PSG
PSG face PSV Eindhoven in midweek UCL clash.
In a compelling clash at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain aim to reclaim their winning momentum in the UEFA Champions League against a determined PSV Eindhoven, both sides eager to navigate the intricacies of European football success.
Paris Saint Germain
PSG return to Champions League action this Tuesday for their matchday 3 clash with PSV, aiming to bounce back to winning ways. Les Parisiens snatched a late 1-0 victory over Girona in their opening match but fell to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal on matchday two, a result that leaves them 19th in the league phase standings.
First-half goals from Kai Havertz (20’) and Bukayo Saka (35’) handed PSG their first loss of the campaign. With hopes of securing a top-eight finish in the league phase still within reach, PSG will now look to claim all three points when they host PSV at the Parc des Princes.
‘Our goal is to be stronger with 23 players than with 13,’ Luis Enrique said after the French champions' 4-2 league win over Strasbourg. ‘The Champions League is a completely different competition to Ligue 1; we prepare as best we can,’ the Spanish manager added, speaking on their midweek game.
Tuesday’s encounter against PSV will be PSG’s second meeting with a Dutch side and the first European meeting with the Eredivisie champions. A strong record on home soil provides confidence going into this clash.
PSG have won 29 of their last 37 home games [27W, 9D, 1L] in the group/league stage of the UEFA Champions League. Ousmane Dembélé, who was left out of the squad for the Arsenal match due to disciplinary reasons, is expected to return to the starting lineup alongside Bradley Barcola and Marco Asensio this Tuesday in Enrique’s 4—3—3 formation.
Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani is in doubt for the game.
PSV
PSV, currently 24th in the UCL league phase, opened their campaign with a 3-1 defeat on UCL MD1, followed by a 1-1 draw against Sporting CP on matchday 2.
The Dutch side enters Tuesday's clash with PSG after securing two consecutive league wins, including a notable 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar. "Winning gets harder and harder," noted Peter Bosz after the match. "Opponents adjust to you, you can see that today," he added.
Tuesday’s trip to the French capital presents another challenging opportunity for PSV as they aim for their first UCL win of the season. Historically, they have struggled on French soil, with only 2 wins in their last 18 major European away matches against French clubs [2W, 9D, 7L].
In attack, Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong, and Noa Lang are expected to feature in a 4-3-3 formation.
