Liverpool vs PSV prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-25 20:00.
[p]A beleaguered Liverpool will look to get over the disappointment of a disastrous start to the defence of their Premier League crown when they return to UEFA Champions League (UCL) action against an in-form PSV side.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The unwanted records keep coming for Liverpool, whose 3-0 humbling at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday condemned them to back-to-back league defeats by a 3+ goal margin for the first time since 1965! After a colossal summer spend, boss Arne Slot is now under immense pressure to turn things around quickly given his side are in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but the UCL has provided some respite this term as they’re firmly in the mix for a top-eight finish (W3, L1). Two home victories against Spanish giants Real and Atlético Madrid have set them up nicely for this clash, where they look to stretch their 13-match winning run in UCL home group/league phase games.[/p]
[p]PSV firmly assume the role of underdogs here despite Liverpool’s recent struggles and their own incredible form of late (W8, D3). Seven of those victories came across their last eight outings, including a 1-0 away win against NAC Breda at the weekend, and PSV have already proved in the UCL this season that they don’t mind travelling (D2). All told on the road, PSV are unbeaten in their last 15 games (W12, D3), which will surely boost belief they can build upon their impressive record of just three defeats from their last 17 UCL group/league phase matches (W7, D7).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These sides met in the UCL league phase last season and PSV won 3-2, securing their only win in history against the Reds (D1, L5). The Dutch side have only won one of their last 14 European away games against English opposition though (D5, L8).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]None of Liverpool’s last 30 European group/league phase matches ended level.[/p]
[p]Arne Slot has lost a joint-career high four managerial games against PSV (W3, D3), winning just one of the last eight (D3, L4).[/p]
[p]PSV’s last ten UCL games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]PSV have scored in 16 of their last 17 UCL group stage/league phase games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Liverpool signed Cody Gakpo from PSV, but he may have to wait to haunt his former employers as all four of his goals this term arrived after half-time. PSV’s Ricardo Pepi has been involved in five goals in his last four UCL appearances (G3, A2), including a goal against Liverpool last season – his two goals across the last two UCL rounds arrived after the 85th minute. [/p]
[p]Big-money summer recruits Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz headline Liverpool’s injury list. PSV remain without the influential Ruben van Bommel.[/p]
