PSG vs Newcastle United: Recent Form & Head To Head Record
PSG are coming into Tuesday night’s fixture in commendable form. Led by the sensational Kylian Mbappe, the Parisians secured a 5-2 victory over Monaco in Ligue 1 over the weekend. The victory, which marked their sixth league success on the bounce, allowed them to maintain their position at the top of the Ligue 1 rankings.
In their previous UEFA Champions League outing, however, Luis Enrique’s boss fell a little short. At San Siro, Les Parisiens succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to the mighty AC Milan. The defeat in Italy left them in a vulnerable shape in the Group F rankings.
They only have six points on the board after four matches, a point less than table-toppers Borussia Dortmund. While PSG have the opportunity to overcome the deficit in the next couple of games, they can also drop out of the top two spots if they are not careful.
Newcastle United are also coming into Matchday 5 with a big win under their belt. Eddie Howe’s side bagged a massive 4-1 victory over Chelsea over the weekend, bouncing back from the shock 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth in the best possible fashion.
Like PSG, Newcastle United also fell to a defeat in their previous Champions League outing, losing 2-0 to leaders Dortmund. They are currently at the bottom of Group F with four points, meaning they desperately need a victory to keep themselves alive in the race for the Round Of 16.
Newcastle and PSG have only met each other once in their history, with that encounter coming at St. James’ Park in October. Playing in front of their fans, Newcastle secured an emphatic 4-1 win over the French champions.
PSG vs Newcastle United: Prediction
Newcastle United can be a force to be reckoned with if they get going. They have a formidable attack, a gifted midfield, and a sturdy backline, worthy of giving PSG a real run for their money. However, we believe the Parisians have a deeper squad and a more experienced coach in their ranks, making them the favorites to clinch maximum points on Tuesday.
We are predicting a 3-2 victory for PSG at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 5.
