Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Manchester United:
Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Fred, Matic, Van de Beek; Fernandes; Rashford, Cavani

Paris Saint-Germain:
Navas; Florenzi, Diallo, Kimpembe, Bakker; Verratti, Marquinhos, Herrera; Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar

Manchester United welcome Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford as both sides are looking for crucial points to secure progress. Manchester United are first in Group H with 9 points, while Paris Saint-Germain are sharing the second place with Leipzig - both teams have six points. The reverse fixture was very interesting. The Red Devils won 2:1 in October thanks to Marcus Rashford's late goal. I believe the victory had big influence on the players confidence. The Premiership outfit then completely outplayed Red Bull Leipzig winning 5:0. Once again it was Rashford in the focus. He came off the bench to score three goals in just 16 minutes, first running clear to calmly slot in, then smashing in a terrific second, before drilling home a third in stoppage time. Teenage striker Mason Greenwood opened the result in the 21st minute with his first goal in the competition, while Martial converted the penalty in the 87th minute scoring his first goal of the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men showed two faces in the next two matches with Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir. Manchester lost in Istanbul, but won 4:1 at home, mostly thanks to Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese international scored a brace, while Rashford and Daniel James also found the back of the net. I will also mention that United beat Southampton with 3:2 during the weekend. The Red Devils were two goals down after the first half, but managed to win after a former PSG legend Edinson Cavani set up one goal and scored two more. I expect Cavani to start, even more as Anthony Martial, who missed the Southampton game through illness, is rated as doubtful. David de Gea is also doubtful after the knock forced him off at half time on the same match. Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay and Eric Bailly are injury doubts too. Luke Shaw is definitely out with a hamstring injury. Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek are both expected to shake off ankle problems.

Paris Saint-Germain are sharing the second place in the group with Leipzig. Both teams have six points, while Istanbul Basaksehir are on the last place with three. Of course, the Turkish Champions are still hoping to finish as second which will guarantee knock out phase. Anyway, it is clear PSG must get three points from this match. Any other outcome could additionally complicate the situation. The French champions were successful in the competition last season, reaching the final. But that isn't good enough for the owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi. He is desperate to see the trophy after investing lot of money in the club. But PSG have already suffered two defeats in the first four rounds in the Champions League. I already wrote they lost the reverse fixture with Manchester United. To be worse, they were beaten in Germany too, losing 2:1 to RB Leipzig. Last week they won 1:0 against same opponents and it is good they have better mutual record in case both teams finishing with the same points after six rounds. The domestic form isn't at desired level too. Paris Saint-Germain have no win on the last two matches. Even worse, they showed lot of weaknesses on the mentioned matches. First they lost 3:2 to Monaco in a match where had full domination and a 2:0 lead after the first half. Even more, Mbappe and Moise Kean both had a goal disallowed. But the second half was like a catastrophe, PSG conceded three goals and lost the match. This weekend was somehow similar, the reigning champions squandered another lead to ultimately draw 2:2 with Bordeaux. Coach Thomas Tuchel is feeling a big pressure, but that's nothing compared with the possible elimination from the Champions League. Nobody believe the German coach will keep the job in that situation. In addition, Tuchel has some injury worries ahead of this match as Marquinhos, Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer are struggling with injuries and they are rated as doubtful, while Juan Bernat remain a long-term absentee. Key players Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are ready.

Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction:


This should be an efficient match. Paris Saint-Germain are easily scoring goals, but at the same time they are conceding too. The fact is that this season's PSG are nowhere near the side that finished the last season as Europe's runners up. The Parisians have received 5 goals on the last three matches in all competitions. However, I think both teams will go for the victory. We have players hungry for goals on both sides - Rashford and Cavani for the hosts, Neymar and Mbappe for the guests. Some players will be particularly motivated playing against the former clubs, like Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Edinson Cavani. Considering all facts, I expect more than two goals to be scored at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain Pick
: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.69 with 1xBet
 
Given the weak motivation and possible changes from Pirlo, I expect Juventus not to catch its known standards and to be imposed with a small goal difference. The Asian handicap +2 goals of Dynamo Kiev
JUVENTUS vs DYNAMO KYIV @@ +2.00 Ah DYNAMO KYIV, odds 1.65

The two clubs want to finish the qualifying case from today, first and then to claim the first place. I expect them to give their all and the offensive lines to play a leading role in the match. Besides, they score comfortably and for this reason I will bet that both teams will score
BORUSSIA DORTMUND vs LAZIO @@ Both team to score, odds 1.57

Sevilla and Chelsea may have achieved their goal of reaching the top 16, but both teams will now be willing to secure first place. The hosts have won five games in a row, but Chelsea are also in good form and are unbeaten in nine Champions League games. They have excellent offensive lines and a match can be made, with goals and phases
SEVILLA vs CHELSEA @@ Over, odds 1.95

Paris Saint-Germain have an ardent desire to win the Champions League and will now go to Old Trafford knowing full well how disastrous the defeat can be. Manchester United may only need one point from the last two games, but these two games come against two strong clubs, so it is not at all simple. Our group promises to have an exciting ending, I believe we can see Paris leave England with a crucial victory on Wednesday night
MANCHESTER UNITED vs PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN @@ PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN, odds 2.40
 
Manchester United
They get a four-match wining streak in recent games. It seems that they are getting well these days. For the reason that they are the first in Group H with 9 points, they will possibly upgrade as long as they take one point from PSG.


Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
There is a bad news for them that several key players of PSG are injured, which makes an effect on their playing more or less. They have got six points in the League so far, the same as RB Leipzig. So PSG should take points as much as possible or they will out of the League.


Verdict:
They have met each other in last season. Man Utd defeated PSG at 3-1 at that time. And Man Utd also win over PSG at 2-1 this season. The Asian handicap first odd is PSG rovers -0.25. PSG are going to win.


Manchester United VS Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
Pick: Paris Saint Germain (PSG) -0.25
