At Anfield on 26 November 2025, Liverpool welcome PSV Eindhoven in a matchup that arrives at a delicate but potentially uplifting moment for the hosts.
Liverpool Seek European Stability Amid Domestic Turbulence
Liverpool’s recent Premier League slump, highlighted by losses to Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, has raised concerns about consistency and defensive vulnerabilities. Yet in Europe, the contrast is striking. The Reds have been sharp, aggressive and efficient - wins over Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, plus the five-goal outburst against Eintracht, show a team that still finds its best rhythm on the continental stage. Anfield often amplifies this version of Liverpool, and Jürgen Klopp’s side will try to lean on that identity to regain confidence.
PSV Travel with Confidence and Goals in Their Boots
PSV arrive in excellent form after victories over NAC Breda, Feyenoord and a statement demolition of AZ. Their Champions League approach has been equally brave - drawing away from home, defeating Napoli and consistently creating chances. The Dutch champions rarely go scoreless; their vertical, high-tempo attacking transitions make them one of the more dangerous visiting sides Liverpool will face in the group. This clash naturally leans toward an open game, driven by two teams who prefer to dictate play rather than absorb pressure.
Attack-Minded Styles Point Clearly to Goals - Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Both sides carry attacking momentum into the match in different ways: Liverpool rediscovering their European confidence, PSV maintaining their steady scoring streak. Defensively, neither team has been flawless, and the pace at which both attack suggests that chances should come on both ends. PSV’s bold approach on the road complements Liverpool’s urge to restore rhythm, making an exchange of goals the most logical scenario.
