Galatasaray vs PSG Soccer Betting Tips
In opening of this group A, Galatasaray went to collect the points in the Jan Breydel stadium of Cercle Brugge. Despite opportunities from both sides, neither team managed to find the net (0-0). This is a good point all the same for the Turkish team which, with only 4 points gleaned last season in group stage (0 away), had still won the 3rd place of its pool before to fall against Benfica in the final of the Europa League. In the league, Sofiane Feghouli’s teammates did not make the perfect start. Indeed, the double-holder of the title is currently 7th with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. The only setback was conceded in the first day against the modest team Denizlispor (2-0) but Galatasaray conceded the draw in his last two games, at Yeni Malatyaspor (1-1) and at home against the Fenerbahçe (0-0).
For his entry into the Champions League, PSG Tomas Tuchel made a strong impression. Opposed to Real Madrid winner of the editions 2016, 2017 and 2018, the team of the capital was easily imposed in a Princes Park bubbling (3-0). If Angel Di Maria was the great architect of the Parisian victory in the absence of the incumbent offensive trio (Neymar, Cavani and Mbappe), the reigning French champion can also thank the new recruit, Idrissa Gana Gueye. The former Toffee of Everton has achieved a monstrous performance in recovery, in intensity, in tactical placement and he has managed to get on the tuning technically. After having successfully started this new sporting year by hardly winning a new Champions Trophy against Rennes (2-1), the partners of Thiago Silva slightly disappoint in the championship despite their 1st place. The team has already lost twice (in Rennes and against Reims), for 6 wins, the last obtained Saturday in Bordeaux on a new goal from Neymar (0-1). The Parisians have still won 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions, and each time without conceding a goal.
The numbers for Galatasaray vs PSG
Absent because of a jaw problem against Club Brugge, Younes Belhanda (formerly Montpellier, Nice) will indeed be available for this meeting and he should even be titular. The only absent is the former midfielder Lemina, hit in a collision with Luiz Gustavo against Fenerbahçe. It is the former Niçois Seri, back suspension, who should repackage. In the Turkish squad, there will also be other players who have played in Ligue 1 like Falcao (Monaco) and Mariano (Bordeaux). In front, the trio Feghouli-Falcao-Babel looks great but for now the Istanbulians score little.
After missing the match against Real Madrid, Mbappé will be present in the Parisian group, he who came into play against Bordeaux. Nevertheless, the Parisian prodigy seemed embarrassed by his thigh at the end of Monday’s training and he could be preserved again. The place number 9 will be played between Mbappé, Icardi (preserved Saturday for a problem ribs) and Choupo-Moting (back injury). In addition, the Brazilian star Neymar is still suspended for this last match, after his remarks on the refereeing of the return match against Manchester United last season. Cavani, Draxler, Kehrer and Dagba remain injured. As against Real, Marquinhos should come play in a very close midfield alongside Gueye and Verratti.
