Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Paris Saint-Germain:

Navas; Florenzi, Diallo, Kimpembe, Kurzawa; Herrera, Gueye, Paredes; Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappe

Manchester United:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Pogba; Mata, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial

Paris Saint-Germain welcome Manchester United to the Parc des Princes for their Group H clash. The group is all but easy and includes the last season's semi-finalists Red Bull Leipzig and Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir. It is clear every point is important, but PSG are main favorites for the first place. Thomas Tuchel's side were successful in the competition last season, reaching the final. But final isn't good enough for the Arab owners. Nasser Al-Khelaifi is desperate to win the Champions League as he invested lot of money in new players. PSG are in excellent form in domestic Ligue 1, winning the last five matches. Even more, they scored 10 goals on the last two matches. The Parisians beat Angers with 6:1 before the international break and then won 4:0 at Nimes. The atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. Tuchel has the key players Neymar and Mbappe ready for this encounter. Neymar was rested against Nimes during the weekend , but is expected to lead the line together with Mbappe. The former Monaco striker will try to to find the back of the net - should he score in this match, then he would surpass Lionel Messi as the youngest player to register 20 Champions League goals. Considering the fact he netted four goals and provided three assists in four Ligue 1 fixtures this season, I believe Mbappe will write the history on Tuesday night. However, coach Tuchel has lot of injury worries. Mauro Icardi, Juan Bernat and Thilo Kehrer are definitely sidelined through injury, while four players are rated as doubtful - Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Julian Draxler and Danilo Pereira.

Manchester United, the three-time European champions, have missed the last season of this competition. They participated in UEFA Europe League and reached the semi-finals, where lost 2:1 to the eventual winners Sevilla. Nevertheless, the new season brings new hopes for Ole Gunar Solskjaer and his men. A good result in Paris will surely be a positive moment for everybody in the club. Winning in Paris is all but easy task, however it is not impossible. Manchester United already conquered Paris in March 2019, when Marcus Rashford scored 94th-minute penalty to secure a 3:1 win. It was a moment of glory for Manchester as they secured quarter-finals having been beaten "only" 2:0 at Old Trafford in the first leg. It was definitely the greatest night for the fans since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. However, this season's results are not at desired level. The Red Devils have two victories and two defeats after the opening four rounds in the Premier League. Solskjaer came under heavy pressure after the 6:1 home defeat at the hands of Tottenham. It was a humiliation, but United managed to respond by beating Newcastle with 4:1 on Saturday. Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford were the scorers at St James Park. The later was named 'Player of the Match' after registered three goal involvements - one goal and two assists. Rashford will probably start from the first minute, as well as Anthony Martial, who skip the weekend fixture due to suspension. Solskjaer should make a tough decision about the goalkeeping position as Dean Henderson publicly announced he isn't satisfy to be only a reserve. The Norwegian coach could give him a chance in the Champions League in order to keep him happy.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Prediction:


I expect a tight match with lot of emotions. The former PSG star Edinson Cavani will return to the Parc des Princes to make his debut against the club in which he spent the last 7 years. The 33-year-old Uruguayan striker is PSG’s all-time record scorer with 200 goals, including 30 in the Champions League. In addition, Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera, will also face their former teammates. Paris Saint-Germain are favorites, but I don't think Manchester will give up easily. The Red Devills have played six competitive matches in the new season, 4 in the Premier League and 2 in League Cup. Four of these six were played on road and United won all four. It seems they play much better away from home. This is exactly that kind of match, Solskjaer's men will have lot of space for counter-attacks. I think they could upset the hosts. In case PSG to win with one goal, Your stake will return.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United Pick: Manchester United +1.0 AH @ 1.91 with 1xBet
 
Paris Saint Germain (PSG)

PSG win the second prize of UEFA Champions League in last season. And they have won the first prize of France Ligue 1 for nine times. It is undoubted that they are one of the top teams. They get a five-match winning streak in recent games.


Manchester United

Manchester United get into the League as the third of English Premier League in last season. They win over Newcastle United at 4-1 as guest. They play well on offensive with at least 3 scoring goals in every game.


Verdict:

They have 3 head-to-head clashes before. PSG take the upper hand over Manchester United with a record of 2W-1L. The Asian handicap first odd is PSG rovers -0.75, and then up to -1, which gives great support to them. In short, PSG will get a six-match winning streak.


Paris Saint Germain (PSG) VS Manchester United

Pick: Paris Saint Germain (PSG) -1
 
Ajax vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Ajax:
Onana; Mazraoui, Schuurs, Blind, Tagliafico; Klaassen, Kudus, Promes; Neres, Tadic, Antony

Liverpool:
Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Gomez, Robertson; Naby Keita, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Two former European Champions - Ajax and Liverpool - will face at Johan Cruyff ArenA in Amsterdam in the first match of Group D. The group also includes the last season's most pleasant surprise Atalanta Bergamo and Midtjylland from Denmark. Ajax are in solid form in domestic Eredivisie, winning four of the first five league matches. They managed to beat Sparta Roterdam, Waalwijk, Vitesse and Herenveen, losing only to Groningen before the international break. They sit second on the table, one point behind the leaders PSV. Ajax were impressive during the weekend, scoring five goals against Heerenveen. Captain Dusan Tadic was the key name on that match as he scored the first two goals. Mohammed Kudus scored the third, while Davy Klaassen and Antony also found the back of the net in the finish of the match. Ajax dominated the game with 70% possession and had 712 passes with 88% accuracy. Nevertheless, it is fair to say that Heerenveen are not as strong as Liverpool, although there may never be a better time to play this Liverpool side as they are without key defenders Alisson and Virgil van Dijk. Coach Erik ten Hag has no injury or suspension worries and he is expected to have a fully-fit squad at his disposal. Quincy Promes and Antony should return to the starting eleven after they were named on the bench against Heerenveen. Dusan Tadic, who's involved in 13 goals in his 18 appearances in the Champions League, will be the main danger for Adrian.

Liverpool are in very complicated situation. They started the new Premier League season with three straight victories. The Reds managed to beat Leeds United, Chelsea and Arsenal. And just when the fans start dreaming about new trophy, things drastically changed. From bad to worse. First they were humiliated at Villa Park, losing 7:2 to Aston Villa. The high defeat spoiled the atmosphere in the squad and surely affect the players confidence. The next match against Everton produced the worst possible scenario. Key defender Virgil van Dijk suffered a knee injury and will be out for at least six months. His absence is a huge handicap for Jurgen Klopp. According to me, Liverpool are no longer strong as previously. The German coach now has just two recognized centre-backs, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip. To be even worse, Matip is rated as doubtful for this match. But that's not all. First-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss the trip to Amsterdam through shoulder injury. Missing two key men in the defense, plus Matip, is a huge handicap for the Reds. But that's not the end of the problems. Thiago Alcantara, who was named as 'Player of the Match' on his full debut at Goodison Park, has suffered a knee injury after Richarlison’s horror tackle. Despite initial fears that he would be set for his own lengthy spell on the sidelines, the last medical tests are not that pessimistic. Nevertheless, the Spaniard will most probably skip the match with Ajax, although Klopp refused to rule out the ex-Bayern star from first-team action in Amsterdam. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a long-term absentee.

Ajax vs Liverpool Prediction:


Liverpool have huge defensive issues. The Reds will be without the two key men as Alisson and Van Dijk are injured. In addition, Matip is rated as doubtful. Ajax, lead by Dusan Tadic, will take advantage from this situation, particularly because Adrian is out of confidence after receiving 9 goals his two appearances. At the same time Liverpool have excellent strikers in Salah, Firmino and Mane, plus Diogo Jota. Considering these facts, I expect an efficient match in Amsterdam. At least four goals should be scored.

Ajax vs Liverpool Pick:
