👕 PSG v Atletico Madrid Predicted XI
🔍 PSG v Atletico Madrid Players to Watch
🔵 Achraf Hakimi
Achraf Hakimi looks like a strong contender to commit at least one foul during this contest. The all-action right-back got on the wrong side of the referee three times against PSV.
He also committed two fouls during PSG’s 1-1 draw with Girona on matchday one. The Moroccan is likely to cross paths with Samuel Lino. The Atletico Madrid left wing-back has been fouled five times across his three Champions League appearances this season.
🔴 Koke
Look to Koke to commit a minimum of one foul. The Atletico Madrid captain was guilty of one offence when his side lost 3-1 to Lille. He has also racked up a combined total of 10 fouls across his 10 starts in La Liga this season.
Koke could be tasked with keeping Warren Zaire-Emery quiet. The 18-year-old has drawn a foul in each of his last two outings for PSG in the Champions League.

💻 PSG v Atletico Madrid Form and Tactics
While PSG are currently six points clear at the top of Ligue 1, their Champions League efforts have left plenty to be desired.
The French heavyweights looked to lack a clinical edge when being held to a 1-1 draw by PSV on matchday three. Luis Enrique’s side generated an xG output of 2.57 to PSV’s tally of just 0.25. PSG dominated possession (61%) and won the shot count (26-8), with eight of their efforts hitting the target.
PSG have racked up 24 corners across their three Champions League games this season, with 14 of those coming against PSV.

They have averaged a sizeable 60.3 possession over the first three league phase games. That can be attributed to the fact that PSG have committed just 27 fouls across their opening three matches, with only two other sides giving away fewer free kicks over the first three matchdays.
Atletico Madrid appear to be fading as a continental force. They were soundly beaten 4-0 away to Benfica before losing 3-1 at home to Lille. Diego Simeone’s side have also failed to win six of their opening 12 La Liga games of the season.
Atleti will consider themselves unlucky not to have beaten Lille on matchday three. The Spanish giants won the xG battle 2.35 to 1.30, the shot count 11-8 and they also landed in six on-target efforts in comparison to Lille’s three.
Simeone’s side have been one of the most ill-disciplined teams in the competition to date. Their overall yellow card count reads 10 after just three matches. They have been shown a minimum of three cards in each of their three respective outings thus far.
Atletico Madrid have earned a combined total of just 16 corners over their first three games of the league phase.
