Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Champions League match.
PSG vs Newcastle preview
PSG don’t seem that strong in this group. They won two home games: against Borussia Dortmund (2:0) and Milan (3:0). However, their away matches show the problems that the French side has. Newcastle beat PSG in the first game in England (4:1). Milan also won the game in Italy (2:1). In League 1 PSG haven’t lost a point in six consecutive games, but the Champions League is obviously much more difficult for them.
Newcastle lost both games versus Borussia Dortmund. They’re currently at the bottom of the group, but they still can qualify for the Champions League play-offs if they win this match. On Saturday, Newcastle beat Chelsea (4:1) in their home Premier League game. Difficult schedule seems to be the main problem for the Magpies now.

No more than 3 goals have been scored in regular time in 6 out of the last 7 games of PSG in the Champions League.
PSG vs Newcastle prediction
This is going to be a very careful game. PSG want to avenge the humiliation in the first match. However, Newcastle need to win if they want to proceed in the Champions League. It’s not going to be an easy task. I believe that the English side will start very carefully, playing well in defence and looking for a chance to attack and score. It’s unlikely that we’ll see many goals in this match, although both sides have good forwards.
