PSG – Leipzig: bookmaker odds
On Tuesday November 24, within the framework of the fourth day of the Champions League, a match will take place between French PSG and German “Leipzig”. Three weeks ago these teams played in Germany, where the hosts not only achieved a 2: 1 victory, but also gained an advantage over the “comeback” match in the form of disqualifications from Idrissa Gueye and Presnel Kimpembe – these Parisian footballers in the second half they saw red cards in front of them and now they will miss Tuesday’s game. Considering that PSG cannot lose points (and generally need to win), these losses significantly complicate the life of Tuchel and his team …
PSG – Leipzig: indicative squads
The situation in Group H, in which, in addition to Parisians and “Leipzig”, “Manchester United” and “Istanbul” also play, after the third round matches, is deeply confusing. Even the Turkish team, generally considered an outsider to the company, scored the first points, beating the English at home, and had some chances of reaching the playoffs! Theoretical, of course, because two of the three remaining “Istanbul” parties will be out, but nonetheless.
The Parisians, despite two defeats in three games, have not yet given up hope: they will play “Istanbul” and “Leipzig” at home. The right to fail has already been used, so you must win and one of the first two places, in theory, should not be away from them. At the same time, the German team will have to visit twice in a row (PSG and “Istanbul”) and, in the last round, “Manchester”. It is possible, and even very likely, that this match will become key for these teams: the loser can be eliminated from the Champions League. Thus, in order not to lead to sin, “Leipzig” and PSG in the face-to-face meeting of the fourth round, it is necessary to take the points to the maximum, which practically guarantees us a match “from the knife”.
Who is most likely to win? Paris plays at home, but without the disqualified duo, but with Neymar and Mbappé, without those who lost in Leipzig. This will add power to the hosts’ attack, which is already solid, don’t forget that in Germany PSG took the lead and then still did not convert the penalty. Don’t ruin Di Maria’s shot from the “point”, and the score in the first half would have been 0: 2, and I only know how it would have ended … Then I would call the hosts the favorite of the match, even though they missed the last round match. French championship against “Monaco” – not even a failed match, but the second half. Playing in Monaco, “PSG, as with” Leipzig “, started well with two goals, and then suspended the second half in the same way, conceding three goals and losing. And they got the same elimination, that is, the analogies they are quite visible distinct.
I think that the fatal deconcentration of the Parisians on Friday happened precisely because of the next Champions League game: they thought everything was done and decided to save energy for the most important match on Tuesday. But they did not take into account the Folland factor, which dragged the “Monaco” almost by itself. Well, they will be angrier. In the French championship, this defeat is absolutely insignificant, it is most likely that PSG will be champions again, but before the Champions League that restructuring is very useful. At the same time, of course, Tuchel is forced to brainwash what is happening with the team in the second half lately. If another failure occurs this time, the consequences can be very serious.
“Leipzig” also clearly had the match with PSG in mind, having played a draw on Saturday in a rather diffuse match of the German championship with “Eintracht” (1: 1). However, thanks to the accompanying misfire from “Bavaria”, Nagelsmann’s team remained among the leaders and contenders for the title. But the players’ game can hardly satisfy the coach: the team has been losing points a lot lately. At the beginning and mid-October everything was fine, four wins in a row with a single conceded goal, and then, as a failure of some kind: a defeat for “Manchester”, then a loss to Gladbach, and now a failure with Frankfurt. . Well, at least they beat PSG, but let’s not forget the lack of a duo of the main forwards in the rival, as well as the accompanying factors in the form of an unaccounted penalty from Di María and two eliminations.
There is no doubt that both coaches will take the game as seriously as possible. Firstly, the tournament position compels, secondly, both are called the future of the German coaching workshop (one is generally only 33 years old, the other 47 is also quite old) and “new type of mentors”, and thirdly Instead, they recently met in the semi-finals of the Champions League. and they should have been studied perfectly. Then, in August, the PSG of a more experienced coach defeated Leipzig and proceeded to the final to lose there to another German team with another German coach, who became famous overnight.
PSG – Leipzig: author’s forecast
The game should be as intense as possible and this, to be honest, does not put you in a bad mood: the cost of a mistake is too high. But then the first goal scored (and consequently missed) may well blow up the situation and “open” the game. I hope this happens as soon as possible, because potentially this match can become a decoration of the tour … Well, I consider the hosts as favorites, who not only have nowhere to go and just need to win, so also Mbappé and Neymar are back in the ranks. “Leipzig”, which he has been missing a lot lately, will not seem like little!
