PSG vs Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain welcome Liverpool to the Parc des Princes for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday evening.

The defending champions, who lifted their maiden European Cup in 2025, face a Liverpool side boasting six titles in this competition.

PSG dismantled Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the last round, while Liverpool responded with a commanding 4-0 second-leg win over Galatasaray to reach this stage.

This fixture is a direct rematch of last season's round of 16 tie, which PSG edged on penalties, and revenge will be firmly on Liverpool's agenda.

PSG vs Liverpool Form & Momentum

PSG arrive in blistering form. Luis Enrique's side are unbeaten in their last seven Champions League knockout matches and have made a habit of dismantling English opposition, having eliminated four Premier League teams across the last two Champions League seasons. Their attacking output has been relentless, with the 8-2 aggregate demolition of Chelsea the latest example of their firepower.

Liverpool's European pedigree speaks for itself, though, having won six of their last eight Champions Leauge quarter-final ties. Their 4-0 second-leg rout of Galatasaray demonstrated that this squad can produce big performances when it matters. The concern for Arne Slot will be their recent away form, which has been patchy, with several defeats on the road in recent weeks denting confidence heading into a hostile Parisian atmosphere.

PSG vs Liverpool Predicted Lineups

PSG

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Starting Lineup: Safonov; Hakimi, Pacho, Zabarnyi, Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.

PSG are without Fabián Ruiz, Quentin Ndjantou, Senny Mayulu and Bradley Barcola through injury. The absence of Barcola and Mayulu strips Luis Enrique of two attacking options, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been their standout performer in Europe this season with seven goals, and he lines up alongside Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué in a potent front three.

Liverpool

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Starting Lineup: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitiké.

The most significant absentee for Liverpool is Alisson Becker, with Giorgi Mamardashvili stepping in between the posts. Mohamed Salah leads the attack and remains the chief threat going forward, and the onus will be on him to test a PSG backline that has looked vulnerable at times this campaign.

PSG vs Liverpool Match Prediction

Our prediction: PSG 2-1 Liverpool.

PSG's home form in Europe has been frightening and, with Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé leading the line, they carry more than enough threat to break down a Liverpool side missing Alisson in goal. Liverpool will fancy themselves to nick one on the break through Salah, but the hosts should hold the edge across the fixture. Expect goals at both ends in an open, entertaining first leg.
