PSG is welcoming RB Leipzig to Parc des Princes in round 3 of Group A in the UEFA Champions League. PSG is in great form, they have lost only 1 game so far this season, and they are at the top of this group with 4 points. Leipzig is struggling massively, in every competition they play in, and it doesn’t look well for them.

PSG has been scoring a lot of goals this season, and how could they not with Mbappe in great form. In the Champions League, PSG was a bit careful, and understandably so, and for that reason, they have scored only 3 goals. In their last game against Angers this past weekend in the Ligue 1, PSG has had 73% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and a high 93% of the correct passes. PSG was losing 0-1 at halftime, but they tied the score in the 69th minute. Despite all the chances, PSG needed to be awarded a suspicious penalty kick in the 87th minute to win this game, and they did. The final score was 2-1. Messi is still in the warmup mode in PSG, but he is looking better with every game. This is a strong group, but PSG is getting the job done, and with a win in this game, they might secure themselves a spot in the next stage.

As I’ve mentioned, Leipzig is in terrible form, they are struggling on both ends, and I think this will be a really bad season for them. Leipzig has only 1 win in their last 4 games, but at least they were able to get a positive result against Freiburg in Bundesliga this past weekend. Leipzig has had 48% of ball possession in that match, 3 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 75% of the correct passes. Leipzig was leading, but the final score of this game was 1-1. In the Champions League, Leipzig is in the last place of this group with 0 points, 4 scored goals, and 8 conceded goals. Nkunku is their only goalscorer with 4 goals so far. Leipzig isn’t a bad team, they have some great players, but their current head coach is not a good fit, and the sooner they change that, the better it will be for the team. There have been a few games between these two teams, and each team has 2 wins. I think if this game was played last season, Leipzig would have a say in it, but this time, I don’t think they stand a chance. PSG is the play here.
