PSG Team News and Lineup
Galtier’s only injury concern is the midfielder Vitinha. He was forced off with a knee injury in their league match against Nantes. However, Vitinha has recovered reportedly and could start.
It remains to be seen whether Galtier starts Donnarumma or Navas between the sticks. Keylor Navas is yet to play any game for PSG this season. He could be the go-to GK for the European Campaign.
Probable Lineup (3-4-1-2): Navas; Danilo, Marquinhos, Ramos; Hakimi, Vitinha, Verratti, Mendes; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar
Juventus Team News and Lineup
The Italian giant has a long list of injured players. Paul Pogba, Wojciech Szczesny, Marley Ake, Kaio Jorge, and Federico Chiesa have all been out injured. Di Maria will also miss the trip to his former club. However, Leandro Paredes is fit to feature against his former teammates.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Perin; Danilo, Bonucci, Bremer, Sandro; Locatelli, Paredes, McKennie; Cuadrado, Vlahovic, Kostic
PSG vs Juventus Prediction
It would be difficult for any team against Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe in Paris. PSG is one of the favorites for the Champions League this season. Moreover, they are in a flying form under new manager Galtier. Five wins and a draw in six matches, sitting at the top in Ligue 1.
On the other hand, an injury-ravaged Juventus side isn’t scoring many goals in Serie A. They drew three and won two in five matches, scoring 7 goals. We don’t see Juventus coming out of Paris with a victory. PSG 2-0 Juventus.
