Liverpool vs PSG Tips & Predictions - On-fire Dembele can lead PSG to Anfield upset over Liverpool

Somehow, Liverpool bring a 1-0 lead back home despite being comprehensively outplayed in the first leg. Indeed, PSG completely dominated with 72 per cent possession and a whopping 27-2 goal attempts, including 10-1 on target. Ultimately, Allisson kept Liverpool in the game until Harvey Elliott came off the bench to score a late winner.

Nevertheless, those numbers make for grim viewing and Liverpool didn't look much better in the Premier League this past weekend as they needed two penalties to beat last-placed Southampton. PSG meanwhile have only lost one of their last 24 games in all competitions and Ousmane Dembele has been in electric form, scoring 23 goals in his last 18 appearances. I'm backing PSG at the very least to avoid defeat in 90 minutes here, while there's value on offer for the French champions to secure outright victory and Dembele to open the scoring.

These two sides split victories when they squared off in the 2018/19 Champions League group stage. As mentioned, Liverpool escaped with a fortuitous 1-0 win in Paris last week despite having only one shot on target.

There's no doubt Liverpool have been one of the best teams in Europe so far this term, but there's signs that fatigue is starting to creep up on them.

Indeed, the Reds were outplayed by PSG in the first leg and they were once again struggling against rock-bottom Southampton in the Premier League on the weekend.

Arne Slot opted to field a full-strength side for that game and ultimately Liverpool needed two penalties from Mo Salah to come away with the win.

A good omen for Liverpool is that they've progressed from all 37 European ties in which they've won the first leg on the road - but on current form, they will do well to extend that record.

PSG come into this encounter unbeaten in 23 of their last 24 games in all competitions, with their only defeat being that first leg loss to Liverpool.

Ousmane Dembele has been one of the form players on the planet, scoring 20 goals alone in 2025 - including coming off the bench to score twice in stoppage time in PSG's 4-1 win over Rennes in Ligue 1 this past weekend.

Luis Enrique decided to rest a number of key players for that game, so unlike Liverpool, PSG are looking fresh and ready to go for this encounter.

Even though they don't have a great record against English teams, PSG will be buoyed by their current away winning streak, which currently stands at an incredible 13 straight matches.
