Paris Saint-Germain will play at home in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool. However, the home team's chances of winning are not highly rated as their opponents have shown excellent form since the beginning of the season in all competitions.
PSG vs Liverpool Prediction
PSG have won 10 consecutive matches before hosting Liverpool tonight. The Parc des Princes team has scored 40 goals (an average of 4 goals/match) in the above mentioned matches.
Dembele replaces Kylian Mbappe's role at PSG.
Ousmane Dembele remains a standout performer for PSG, with the Frenchman having scored 26 goals and provided six assists in all competitions this season. The former Barcelona man has scored 12 goals in eight games since the start of 2025.
PSG have had an impressive run of form recently. However, most of their defeats have been against weak opponents. In this season's Champions League, PSG lost all three difficult matches (against Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich). This is also part of the reason why PSG struggled to get into the play-off round.
Consistency throughout the season is the biggest difference between PSG and Liverpool. The English team is at the top of the rankings in both the Premier League and the Champions League. In the last 12 matches, Liverpool has scored at least 2 goals against their opponents in 10 matches.
While PSG have Dembele, Mohamed Salah is Liverpool's main man. Salah's goal contribution statistics even surpass Dembele's. The Egyptian striker - at 32 - scored 30 goals and had 22 assists this season.
Salah is still Liverpool's "locomotive" at the age of 32.
Expected lineup
PSG have a full squad to face Liverpool. Coach Luis Enrique has plenty of options in every position in the squad.
Liverpool have a few injuries, most notably Joe Gomez, but all of manager Arne Slot's key players and preferred starting options are fit.
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola;
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
Prediction PSG vs Liverpool
Opta's supercomputer predicts PSG's odds of winning at 40.5%, which is low for a team playing at home. Liverpool's chances of winning are 34.4%, not much different from their opponents.
