A pair of second-leg quarterfinal clashes kicks off simultaneously at 3:00 pm ET on Tuesday, April 14.
Today’s fixtures feature two massive heavyweight showdowns. Leading 2-0 on aggregate, Paris Saint-Germain faces a dangerous road test against Liverpool at Anfield. Meanwhile, Barcelona must overcome a 2-0 deficit on the road against Atletico Madrid.
With berths in the semifinals on the line, I have run both games through Sportradar’s A.I. prediction model. The table below summarizes the model’s four picks for today’s games: a threeway moneyline pick and total-goals pick for each matchup.

The model likes both desperate favorites to win, along with the over in both games.
Below, I have reproduced the computer’s rationale for all four predictions.

Liverpool vs PSG Picks
- Liverpool Moneyline (+144)
- Over 3.5 Goals (+113)
A.I. Explanation: “Liverpool provides massive expected value as a home underdog at Anfield. Despite PSG winning two of their last three meetings, the English side carries significant momentum (WLWWW) into this clash.
Liverpool generates heavy offensive pressure, logging 182 total shots across 11 matches. Dominik Szoboszlai engines the attack with five goals and four assists. While PSG dominates historical possession (62.67%), Liverpool should maximize transition opportunities against a vulnerable defense.
With Alisson officially sidelined, the home defense is more vulnerable to a Parisian squad averaging 22.0 shots per game in this series. PSG’s high-octane offense features Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (eight goals, five assists) and Vitinha (six goals). Given the staggering 232 shots and 78 corner kicks PSG has racked up in just 13 matches, expect a chaotic track meet that easily eclipses the total.”
Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Picks
- Barcelona Moneyline (-122)
- Over 3.5 Goals (+108)
A.I. Explanation: “The visitors have a distinct analytical edge. Barcelona historically owns this Spanish rivalry, capturing six wins in the last 10 tracked meetings against Atletico. This dominant 60% win rate provides a sturdy statistical baseline.
Barcelona strictly dictates the flow, averaging a commanding 63.9% possession and outshooting Atletico 15.1 to 7.1 per game head-to-head. With Fermín Lopez (six goals, four assists) and Lamine Yamal (five goals, four assists) stepping up in Raphinha’s absence, the surging visitors (DLWWW) are the mathematically sharp play.
Pair Barcelona with Over 3.5 Goals (+108). Atleti keeper Jan Oblak being doubtful significantly raises the ceiling for total goals. These clubs average 3.7 combined goals per match historically, with 37 total goals across their last 10 meetings.
Julian Alvarez guarantees Atletico contributes to the offensive output. He leads his squad with nine goals, five assists, and 44 corner kicks drawn. With two potent attacks crashing the penalty area and crucial injuries testing both defensive units, the situational data strictly points to an offensive showcase.”
