Arne Slot fielded a second string squad in the final League Phase match against PSV, which resulted in their defeat. In my opinion, if Arne Slot had not rotated his squad, we might have seen Liverpool leading the standings with 24 points. Meanwhile, PSG had a very hard time reaching the round of 16, so it is natural that they are not the favorites when facing Liverpool. Of course, I don't mean to underestimate PSG, but on paper Liverpool are more worthy of being the favorites.
The second string squad were fielded in that fixture because it was obvious they had almost nothing to loose if they don’t gwt to win that game so it was just ideal rotational technique was applied in that fixture as it did helped in the future fixture after that. I'm believing that Liverpool is going to have their main starting 11 against PSG because a whole lot is at stake in that particular fixture if Liverpool should loose it.
I did not pay attention to the line up of that match that was why I can say I betted the match blindly in favor of Liverpool. My thinking was that they will play their main team to maintain a clear record of ending at the top of the champions league table and also maintaining a clean record in the champions league. Its just not nice that they reserved their players for the English premier league yet they ended up playing draw after losing the champions league to PSV and this made me lose both ways.
