Liverpool must now do it the hard way if they are to salvage their season with a trophy as they take on holders Paris St Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals. Europe is the last chance of success for the Reds after surrendering their Premier League title with barely a shot fired before seeing their FA Cup challenge ended by a 4-0 mauling at Manchester City on Saturday.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk accused his side of giving up in that match, and a similar performance in Paris on Wednesday would almost certainly give the Reds too much of a mountain to climb at Anfield .
PSG eliminated three English clubs, including Liverpool , in the knockout stages last season en route to their maiden Champions League title, and it could well be a similar story this time around. Luis Enrique’s side thrashed Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the last 16 and, if they overcome Liverpool again, could yet meet Arsenal in the final.
We think PSG will take a lead to Liverpool for the second leg, but expect the Reds to still be in contention, so our opening Paris St Germain vs Liverpool prediction is a home win with BTTS @ 2/1.

PSG warmed up for the visit of Liverpool with a 3-1 win over Toulouse on Friday night, with Goncalo Ramos netting a late clincher following Ousmane Dembele’s first-half brace. That was a fourth successive win in all competitions, during which run they have scored 15 goals, so Liverpool’s creaking defence is set for another major examination.
However, PSG only scored once in 210 minutes of action against Liverpool in last season’s round of 16 before winning on penalties, so Arne Slot’s men can take confidence from that. Dembele was PSG’s goalscorer at Anfield and, with nine goals for his club since the turn of the year, he could be a big threat to the Reds .
Looking at the Paris St Germain vs Liverpool odds , the France forward is 4/1 to open the scoring at the Parc des Princes or 30/1 to score the only goal. Super sub Ramos is 11/10 to net at any time, while you can get 15/2 for wing wizard Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to match the brace he got against Chelsea in the last round.
Liverpool Form Guide
The international break did little to change Liverpool’s fortunes, and they travel to France having now lost four of their last seven games in all competitions, with just two wins. Saturday’s heavy quarter-final defeat at the Etihad ended their FA Cup hopes and followed a 2-1 reverse at Brighton , which left them five points off the top four in the Premier League .
That means the Champions League is their last chance of a positive end to a disappointing season, but with PSG and one of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich blocking their route to the final, it is a tall order for the out-of-form Reds .
They are 16/1 to match last season’s 1-0 win in Paris , but a better option this week might be for them to win either half @ 6/4, which completes our Paris St Germain vs Liverpool betting tips.
