Prediction: 2-0
Real Sociedad
Parc des Princes will host a highly-anticipated Champions League clash between PSG and Real Sociedad, the two teams who meet for the first time in the elite competition. Les Parisiens are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Kylian Mbappe should be recalled to the starting XI after he was rested in a 3-1 win over Lille, while all Kimpembe, Kurzawa, Mendes, Rico, and Skriniar remain in the recovery room. Midfielder Kang-In Lee is back from suspension.
The Basques, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Osasuna in their last La Liga game and given their four-game goalless draught in all competitions, home win should definitely be considered. The likes of Elustondo, Fernandez, Merquelanz, Munoz, and Odriozola are sidelined with injuries, while star player Mikel Oyarzabal is unlikely to recover in time to face the Ligue 1 giants.
