Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction

PSG might arrive with a two-goal cushion, but Anfield on a European night is where leads come to die. This is still a Liverpool side sitting top of the Premier League, and that counts for something even with Alisson and a few others sidelined. Yes, the injury list is concerning and PSG looked sharp in Paris. But the French side are missing Barcola, one of their most dangerous wide threats, and they'll have to withstand wave after wave of Liverpool attacks with that famous crowd roaring every tackle. That's a different proposition than controlling a game at the Parc des Princes. Liverpool showed at the Etihad they can dig in and compete with the best even when not at full strength. Salah is still firing, and PSG's game plan of sitting deep and countering works better when you're not being suffocated by the most intense atmosphere in European football. The market has this close for a reason - it's genuinely tight. But backing against Liverpool at Anfield when they absolutely have to deliver? That takes nerve. I'd lean toward the Reds avoiding defeat here, because PSG finishing the job away from home feels like one step too far.
