PSG vs Chelsea Preview, Prediction, TV channels, Kick-off, Lineup & Prediction
Chelsea visit Paris Saint-Germain for a Champions League last-16 grudge match on Wednesday night.
At a time when PSG sit top of the Ligue 1 table, their opponents are in fifth position in the Premier League table.
In the Club World Cup final last summer, the Blues pulled off a major 3-0 underdog victory over PSG less than two months after the French club became champions of Europe for the first time.
Match Facts
This is the first competitive meeting between the sides since Chelsea’s dominant 3–0 victory over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final last summer.
Despite qualifying through a tense playoff against Monaco (5–4 on aggregate), PSG have kept only two clean sheets in their last ten matches across all competitions.
Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who scored twice in that Club World Cup final, has been involved in over 40% of the Blues’ Champions League goals this campaign.
Chelsea enter this clash following a strong league phase where they secured notable away victories at Napoli and Benfica, though they struggled in a recent 2–1 loss at Atalanta.
Predicted Lineup
PSG: Safonov; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Santos; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Pedro
Prediction of AI
This encounter promises a clash between Luis Enrique’s possession-heavy philosophy and Liam Rosenior’s energetic, high-pressing Chelsea. PSG possess the individual brilliance to punish any defensive lapse, especially through the electric pace of Barcola and Dembélé. However, Chelsea’s tactical cohesion in away European fixtures has been impressive. Given PSG’s recent defensive fragility at home, expect a high-scoring draw that leaves the tie perfectly balanced for the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
Predicted Score: PSG 2–2 Chelsea
