- Date: Tuesday, 14th April, 2026
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Anfield (Liverpool)
After a 2:0 win for PSG over Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League Quarter-Finals in France, these teams will face off in the second leg in Liverpool. The Reds are coming to the match after finally ending their three-game losing streak by beating Fulham 2:0. Meanwhile, the Parisians did not play this weekend, as the Ligue 1 football association approved their request for extra rest to prepare for the upcoming Champions League game.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Champions League tie.

In the first H2H game, PSG deservedly won 2:0, totally dominating Liverpool. The Parisians had 74% ball possession, 18 goal attempts to Liverpool's three, and 2.35 xG compared to Liverpool's 0.17 xG. Looking further back, these teams met a total of five times - Liverpool won twice, and PSG won three times.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals in two of five H2H games, while both teams scored in the same number of games (two).
Liverpool team overview
Liverpool had high hopes for this season after winning the Premier League last year. Unfortunately, the Reds failed to deliver as they are in 5th place in the Premier League. However, that 5th place will be enough for the Champions League appearance next season, and the Reds are under pressure to stay there or potentially move up to 3rd place, which is three points away. However, their 4:0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup Final and their 2:0 loss to PSG in the first leg of the Champions League prove they are simply not good enough to compete with the very best teams in Europe. Still, maybe they can turn things around at Anfield in the second leg, but we highly doubt it.
Curtis Jones suffered a groin injury in the previous game against Fulham and had to leave the field after only 46 minutes. Coach Arne Slot said that he would be surprised if Jones is ready for the PSG game. Moreover, Alisson, Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Harvey Davies, Wataru Endo, and Giovanni Leoni should remain sidelined with their injuries.

PSG team overview
PSG had a magnificent season last year, winning the treble and their first Champions League title. This season, many football experts believed they are not at last season's level and are much more beatable. However, it seems that as the season progresses, they are only looking better and are looking to be at their best in the final part of the season. Their domination in the past five games across competition against very good competition is proof of that, and we expect them to have another superb year.
In Ligue 1, PSG are almost locked to win the title as they have a four-point advantage over 2nd-placed Lens and have played one game less. Therefore, the bookies see PSG as a clear favorite for the title, offering odds around 1.02 for that bet.
Compared to the previous duel with Liverpool, coach Luis Enrique should have the same squad available. Bradley Barcola, Quentin Ndjantou, and Fabian Ruiz, who missed the first leg, should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Liverpool won the last game 2:0 against Fulham, but weren't as great as the scoreline suggests. And before that win, the Reds had only won against Galatasaray in six matches. They are undoubtedly in a crisis and had especially bad performances against good teams like PSG and Manchester City.
On the other hand, PSG won five in a row while scoring 17 goals - 3.4 per game. They are looking great at the moment and have absolutely dominated Liverpool in the first leg. We highly doubt the Reds can deliver a drastically better performance at Anfield.
Considering the outcome of the first leg and the overall difference in form between these two teams, we believe that the reigning Champions League champs are much closer to winning the upcoming tie.
3 Reasons why PSG should (AH 0) win
- Liverpool lost three of the past four games
- PSG won five in a row with 17 goals scored
- PSG won the first leg 2:0
