Liverpool vs PSV prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - November 26, 2025
One of the standout fixtures of Matchday 5 in the Champions League group stage will take place on Wednesday, November 26, at Anfield in Liverpool, where the hosts will face off against PSV Eindhoven. Here’s a breakdown of the matchup and a betting tip with high potential for success.
Match preview
Liverpool are currently enduring a serious slump in form: the team has suffered back-to-back 0-3 defeats in the Premier League, including a humiliating loss to Nottingham Forest. Outside of the Champions League, the outlook is grim—the defense is falling apart, the key flanks are understaffed, and attacking stars like Salah and Isak have failed to meet expectations. The Reds have slipped to 11th in the Premier League, and any talk of retaining their title is off the table. At this point, qualifying for European competition would be an achievement in itself.
However, things look brighter in the Champions League: three wins from four matches have kept Liverpool in the direct qualification zone for the knockout stage. Anfield remains a fortress, with 16 straight group stage home wins. Still, squad issues—such as Szoboszlai being forced to play at right-back—could become telling against an attack-minded opponent.
PSV enter this clash on a much more confident run: unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions, including a resounding 6-2 victory over Napoli. Despite an imperfect group stage record (one loss, two draws, one win), Peter Bosz’s side look cohesive, aggressive, and productive in attack. PSV’s style is risky but entertaining: nine goals scored, seven conceded—just in four rounds.
Given Liverpool’s problems, PSV can approach this game with confidence. The Dutch side’s Til, Saibari, and Pepi are in fine form and consistently involved in goals. Despite a poor historical record against English teams (just one win in 14 matches), Liverpool seem vulnerable right now, and the odds of PSV taking points from Anfield are higher than ever.
Probable line-ups
- Liverpool: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo
- PSV: Kovar, Dest, Gasiorowski, Schouten, Salah-Eddine, Junior, Veerman, Man, Saibari, Perisic, Til
Match facts and head-to-head
- Liverpool have won all three home matches against PSV in their history.
- PSV have lost just once in their last 11 matches in all competitions.
- Liverpool have scored at least two goals in three of their four Champions League matches this season.
Prediction
Given Liverpool’s inconsistency and PSV’s aggressive approach, this game promises to be high-scoring and tense. Despite Liverpool’s status as favorites, the hosts hardly look reliable, and the visitors might well take advantage. The best bet here is “Both teams to score” at odds of 1.60.
