Liverpool hugely backed to beat PSG as Neymar and Mbappe pick up injuries.
In one of the most eagerly awaited Champions League games this season, Liverpool take on PSG and the Reds are being backed by three-quarters of all bets, as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both picked up injuries playing for their countries.
In games against Cameroon and Uruguay respectively, both players hobbled off putting their availability for the showcase game in doubt.
PSG remain 7/5 favourites but the odds are much closer than they originally were, with the French side evens before the injuries occurred.
Liverpool are 9/5 best price, in from 5/2. Oddschecker has seen money fly in for Jürgen Klopp’s side, with three-quarters of all bets on the win market in the last 24 hours.
Any games missed may impact Neymar’s chances of winning the Champions League Golden Boot, although Lionel Messi is the runaway 2/1 best price favourite to scoop the award. Neymar is currently 15/1 best price, 9/1 in places.
Elsewhere, the Champions League outright market still has Man City as 15/4 favourites, with Barcelona close behind on 5/1. PSG and Liverpool are 12/1 and 14/1 respectively.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: “Liverpool’s European pedigree has never been in doubt, and last year’s heroics exemplified just how much of a powerhouse the Anfield can be in the Champions League.
“They will be looking to complete what seemed like an unlikely double on Wednesday night, but their chances of getting a second win over PSG have clearly improved after the star duo's injuries. Punters have been quick to react, which has seen the odds tumble in Jurgen Klopp and co’s favour.”
