Champions League: PSV vs. Liverpool Picks — Reds to Maintain Perfect UCL Record? (Jan 29)

Arne Slot’s Liverpool look to secure top spot in the Champions League standings on matchday eight. PSV will have the home field advantage, but the hosts will be among the outsider PSV vs. Liverpool picks.

Liverpool have been perfect in the Champions League to this point, winning all seven of their matches and conceding just two goals. However, only a win on matchday eight will secure top spot.

PSV vs. Liverpool Picks

The trends make it hard to separate these sides, as both have positive records in the Champions League. However, the fact that Liverpool could rest their first-team stars could give the advantage to the Dutch hosts.
