Liverpool hosts Manchester City in a Matchweek 6 Premier League clash. The big derby takes place this Sunday, October 11, at 16:30 at Anfield.
PSG host Liverpool in the first 1/4-final clash between the two teams in the Champions League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 8, at 20:00 UK Time at the Parc des Princes.
Form of both teams
PSG is in excellent form: 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 10 matches, so they enter as favorites for success on Wednesday. They are especially impressive in the Champions League, where they defeated Chelsea with an aggregate score of 8:2 (5:2 and 3:0) in the 1/8-finals. Luis Enrique's team plays fast and attacking football, creating many positions and converting with high efficiency. At home, the Parisians are also stable, as in their last match in front of their fans they defeated Toulouse 3:1 in the French championship.
Liverpool's squad has been more inconsistent in recent weeks. Despite a convincing 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, the team has suffered a couple of disappointing losses - 0-4 to Manchester City in the FA Cup and 1-2 to Brighton in the Premier League. This raises questions about the team's stability, especially in defence. The last defeat was against the Guardiola's team at the Etihad Stadium and now Arne Slott's team is once again visiting a strong team and the question is whether they will improve their game.
Prediction for PSG - Liverpool
I think it will be a dynamic and open match. PSG will try to control the tempo and use their home advantage, while Liverpool will rely on high pressing and quick counterattacks. Both teams like to play offensively, which suggests a spectacular match with chances in front of both goals. At the moment, PSG's team looks more confident and stable at the moment, while Liverpool is not finding consistency. My prediction for this match is a victory for PSG, who are performing strongly in Europe.
