PSG – Player To Watch
Bradley Barcola has filled the sizeable void left after the departure of Kylian Mbapep and is PSG’s most reliable striker currently, with seven goals in seven Ligue 1 starts.
PSV – Player To Watch
With Veerman and Schouten both injured, there will be added pressure thrust upon the shoulders of midfielder Guus Til, who has three goals and three assists in the league this season.
PSG vs PSV – Prediction
PSV ‘s hopes of getting something here were already slim but without Veerman and Schouten they will lack enough quality to impact the game in the middle of the pitch. PSG, therefore, will have the vast majority of possession which means plenty of bullets being provided to the likes of Barcola up top.
