Atlético de Madrid take on PSG on UCL MD 4.
In a high-stakes UEFA Champions League clash, Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético Madrid both seek redemption at the Parc des Princes on November 6, as they vie for crucial points to revive their fluctuating European campaigns.
Paris Saint Germain
PSG returns to UEFA Champions League action this Wednesday for their matchday 4 clash with Atlético Madrid, following Match Day 3’s 1-1 draw with Dutch side PSV. Achraf Hakimi came to Les Parisiens’ rescue in the 55th minute to help the French champions avoid back-to-back defeats in the UEFA Champions League.
The clash against Atlético Madrid will be another stern test in the competition for PSG, who are coming off a 1-0 win over Lens in Ligue 1. Currently in 19th place in the league phase table, PSG has struggled to match their domestic form in European action.
With a guaranteed place in the next phase of the competition gradually slipping away, they will be looking for a statement win over Atlético Madrid, a team they have never faced in the competition. The French side has lost four UEFA Champions League matches in 2024, making this encounter crucial.
Manager Luis Enrique is keen to avoid the unwanted record of five defeats in a row in a major European competition within a single calendar year. Ousmane Dembélé could team up with Bradley Barcola and Lee Kang-In in Enrique's 4-3-3 formation.
PSG has no fresh injury concerns. However, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos are all ruled out of Wednesday’s clash against Atlético Madrid.
Atlético Madrid
Following back-to-back UCL defeats, Atlético Madrid [1W, 0D, 2L] find themselves in 27th place on the UCL league phase table, with just three points. Their recent 3-1 loss to Lille saw Julián Alvarez score the club’s only goal, but a brace from Jonathan David and a goal from substitute Edon Zhegrova led to a rare home defeat by more than one goal, the first since 2009.
With their UCL campaign struggling, the Mattress Makers are eager to change course as they head to Paris to face another French side. Prior to the loss to Lille, they had enjoyed a four-game unbeaten streak against French teams [3W, 1D, 0L]. Atlético Madrid aim to return to form against French competition, but are on the brink of losing three consecutive UCL matches for the first time since the 2021-22 UCL group stage.
A 3—5—2 formation is anticipated, featuring Julián Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth in attack. Unfortunately, José María Giménez will be unavailable for this fixture.
