PSG vs Liverpool Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups - March 5, 2025
One of the Champions League playoff stage matches will be played on Wednesday in Paris, where local PSG will host Liverpool. I suggest betting on goals in this confrontation with good chances of winning.
Match Preview
Having started the group stage unconvincingly, PSG then hit their stride and literally swept away the competition. Luis Enrique's charges secured five consecutive victories, crushing opponents with an aggregate score of 21:3. During this period, the team also managed to deal with another English giant - Manchester City (4:2). The Parisians' attack is operating at the highest level, but there are still questions in defense.
The PSG duel with Brest in the last round went down in history for several reasons. Crushing their opponent away (3:0), the Parisians put on a spectacular show at the Parc des Princes, demolishing the Bretons 7:0. This result became the club's largest victory in European competitions. Moreover, Luis Enrique's team managed to pass the Champions League playoff stage for the first time without conceding a single goal.
The English confidently passed the main stage, demonstrating an impressive streak. Arne Slot's charges started with seven consecutive victories, securing their place in the Round of 16 ahead of schedule. The only defeat in the final round against PSV did not spoil the overall picture, as an experimental lineup took the field.
Even in such a setup, Liverpool managed to breach the opponent's defense twice, scoring at least two goals for the sixth match of the tournament. It is worth noting that the last time the British reached the Champions League quarter-finals was in the 2020/21 season.
Probable Lineups
- PSG: Gianluigi Donnarumma – Nuno Mendes, William Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele
