Paris Saint-Germain vs. Liverpool betting picks and predictions

Over 3.5 goals (+130)

Both PSG and Liverpool are firmly on course to win their domestic titles this season and that should bring an extra emphasis to the first leg.

Luis Enrique’s outfit has won 19 of its last 20 matches in all competitions and tied the other, so there is no guarantee that Arne Slot’s Reds will emerge from the meeting in Paris with an advantage for the Anfield return.

It has taken a while for PSG to get into the groove in this year's competition as they were able to earn just one point from their opening three games against PSV Eindhoven, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.

Those results pushed them down the pecking order as they look to secure their first success in this competition, but they have recovered well and blitzed fellow Ligue 1 side Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the playoffs.

A 4-1 win over Lille on Saturday means PSG has won its last 10 matches and will be full of confidence, but we can also expect Liverpool to contribute well to a high-scoring game.

The Reds have won just three of their last nine away games, which is a surprise for a team 13 points clear in the Premier League, but it is worth noting they have scored at least twice in nine of their last 12 road showdowns.

The only game in this competition that Liverpool has lost this season was at PSV when seven previous wins had already ensured a knockout-phase passage, so Slot’s team should be on the front foot, which is good news for those hoping to see plenty of goals at the Parc des Princes.

Ousmane Dembele to score at any time (+150)

For PSG to have any chance of taking something to the return game in England, it seems likely that their striker Ousmane Dembele will have to have a big say in events in Paris this week.

The France forward has scored six goals in this season's competition, having opened his account with a crucial first goal that initiated a memorable comeback from two goals down to beat Manchester City 4-2.

He then went on to score a hat-trick against Stuttgart and then netted twice in the 3-0 win over Brest that gave PSG a stranglehold in the playoffs.

His 13 goals in his last nine Ligue 1 appearances also provide cause for optimism and it is worth backing him to find the net again on Wednesday.

Alexis Mac Allister to be booked (+240)

Although they have beaten Milan, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in this competition already this season, this looks like one of the more competitive games Liverpool have faced in the UEFA Champions League and that could mean there are a few cards brandished.

One player who looks a decent bet to receive one is Reds midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who is one of three Liverpool players who have received six yellow cards in the Premier League this season.

The Argentinian has also been booked four times in seven UEFA Champions League appearances - the Reds won all of those games - and he managed to get away without being cautioned in his last Premier League game against Newcastle despite committing five fouls.

This looks set to be a highly charged evening and it would not be a surprise if Mac Allister went into the book again.
