Personal analysis: PSV Eindhoven still mainly plays pass control and wing attack. Pepi and De Jong in the center position are the main attacking points in the team's penalty area. Both of them have good performance in grabbing points and competing for headers. Till and Tillman in the front midfielder position are more inclined to organize the attack. Both of them have certain breakthrough ability. Lang and Bakayoko in the winger position are breakthrough players. Relatively speaking, Bakayoko's speed and confrontation ability will be stronger. Welman, Schouten and the two full-backs in the midfield will also participate in the attack in many cases. The technical ability of the players is not bad, but their ability to protect the ball and confrontation ability when facing pressing are slightly worse. The defense is basically completed by the two central defenders Boscali and Flamengo. Both of them are good in speed and confrontation ability, but Flamengo was sent off in the last round and was suspended in this game, which has a relatively large impact on the team's defense. Liverpool currently has no major problems on the offensive end. After Nunez's return, his ability to attack the goal in the middle has been strengthened to a certain extent. Salah's state in the counterattack in the past few rounds of games is slightly worse, which is also related to his decline in ball possession on the field. The combination of McAllister and Gravenberch in the team's midfield position is relatively fixed, and the change of formation will have a greater impact on Liverpool's midfield defense ability. At present, the right side of Liverpool's defense is the team's biggest shortcoming. Arnold and Bradley are not very effective as full-backs. Kwansa's stability on the field and his cooperation with Van Dijk are not very good. Konate's speed ability after returning from injury is also slightly slower than before. Once Salah transfers this season, the strength of Liverpool's entire right-wing system will decline significantly.
In terms of the team's offensive ability and the confrontation ability of the strikers, Liverpool is stronger than PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool's midfield and backcourt lineup is relatively fixed, the tacit understanding between the players and the strength of the two central defenders are also stronger than PSV Eindhoven. In particular, the confrontation ability of the entire PSV Eindhoven team is biased, and the stability of the ball in the confrontation is not very good. Liverpool only needs to play more high-pressure tactics to easily find counterattack opportunities. At present, PSV Eindhoven's direct promotion situation is not clear. Only by scoring points in this game can they ensure the promotion. Liverpool has already confirmed the promotion early. In this game, PSV Eindhoven's home game handicap of 0.25 goals is a bit high. There is a clear gap in the overall strength of the two teams. Although most of the substitutes started this game, Lao Li believes that the current data is suspected of luring the host, so Liverpool is still recommended to win away in this game, and the score is expected to be 0-2 or 1-2.
