PSG vs Newcastle Prediction – Champions League

The home team is currently in 6th place, with 13 points acquired through 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. In their second-to-last match, they drew away against Athletic Bilbao (0-0). In the last match, they lost away to Sporting CP (2-1). This team is minimally affected by the home factor, presenting similar results at home and away. In their last 30 matches, they recorded 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses as visitors, scoring 33 goals and conceding 16, compared to 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses at home, scoring 35 goals and conceding 13. The team comes into this match following an away win against Auxerre (1-0). PSG has won 8 and lost 2 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, conceding goals in 5 of their last 7 matches, but their attack has been consistently scoring, with goals in 6 of their last 7 games in this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 24 out of 34 have finished with over 2.5 goals. In 15 matches, they have only managed 1 comeback in the 4 games where they conceded first.

PSG enters this match after a victory, 1-0, on their trip to Auxerre for a Ligue 1 match. In their last Champions League match, the Parisians lost to Sporting 2-1. Playing at home, the team led by Luis Enrique is expected to maintain their usual 4-3-3 formation, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembélé as the main attacking threats. Offensively, the home team tends to primarily exploit the left flank, where the incursions from full-back Nuno Mendes provide depth and unpredictability to the team’s play. Matvey Safonov, Kang-in Lee, João Neves, and Quentin Ndjantou are unavailable for this match due to physical issues.
