Paris Saint-Germain hosts PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday in a key Champions League clash at Parc des Princes. PSG looks to recover from a 2-0 loss to Arsenal, while PSV hopes to improve from a 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon.
PSG’s recent form shows they are unbeaten domestically, defeating Strasbourg 4-2 over the weekend. The team is determined to find their rhythm after last season’s disappointment, with three points from their first two UCL matches. They haven’t lost a home Champions League game since October 2020 and have a solid scoring record at Parc des Princes.
In contrast, PSV suffered a 3-1 loss to Juventus in their opening match and have struggled in away Champions League fixtures, failing to keep a clean sheet in 11 consecutive games. However, they lead the Eredivisie with nine straight wins, showing strong domestic form.
PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani, who had a solid international break, is a doubt for the match due to a sprained ankle. Key defenders Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Achraf Hakimi are expected to return after being rested.
For PSV, midfielder Jerdy Schouten is sidelined with a knee injury, adding to their concerns alongside the absence of Joey Veerman and potentially Hirving Lozano. Malik Tillman may start in Schouten’s place.
Both teams are eager to establish momentum, but with PSG’s home advantage and attacking prowess, they are favored to secure a comfortable victory.
