PSG vs Man United: Second leg preview
By Hidayah Ali
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are set to face off once again on Wednesday evening, as both teams arrive into the game with a goal each from the first leg. This second leg will determine if PSG will or won't participate in this year's Champions League group stage.
On Saturday, PSG met Reims, but the game was cut after an incident involving flares on the pitch. The game did not resume and up till this piece of writing, hasn't had any further updates as to when they will continue the game. Both teams were on a 0-0 scoreline before it came to an end.
PSG Predicted line-up
Constance Picaud
Karchaoui, De Almeida, Le Guilly, Calligaris
Geyoro (C), Fazer, Groenen
Baltimore, Chawinga, Martens Van Leer
There will have to be a change in personnel in the midfield, due to another injury for Oriane Jean-Francois.
The front three that played last week against United should remain the same with Katoto being brought on as a substitute.
We should expect a highly competitive game as both sides are fighting for a spot in the Champions League. We all know how important the UCL is for PSG, who are still searching for their first title win in that competition, and going out this early would be far from ideal for the club.
PSG Post prediction
PSG 2-1 Man United
Yes, going with a 2-1 win for PSG here (3-2 aggregate). It will definitely be a difficult game for the Parisienne side, and United will give it their all like the previous meeting, but overall, I see PSG doing just enough to secure their group stage ticket.
