Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
One of the tastiest fixtures on match day one in the Champions League is undoubtedly the game between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain with betting tips continuing for our readers…
The venue is Anfield for Liverpool’s opening match in Group C as they play host to French outfit PSG fresh from their 2-1 triumph at Wembley over Tottenham on the weekend which saw them preserve their 100% winning record in the Premier League.
Liverpool dominated Tottenham throughout the 90 mins and even though they conceded late on, the result was never really in doubt as The Reds cruised to five wins on the trot. Their attention now turns to the Champions League where they finished runners-up to Real Madrid in last season’s final, and they come into this clash having suffered back-to-back defeats in this competition.
A 4-2 loss at Roma in the 2nd leg didn’t matter in the end as Liverpool ran out 7-6 winners on aggregate, but then lost the final 3-1 to Real Madrid. Goals usually feature heavily whenever Liverpool are involved with 8 of their last 9 matches in the Champions League producing 3 goals or more.
PSG put four past Saint-Etienne over the weekend in the French top flight even with resting forwards Mbappe and Neymar, so to win by that margin was indeed a great result for the Paris club.
Neymar and Mbappe will return to this evening’s encounter on merseyside, but first choice goalkeeper, Buffon, is expected to miss out again through injury. Nevertheless, PSG come into this important Champions League opener having won their last seven matches on the trot in all competitions, and with the likes of Cavani also up front, the French club pose a serious threat to Liverpool’s not entirely solid back line.
PSG have lost their last three matches on the trot at this level following defeats to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid (home and away), but again, goals are a particular feature where they’re concerned with each of their last 15 matches played in the Champions League producing 3 goals or more.
My betting tips therefore suggest backing the goals market in this clash.
Pick: Over 3 @ 1.70 Marathonbet looks a good play
