PSG vs Atletico Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Matchday 4 of the UCL league phase is set to be underway

PSG welcome Atletico Madrid to the Parc des Princes in what should be an intriguing matchup between two of Europe’s biggest sides. PSG have made a strong start to their season, leading Ligue 1 by six points after 10 games. In the UEFA Champions League, they have played three matches so far, have four points, and are sitting in the 19th spot. However, a win over Atletico could see them significantly climb the table. Anything less would put pressure on their remaining games.

Uncharacteristically for a Simeone team, Atletico are vulnerable at the back this season. The Roje Blancos are sitting third in the table of La Liga and are 10 points behind FC Barcelona. Simeone’s men have been very inconsistent this season and are struggling to get good results, especially in the UCL. Out of three fixtures, they have lost two and won only one till now in the Champions League. Roje Blancos are in 27th place in the Champions League. They will have to win their upcoming fixtures to get points or they will be in big trouble.

Players to Watch

Vitinha (Paris Saint Germain)

Vitinha’s greatest assets are his passing and his press resistance. He can wriggle out of situations and escape the pressure of multiple opponents. He is skilled at delivering perfect pinpoint crosses into the box. He is also an excellent ball carrier, and it is difficult to stop him when he starts running. The Portuguese can play on the wing, central midfield, and a number six. he can break lines with his passing and is really good at finding space. A top-quality player who will be a big headache for the Roje Blancos.

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)

Tactically he is positionally flexible, he can play at various attacking positions. He perfectly suits Simeone’s style of play. A hardworking Argentine who plays with a fighting spirit and yet is technically excellent. Alvarez is a threat from a set piece as well, both as a creator and shooter and his ball-striking ability has seen him score a few powerful goals. Even though he took some time to adapt to his new club now he is looking sharp and surely will be a threat to PSG.
