Liverpool Hoping to Draw First Blood on the Road

Liverpool needed a big showing in the second leg against Galatasaray in the round of 16 to advance to the quarterfinals. They struggled in recent action in England.

That was followed by a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League play and a 4-0 drubbing by Manchester City in the English FA Cup.

Liverpool posted a 6-2-0 mark in league phase, earning the third seed in the field. That gave them a spot in the Round of 16.

They responded with a vengeance, rolling to a 4-0 victory in the second leg to advance by a 4-1 aggregate.

Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the second leg in the 25th minute and Liverpool led 1-0 at the half. Hugo Ekitike made it 2-0 and gave Liverpool the lead on aggregate in the 51st minute. Only two minutes later, Ryan Gravenberch extended to a 3-0 margin in the 53rd minute. Mohamed Salah, who was stopped on a penalty kick just before halftime, closed the scoring with a marker in the 62nd minute. Salah became the 12th player in history, and the first hailing from Africa, to score 50 goals in Champions League play.

Starting goalkeeper Alisson Becker (hamstring) is out for both legs of the quarterfinals. Giorgi Mamardashvili gets the call between the sticks here.

Paris Saint-Germain Try to Defend Home Field

Paris Saint-Germain made rather easy work of sixth-seeded Chelsea. Les Rouge-et-Bleu look to dispatch another Premier League side and take another step toward defending their crown. Paris Saint-Germain is riding the wave with solid play right now. After dropping Chelsea, Les Rouge-et-Bleu dropped Nice 4-0 and Toulouse 3-1 in Ligue 1 action. They are 20-4-3 in Ligue 1 play, giving them a four-point lead over Lens for the top spot.

The sweep allowed them to advance to the quarterfinals.

In the second leg against Chelsea, owning a three-goal advantage, Paris Saint-Germain never let the Blues think they had a chance. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia got PSG on the board in the sixth minute and that set the tone for the rest of the match. Bradley Barcola made it a 2-0 score in the 14th minute and that was the margin at intermission. Senny Mayulu closed the scoring, and the door on the Blues, with his goal in the 62nd minute. Barcola (ankle) has been ruled out for this contest.

Liverpool vs. Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

Liverpool is floundering of late as they are just 2-3-1 in their last six matches overall. Manager Arne Slot’s seat is getting hotter and there are reports that Xabi Alonso could be his replacement this summer. Meanwhile, PSG is hot right now and had their Ligue 1 matchup scheduled for Saturday with Lens postponed to give them maximum prep time ahead of the second leg. They’ve been very good at home and have won their last four matches, each by multiple goals. Liverpool has dropped their last three matches as the visiting side. Seeing the Reds’ issue on the road and having a backup keeper between the sticks, take PSG in this contest.

Our Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 1.73
