Preview
PSG beat Manchester City 2-0 at home on Matchday 2 to pick up their first win of the season.
Goals from Gueye and Messi was enough as PSG leaped to the top of Group A with 4 points from 2 matches.
The Parisians are in a comfortable space when it comes to form and they will look to continue the good work in this one.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig eye a return to winning ways following their 2-1 home loss to Club Brugge on MD 2.
Nkunku’s early goal was cancelled out by Vanaken and Rits, which ensured successive defeats for the German side.
Leipzig remain rooted at the bottom of Group A with 2 losses from their subsequent matches.
Hence, they are under pressure to deliver in this one as their slim chances of qualification could be further damaged with another loss.
Both sides last met in Group H of the UEFA Champions League 2020-21 where PSG won 1-0 through Neymar’s first half penalty.
