Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven: Champions League Match Preview and Prediction

Liverpool will host PSV Eindhoven at Anfield on 26 November 2025 in a Champions League League Stage match that promises intensity, energy and plenty of attacking football. Both teams know each other well from past Champions League battles, and both come into this match with strong motivation.

Liverpool Look to Bounce Back at Anfield

Under coach Arne Slot, Liverpool play fast, aggressive and organised football. They press high, move the ball quickly and rely on their strong home support to push them forward. Anfield is one of the hardest stadiums for away teams in Europe, especially on Champions League nights.

Liverpool will want to respond after losing 3–2 to PSV earlier this year (29 January 2025). That match showed Liverpool’s weaknesses on the counterattack, but it also showed that they can create chances in every match they play.

Playing at home should help them stay more in control.

PSV Eindhoven Travel With Confidence

PSV, coached by Peter Bosz, play a very attacking style. They are quick, direct and always look to push forward with numbers. Bosz’s teams often take risks, but they also create many chances thanks to their fast transitions and strong movement in the final third.

PSV will arrive at Anfield remembering their 3–2 win over Liverpool earlier in the year. That result gives them confidence, but they also know that winning at Anfield is a different challenge.

Liverpool and PSV have faced each other many times in the Champions League:

• 2025:

What to Expect on the Pitch

This match will likely be fast and open.

• Liverpool will try to control the game with their pressing and quick combinations.

• PSV will try to hit back with speed and catch Liverpool on fast breaks.

The key area will be midfield. If Liverpool win the ball early and stay compact, PSV will struggle to build attacks. If PSV find space behind Liverpool’s press, the match could become unpredictable.

Key Factors

• Anfield atmosphere: Liverpool often play with more energy at home.

• PSV’s speed: Their counterattacks can cause trouble.

• Set pieces: Both teams can be dangerous from dead-ball situations.

Prediction

This match should be exciting and filled with chances. PSV have the ability to score at Anfield, but Liverpool’s home strength and experience in big Champions League nights give them the advantage.

Prediction: Liverpool 3–1 PSV Eindhoven

Liverpool are expected to respond strongly and take the three points, but PSV should still create moments of danger.
