PSV vs Liverpool Prediction
Peter Bosz’ PSV have been a little inconsistent of late but they do remain at the top of the Eredivisie after their 3-2 win over NAC Breda at the weekend, although their lead has been cut by Ajax. They were 3-0 up in Belgrade against Red Star last week before being pegged back and having to hold on to a 3-2 victory. Liverpool edged past Lille by two goals to one in a hard-fought contest at Anfield last week but Arne Slot’s winning machine continue on their march and quest for a quadruple as they dismantled Ipswich Town by four goals to one at the weekend. Liverpool are a well grooved operation at the moment but the possibility of chaos is always there when PSV play so over 2.5 goals would seem a good bet for what could be a fun encounter for the neutral with the pressure off both sides.
PSV vs Liverpool Tip: Over 2.5 goals
