Game Preview

After encountering some struggles after the start of the calendar year, PSV is back in the saddle. Though, we can’t say they shined in the past two wins. After beating Crvena Zvezda on the road, 2-3, PSV encountered NAC Breda at home.

That event ended with the same result, with the Dutch champions obtaining three points. Right now, PSV is four steps ahead Ajax, who is second but has a game in hand.

Liverpool lacks one point to finish atop of the Champions League league phase. With a tie here, the Reds will stay out of Barcelona’s reach. Arne Slot’s boys haven’t lost in the previous five events, posting four wins and a tie.

Last weekend, the English powerhouse routinely defeated Ipswich at home, 4-1, keeping its form at a very high level. Mohamed Salah and the boys from the attack are incredible these days, scoring two or more goals in eight of the latest 10 contests Liverpool had.

PSV vs. Liverpool Head-to-Head

Throughout history, PSV and Liverpool met six times. The Reds had five wins, and one game ended with a tie.

PSV vs. Liverpool Prediction

We are pretty sure that the Reds will mix the lineups, but they are still strong even with non-starters on the field. PSV won’t back down; they are ready to play and compete. That is why we picked over 1.5 goals in the second half as our final choice.
