Match Overview
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) host Newcastle United at the Parc des Princes in a UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday. We all know what happened in the reverse fixture of this game when Newcastle managed to put four goals past PSG and sent them packing from St James' Park with their tails tucked firmly between their legs.
Key Highlights
At the time of writing, PSG are ranked in the second position of the league table with six points to their name whereas Newcastle are perched right at the bottom of the standings with a mere four points inside their kitty. The win over PSG was their only victory in the Champions League so far, but Newcastle will be keen on repeating that and going above their opponents in the table.
Injury Report
PSG will have to make do without the services of Nuno Mendes, Keylor Navas and Marquinhos in this game whereas for Newcastle United, Sven Botman, Harvey Barnes and Matt Targett will be unavailable for selection.
Prediction
Neither PSG nor Newcastle United appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. Given that they have not got on the scoresheet in the last two matches that they have played away from home, Newcastle will feel a little flummoxed. However, these statistics can always change in a matter of minutes, and one can expect that to happen here. We expect BTTS (both teams to score).
