Wednesday evening, at 20:00, PSG receives Manchester United‘s visit to the finals of UEFA Champions League finals, and the game starts from a 2-0 score in favor of the French.
Betting houses have considered the PSG favorite to qualify since the draw, and the current context is also on the side of Thomas Tuchel’s band. United arrives on Parc des Princes without a number of major players, all injured: Herrera, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Pogba, Sanchez, Valencia, Darmian, Jones and Martial can not be used on Wednesday night. Our website has also written about United’s batch issues, which is now added to Alexis Sanchez’s situation, seriously injured in ligatures in the weekend with Southampton (3-2).
Meanwhile, the PSG is without the most important men in the attack, Cavani and Neymar, but relies on the brilliant Mbappe, who has to fight Solskjaer’s defender, alongside Angel Di Maria. Again, the Argentinean will have a special motivation against his former team, and Tuchel will bet on South America’s desire to win. The statistics could tell us that the “double” hand is now over, but Manchester United comes after seven consecutive wins and remains a club with a blazon that will not give up without a fight.
Even if the English defense was not at a high level this season, the guests will prepare the game in detail in tactical terms. Solskjaer knows that any red-and-white goal may mean surrender, so we expect a rather cautious first half from Manchester United. “Diavolii” showed good attack in the last games with Chelsea (2-0), Crystal Palace (3-1) and Southampton (3-2), but the PSG comes after an impressive series of 6 consecutive wins. Of these, four were obtained without a blanking, internally.
But a Manchester United fast-track goal will “dynamite” this double-handed, and bookmakers are too safe to qualify for the French. We are losing on a more open game in the second half, when United is going to attack without having anything to lose. It is likely that the hosts will approach the game quite relaxed, knowing that the PSG stars will be absent, which can give them an unexpected chance at the reserves of Old Trafford.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
PSG XI: Buffon, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Silva, Bernat, Alves, Di Maria, Marquinhos, Verratti, Draxler, Mbappe
Man Utd XI: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot, McTominay, Pereira, Fred, Lukaku, Rashford
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,78
