Paris Saint-Germain vs OH Leuven match preview

Paris Saint-Germain have had very little to shout about in the Champions League recently, so can they end their elongated wait for a victory? A week ago, PSG commenced their league phase campaign by earning a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid; Sakina Karchaoui's second half penalty pinching a point at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano.

Last season's third place finish in the Première Ligue meant that Paulo César's side very nearly did not qualify for the league phase, Les Rouge-et-Bleu were taken to extra time by Eintracht Frankfurt in a qualifier last month, before eventually getting through. So now, PSG must performer better in this competition.

During the inaugural league phase a year ago, les Parisiennes failed to win any of their six fixtures, picking up only two points, thereby ending up second bottom. As a result, PSG are now without a win in nine Champions League games, excluding qualifiers, dating back to their quarter-final demolition of BK Häcken in March 2024. With Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Juventus their remaining four opponents, which is tough to say the least, this is surely must win.

As for Oud-Heverlee Leuven, they too have a point on the board, holding Roma to a goalless draw at Den Dreef on matchday one. However, the Belgian champions were very fortunate because, in the 95th minute, le Giallorosse were awarded a spot-kick, but Marta Pandini's attempt thwacked the post.

This is OH Leuven's second successive Champions League campaign, having won the first two league titles of their entire history. Last time round, a 12th place finish saw them sneak into the knockout phase, their only win coming against Twente, before being hammered 7-1 by Arsenal.

This year, Setareh Habibzadeh's team ousted TSC Bačka Topola and Fenerbahçe in the first round of qualifying, the latter on penalties, before a two legged victory over Czarni Sosnowiec. Thus, in short, OH Leuven are massive underdogs, but not a side PSG can take lightly.
