Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are set to go head-to-head in a Champions League knockout tie that promises to deliver entertainment of the highest order.

Both Teams to Score & Over 3.5 Goals
Expecting a defensive battle in this game would be nothing short of naive. Both PSG and Liverpool thrive on attacking football, and their recent form suggests this encounter will see goals at both ends. The French side have been involved in some high-scoring matches, with at least four goals being scored in nine of their last 14 outings. Meanwhile, Liverpool have been equally prolific, finding the net at least twice in nine of their last 12 away matches.
Neither side is particularly known for parking the bus, and with the firepower on display, an end-to-end contest looks inevitable. Dembélé has been a livewire for PSG, constantly driving at defences, while Salah remains Liverpool’s most dangerous player in front of goal. Add to that the defensive inconsistencies both sides have shown—PSG managing just two clean sheets in their last nine home games, and Liverpool conceding frequently on the road—there’s every reason to believe we’ll see goals flowing.
As BettingTips4You.com expert Tyler Morris puts it:
“With PSG’s blistering attack and Liverpool’s relentless pressing, this game is set up to be an absolute spectacle. Both teams have too much attacking quality to keep it quiet.”
With that in mind, a goal-laden affair seems the most likely outcome, and a 2-2 draw feels like a very realistic scoreline, keeping things wide open ahead of the second leg.

Mohamed Salah To Have 2+ Shots on Target
Liverpool’s Egyptian talisman may not have been at his ruthless best in front of goal in Europe this season, but that hasn’t stopped him from getting plenty of opportunities. In the Champions League, he has been averaging 3.7 shots per game, with 1.4 of those hitting the target. What makes this bet even more appealing is that Salah also sees an additional attempt per game either blocked or striking the woodwork.
Against a PSG defence that has looked shaky at times, Salah will certainly get his chances. He is Liverpool’s go-to man in attack, and whether it’s from open play or cutting in from the right onto his left foot, he is likely to test Gianluigi Donnarumma at least a couple of times. With a game of this magnitude, he will be desperate to make his mark, and given his track record, two shots on target should be well within his reach.

PSG vs Liverpool Ultimate Bet Builder Tip | |
77/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This Bet Builder is based on the attacking strengths of both teams and their defensive vulnerabilities. Goals are expected, with both PSG and Liverpool excelling in attack but struggling for clean sheets. Corners will be plentiful given both sides' crossing and shooting tendencies, while Salah and Dembélé will be key threats in front of goal. |
Over 10.5 Corners
Given how both teams play, corners should come in abundance. PSG love using their width, and they rank among the highest in the Champions League for crosses attempted per game, averaging 18.2 deliveries into the box. At home, that figure increases even further, making it no surprise that they took 11 corners in their victory over Manchester City and 14 against PSV in the group stage.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are no strangers to racking up corner counts themselves. Away from home in Europe, they take an average of 16 shots per game, a figure that directly influences their corner count. In their Premier League travels, 60% of their games have seen at least 11 corners, showing their tendency to force opposition defences into last-ditch clearances.
With both teams expected to play attacking football, forcing plenty of saves, blocks, and deflections, this bet presents excellent value. Given the statistics, the chances of hitting over 10.5 corners look strong.
Ousmane Dembélé To Have 2+ Shots on Target
Dembélé has been one of PSG’s most active attacking players in this season’s Champions League, and his numbers prove it. The French winger has been averaging 4.9 shots per game in Europe, with 1.5 of those efforts testing the goalkeeper. Additionally, he has seen 1.8 attempts per game blocked, showing his constant desire to take on defenders and go for goal.
With his direct dribbling and ability to create chances out of nothing, Dembélé is expected to play a huge role in PSG’s attacking game plan. Liverpool’s defence has shown cracks this season, and if their high line is exposed, Dembélé will be looking to capitalise. Given his shot output so far, two shots on target looks more than achievable.
