Newcastle United vs Paris Saint-Germain 04.10.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League

Match Overview

St James' Park will witness one of the biggest matches ever held there when Newcastle United host Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Newcastle will want to not get fazed too much by their opponents and look to put up a decent showing whenever they have possession with themselves. PSG will not have it easy by any means here.

Key Highlights 

PSG have a very good defensive unit, but it will be put to the task when they take on Newcastle. The home team will feel rather confident given that they are taking on these giants of Europe on their own turf first before visiting them in France. Newcastle's attempts on goal have been incremental in the Premier League this season, and they will hope to emulate that.

Injury Report

Both teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. This includes the likes of Sven Botman, Joe Willock and Joelinton among others for Newcastle whereas PSG will have to make do without the services of Sergio Rico, Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes.

Prediction

Paris Saint-Germain appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. Newcastle United may feel that they have the home advantage but PSG will try to override that by putting in action their superior footballing skills. It will be a closely fought contest for sure, but PSG have a very big edge over the home team.
