previous round.
The Parisians have also kept clean sheets in their last three away fixtures, showcasing defensive solidity.
Squad-wise, they have minimal concerns, with only Fabian Ruiz confirmed absent, while Bradley Barcola could return to boost attacking depth.
Key figures such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, and Achraf Hakimi have been instrumental, combining pace, creativity, and clinical finishing.
Looking at the head-to-head record, PSG hold a slight edge, winning 60% of recent meetings.
The first leg’s 2-0 result continues a trend of relatively controlled encounters, with only 40% of these clashes seeing both teams score.
Liverpool, however, have historically been competitive at Anfield, including a 3-2 victory in a past meeting.
Despite this, PSG’s recent dominance in this fixture, including last season’s win at Anfield, cannot be ignored.
Key Betting Pointers;
- PSG won the first leg 2-0
- Liverpool lost at home to PSG last season
- PSG have won their last five matches
- Liverpool have only won one of their last four games
While Liverpool’s home strength and attacking urgency could make this an entertaining contest, PSG’s superior form, defensive organization, and first-leg advantage position them as favorites. Expect Liverpool to push forward aggressively, which may open spaces for PSG to exploit on the counter.
With the visitors showing consistency and clinical edge, the prediction leans towards a PSG win, potentially accompanied by another high-quality attacking display.
