Prediction: Leipzig 2-3 PSG
PSG’s defence has been an issue for a while as they have won many games coming from behind.
This is where Leipzig would target if they stand a chance to pick up their first win of the campaign.
We expect a thrilling clash as Leipzig would be under pressure to get started, but we see PSG edging this clash due to their resilience.
Players to watch out for: Nkunku, Forsberg, Neymar and Mbappé.
