Liverpool vs PSG: Reds to score in first 10 minutes but a penalty to be awarded?

Liverpool take on Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday night in the Champions League in a mouth-watering Anfield clash.

Big European evenings are what Merseyside thrives off, and the atmosphere created by the home support can often be the difference. And plus, they’re what professional footballers thrive off – and it’s exactly what everyone loves to see.

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel has already admitted to wrapping star forward Neymar up in cotton wool in a bit to preserve him for Liverpool – and when opposition sides do that, you know they’re worried about the threat of the Reds.

Roberto Firmino could be missing for the game, thanks to a Jan Vertonghen finger to the eye socket – but Klopp has plenty of options up his sleeve in case the worst happens.

But despite the risk of a key forward sitting this one out, there are still impressive odds to be had for Liverpool to score in the first 10 minutes of the game. History suggests that the Reds like to get their European games off to an absolute flyer, and the side hit the back of the net in that time frame during five Champions League games last season. SkyBet are offering 4.5/1 for that, while bet365 will only give you 2.25/1.

Both outfits are well equipped with electric forwards who possess pace and have excellent dribbling ability. Neymark and Kylian Mbappe are electric, while Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane need no introduction.

If you fancied a little flutter on the penalty market, you can pick up decent odds. PSG have been getting them left, right and centre this campaign while Liverpool are always a threat on that front. William Hill are offering 12/5, bet365 9/4 and BetStars 11/5.

This is a huge game, but the Reds are going into the fixture unbeaten and will extra confidence following an excellent win over Tottenham on the weekend. With a packed Anfield behind the team, this is the moment to knock over a world-class opposition.
