PSG vs Tottenham preview: Team news, lineups, prediction
Tottenham can claim their third European win of the season when they return to UEFA Champions League action against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Tottenham suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs’ former summer target Eberechi Eze netted a hat-trick in a performance that was almost written in the stars at the Emirates.
As a result, Thomas Frank will be looking to make amends with fans when the Lilywhites face PSG at the Parc des Princes on 26 November.
Form guide
Tottenham: L, L, W, D, L
PSG: D, W, L, W, W
Team News
Brennan Johnson saw red during Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Copenhagen last Champions League matchday and will be suspended for their upcoming clash.
Furthermore, Tottenham are still without Dominic Solanke, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
As for the Parisiens, Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue are both unavailable to face the Lilywhites, while Ousmane Dembele is likely to feature in the Champions League clash.
Predicted lineups
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Sarr, Simons; Kudus, Kolo Muani, Tel
PSG: Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Joao Neves, Ruiz, Vitinha; Lee, Ramos, Barcola
Prediction: PSG 3-0 Tottenham
PSG defeated Tottenham on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup final last time the two sides met.
Despite the defeat, Frank put up a performance that sold Tottenham fans dreams.
- Spurs recorded two more shots on target
- The Lilywhites took more shots
- Tottenham won 53 per cent of their duels while PSG won 47 per cent
It was complete dominance from Spurs before the 85th minute despite their opposition having more of the possession.
However, as seen in the Premier League, Frank’s Tottenham is a team that struggles to score goals, while PSG have scored the most in the Champions League this season.
It’s a complete mismatch, and as a result, Tottenham News predicts a decisive 3-0 victory for PSG on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for the Lilywhites, the French side’s attacking quality will be too much for Spurs’ shaky backline to handle.
