On Wednesday at 20:00 on “Parc des Princes”, there will be a PSG – Galatasaray duel, the match counting for the last leg of Group A of the Champions League.
With 13 points mathematically qualified from the first place of the group in the upper stages of the Champions League with Real Madrid, the “galactics” having secured the second place with 8 points before the duel they will support in Belgium with Club Brugge.
From the last place of the group with 2 points, Galatasaray is fighting remotely with Club Brugge for the 3rd place leading into the Europa League spring. The Belgians have a point ahead and are at the start of this round favorite to continue their European journey this season.
The only chance for the Turks to rank 3rd is to win the duel on “Parc des Princes”. In the event that he will finish on equal points in the group with Brugge, Galatasaray would be disadvantaged by “direct”, the Belgians having the advantage of a draw with goals away, score 1-1, against 0-0 as recorded between the two teams in Belgium.
In the duel with Galatasaray it is expected that Thomas Tuchel will house more holders, the match being one without stakes for the French. Kimbeppe and Gueye have accused the medical problems in the duel of the championship with Montpellier and it is expected that they will be cleaned up in this duel, as well as Verratti who is not 100% restored after the accident suffered. More than sure that coach Thomas Tuchel will not use Verrattti and because he, along with Angel di Maria and Thomas Meunier would be absent at the next match if they were warned in yellow in the duel with Galattasaray, which is why PSG’s main you will not risk anything from this point of view. Under these circumstances it is a huge chance for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Pablo Sarabia, Sergio Rico and Julian Draxler to be in the duel with Galatasaray.
Steven Nzonzi will return to the Turks after his suspension but also Mario Lemina, recovered after the injury suffered. Also, Radamel Falcao will be in the lot and could enter during the game if he calls for his services.
In the tour match with PSG in Turkey, Galataasaray gave up the duel to the limit with 1-0, the French victory goal being scored in the 52nd minute by Icardi.
