Liverpool wrap up the group stage of the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night and we have a tasty bet builder to toast the night in style on January 29.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool side will stroll into their final Champions League group game safe in the knowledge that they will top the table, or at worst finish second.
The Reds have won all seven Champions League games, only conceded two, and should deservedly remain on top of the pile at the end of Wednesday evening’s action.
Only Barcelona, who play Atalanta, can knock Liverpool off their perch. But the Spanish giants need to win and hope that the Reds have rotated their squad so much that they stumble to defeat in the Netherlands.
Let’s see what value we can conjure up in our latest Liverpool bet builder, which has odds of 14/1 at the time of writing.
Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

PSV Eindhoven v Liverpool bet builder
Guus Til two or more shots - 4/9
Luuk de Jong to score or assist - 11/10
PSV v Liverpool - draw - 13/5
Liverpool have got a lot on their plate next week, starting with a tough trip to Bournemouth at the weekend, then the Carabao Cup semi final second leg with Tottenham.
Though Liverpool will want to end the Champions League group stage top of the shop, it’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.
You don’t win anything extra like a trip to Benidorm or a speed boat for finishing top and remaining unbeaten, although it might spice up the competition a bit more if you did.
Therefore, Slot is likely to rest some of his key players and we’ll probably see players like Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, Kostas Tsimikas and Harvey Elliott given a start.
PSV are no mugs and can capitalise on this, especially at home where they are unbeaten all season and have only lost once in their last 53 games at the Philips Stadion.
The Lightbulbs need at least a point to mathematically secure their progress, and though they’ve never beaten Liverpool in six meetings, this could be the night they grab that vital point, in a lively encounter.
Both teams to score
Though Liverpool have only conceded two goals in the Champions League all campaign, they are not as solid as they’d like to think.
They’ve only kept three clean sheets in the last 12 across all competitions, lowly Ipswich the latest side to snatch a goal.
PSV like to attack, they've scored 65 goals in 20 league matches this season, and already have a goal difference of +45 in the Eredivisie.
But recently they’ve not been too hot on keeping the ball out of their own net - conceding 13 in their last five games in all competitions.
Both teams to score has landed in three of Liverpool’s last four games and in all of PSV’s last five.
Over 3.5 goals
PSV will be without the brilliantly named, but suspended, Ryan Flamingo, which will leave a big hole in the Lightbulb’s defence.
Even with Flamingo at the back, they are leaky, as stated earlier. Over 4.5 goals landed in all five of those games, so maybe over 3.5 goals is a little conservative.
Liverpool have seen over 3.5 goals succeed in six of their last ten games across all competitions.
Guus Til - 2+ shots
With Arne Slot likely to tinker with his team sheet, it might be more prudent to take a punt on the mainstays of the PSV team.
Dutch international Gus Til catches the eye, playing just behind the old warhorse that is Luuk de Jong.
Til already has 10 goals and seven assists this season. He netted twice against NAC Breda at the weekend and collected an assist against Crvena Zvezda, so has hit a bit of form.
He had five shots against Breda, three against Zvezda and another three in the 3-1 defeat to Zwolle two Saturdays back.
Til averages 2.82 shots per match this season and we’d be surprised if he doesn’t chance his arm a couple of times against Liverpool.
Luuk de Jong goal or assist
Speaking of De Jong, he’s one goal away from becoming PSV’s all-time top scorer in the Champions League.
He’s also in a rich vein of form with five goals and four assists in the last six, and will be keen to take that top scorer crown.
Anytime goalscorer feels like it could bust this bet builder, so pad it out with a bit of safety and make it goal or an assist.
