PSG Team News
PSG go into this match with a largely strengthened squad. Achraf Hakimi is back in the group after injury and AFCON duty, having trained well in the days leading up to the clash. His return gives coach Luis Enrique more attacking and defensive balance on the right flank.
Another positive is the return of Matvey Safonov, who has recovered from a hand injury. However, Fabian Ruiz is being managed carefully and is not expected to feature, according to reports.
PSG have a potent attack in this competition, having scored 20 goals so far, and enter as favorites to secure the win, though their form has had ups and downs in recent weeks.
PSG’s expected XI (4-3-3): Chevalier—Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes—Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves—Doué, Dembélé, Barcola.
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle arrive in Paris with their own challenges. Midfielder Joelinton is ruled out with a groin injury, though captain Bruno Guimaraes has travelled with the squad and could feature pending fitness assessment.
The Magpies have shown they can compete at this level, boasting an unbeaten stretch against PSG in recent European meetings and sitting close to the European champions in the standings. They will look to their attacking stars to test the Ligue 1 side and potentially disrupt the Parisian favorites.
Newcastle’s expected XI (4-3-3): Pope—Trippier, Burn, Botman, Hall—Miley, Tonali, Joelinton—Barnes, Wissa, Gordon.
- Score Prediction: PSG 2-1 Newcastle United
