PSG v PSV
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 22nd October at 20:00
🏆
Competition: Champions League
📺
Watch Live: TNT Sports 5
The Champions League anthem returns to the Parc des Princes speakers on Tuesday night as PSG play host to PSV and with the French outfit suffering defeat at the hands of Arsenal in their previous European outing, manager Luis Enrique and his players will be keen to return to winning ways.
⭐ PSG v PSV Best Bets
After failing to earn even a point at the Emirates, PSG will certainly have a point to prove on Tuesday and the best way to put their recent Champions League reverse behind them is by being quick out of the blocks against PSV.
A quick start is always helped by getting in front early on and if Luis Enrique’s men can go into the break ahead that will only make the task even easier. Therefore, backing PSG to complete the task in perfect fashion by winning both halves on Tuesday is where the value lies.
👕 PSG v PSV Predicted XI
🔍 PSG v PSV Players to Watch
🔵 Bradley Barcola
Bradley Barcola was not afforded the luxury of a rest at the weekend but after his performance against Strasbourg, it must be considered an inspired choice. The PSG forward was on hand to both score and assist in his team’s 4-2 and has made a strong case to start on Tuesday.
With a wider sample of games to analyse domestically, Barcola has made eight appearances and averages 1.75 shots on target per outing. Impressive numbers but not as impressive as the seven league goals he has scored and now it is time to carry that form over to continental competition.
🔵 Marco Asensio
Marco Asensio has only played 39 minutes of the 180 that PSG have played in this season’s Champions League but the former Real Madrid player did not only feature in the Ligue 1 win over Strasbourg at the weekend, but also placed his name on the scoresheet.
A goal that doubles Asensio’s league tally and the double option market of a goal or a card against PSV could be a shrewd move. Admittedly, it is the goalscoring element that looks the strongest, with the Spaniard penciled in to play the false 9 role for the Parisians. Even even on an off day from the Spaniard it only needs one moment of ill-discipline to win this wager.

💻 PSG v PSV Form and Tactics
PSG’s 4-2 win at home to Strasbourg saw the Ligue 1 defending champions operate with a 4-3-3 formation under the watchful eye of Spanish manager Luis Enrique. However, the starting eleven on Saturday may not be reflective of what is on show this Tuesday night.
With key men rested, PSG can call upon a number of world-class talents such as Marquinhos and Achraf Hakim in defence and Ousmane Dembele up front and when looking at the Champions League average possession stats for this season, the French giants are ranked third (61.3%)
PSV last outing saw them get the better of AZ Alkmaar on Saturday and like Tuesday’s hosts, they also operate within the confines of the 4-3-3 formation. A shape that sees manager Peter Bosz demand creativity and dynamism from wide forwards Noa Lang and Johan Bakayoko.
The Dutch outfit are certainly set up as a team that aims to be more comfortable in possession than out of it and this is reflected by their current ninth-place ranking in the Champions League average possession charts and they also find themselves joint-ninth when it comes to pass accuracy.
