Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Atalanta
PSG will be aiming to extend their brilliant winning run when they welcome Atalanta to Parc des Princes in their Champions League opener. Les Parisiens are seen as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s clash, but bear in mind that both Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele are out of contention with injuries. Georgia ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is rated doubtful for the Atalanta game after picking up a knock in a 2-0 win over Lens at the weekend.
The Orobici, on the other hand, rolled over Lecce 4-1 at the weekend to record their first win of the season. As PSG head into the midweek encounter with a severely-weakened squad, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Ademola Lookman is unlikely to feature against PSG due to his ongoing transfer saga, while all Sead Kolasinac, Gianluca Scamacca, and Mitchel Bakker are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Marten de Roon):
After spending his youth career in ASWH, Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam, Marten de Roon made his senior debut on 27 March 2010. The midfielder played for Sparta against Twente back then, but he made no more than three appearances for de Kasteelheren in the 2009/2010 season.
Marten de Roon joined Heerenveen in 2012 and in 2015 he moved to Serie A side Atalanta. He made 36 appearances for Atalanta in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, but on 4 July, 2016, he signed a contract with Middlesbrough for a reported fee of £12m. The Dutch footballer scored one goal in three appearances for Netherlands U19 team.
Marten de Roon was born in Zwinjndrecht, Netherlands on 29 March, 1991. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as a defensive and attacking midfielder as well. Martin de Roon is a right-footed footballer and he is 185 cm tall.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
