PSG take on the visitors AC Milan in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 25th at Parc de Princes (Paris).
After a harsh defeat in England in the previous match of the Champions League group stage, Parisians are preparing to host the Italian team Milan on their home turf. It's worth acknowledging that PSG's problems stem from their defense. Even in their disappointing match against Newcastle, the French champions managed to score a goal and outperformed the Magpies in terms of expected goals (xG). However, they conceded a surprising four goals. In the first group stage match of the Champions League, PSG, playing at home, defeated Borussia Dortmund (2-0) and looked much better than the Germans, especially with the support of their home crowd. Predicting the outcome of a match involving the current PSG, even in Ligue 1, is a risky endeavor, let alone in the Champions League. However, believing in goals from this team in any match seems plausible.

It's worth noting that Milan have performed decently in the group stage of the Champions League, despite not securing wins or scoring goals. In their first match, the Red and Blacks dominated the English side throughout the game, with an xG of 2.05 against 0.19. However, the match ended in a goalless draw against Newcastle. Their match against Borussia Dortmund in Dortmund also ended 0-0, even though the Italians outperformed their opponents in xG, with 1.40 compared to 0.96. Milan should have scored against both the English and the Germans, but finishing chances or luck was lacking at times. In the upcoming match, I believe that the football gods will compensate for what the Devils missed out on in the previous two rounds. I expect at least one accurate strike from Stefano Pioli's team.
The situation in Champions League Group F is intriguing: Milan dominates on the field (but not on the scoreboard) against Newcastle, who are demolishing Parisians, who, in turn, convincingly defeat Borussia Dortmund, with whom Rossoneri play to a draw. I dare not predict the outcome of the match between the French and the Italians in Paris. However, I believe in at least an exchange of goals. Milan should finally score a goal in the Champions League; they've earned it. Moreover, PSG's defense is far from ideal. As for the hosts and their attack, it's reasonable to expect at least one scored goal. So, I'm sticking with the straightforward bet of Both Teams to Score, which, in my opinion, is quite evident in this encounter.
Prediction for the match: Both team to score – yes.
