Two sides with work to do in terms of their Champions League campaigns face off here, as PSG host Atletico Madrid. French giants PSG have lacked consistency thus far and despite having an expensively assembled squad, they look to have work to do to finish in the top 8. The challenge looks the same for Atletico Madrid, who have also thrown plenty of money at their project this season but who are sat outside of the top 24 currently and if they didn’t qualify for the next round, it would be a huge shock for all punters and UCL betting apps.

PSG vs Atletico Madrid Analysis
The stakes will be sky high in this one, as both sides chase momentum in their respective Champions League campaigns.
PSG
It does feel as if the winds are changing at PSG this season, with their talisman Kylian Mbappe having departed the club. Domestic success is often a given, but they still have plenty of work to do in European competition. The team unit in the French capital is perhaps a little more cohesive and with so many excellent players in their ranks, they should be seen as genuine contenders to go deep in the Champions League this season but this is a big game for them in the eyes of many punters and Champions League betting sites.
Team news: Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez & Goncalo Ramos will miss out here for the French champions.
PSG Predicted Lineup:
Safonov, Pacho, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Mendes, Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Neves, Dembele & Barcola.
Atletico Madrid
It has been a curious opening to the campaign for Atletico Madrid, who have been beaten by Benfica and Lille in their most recent UCL fixtures, two games they were expected to win. On paper, this is one of their toughest assignments of the season and they need to start picking up results quickly if they are to avoid dropping out of the competition at the very first hurdle.
Team news: Borja Garces is a long term injury absentee for Atletico.
Atletico Madrid Predicted Lineup:
Oblak, Molina, Lenglet, Galan, Gimenez, Koke, Simeone, Barrios, Lino, Alvarez & Griezmann.
PSG vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
This should be a bumper occasion in Paris, as the big games continue to pile up both domestically and in Europe for both sides. Despite not winning the competition, PSG have become one of the biggest forces in Europe and they will want to pile the pressure on Atletico, but the Spaniards are a tough nut to crack. This one could well end up as a draw.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 5/2 (+250) – Rhino Bet.

Draw & BTTS – 5/1 (+500) – Fitzdares
Both of these sides look to get the ball down and play, which should make for a very good spectacle. Neither can afford to drop too many more points in the competition though and it could turn out to be an entertaining draw.
