PSG v Chelsea preview and tips – Hard task for the Blues!

PSG has only lost one game this season. It was in Madrid where they lost to Real by 1-0, but they deserved at least the draw. They are 44 domestic fixtures unbeaten having won all trophies but the Champions League since last year. Laurent Blanc has asked his player for a further improvement if they need to secure a win on the 1st leg. PSG drew 0-0 at home to Lille in the weekend. Blanc rested Ibrahimović, Maxwell, Thiago Motta and skipper Thiago Silva. Pastore and Verratti made their returns from injury. The Argentinian midfielder is a doubt again, but Verratti should be in the starting eleven.

Possible lineup:
Paris: Trapp; Marquinhos (Van der Wiel), Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell; Matuidi, Thiago Motta, Verratti (Rabiot); Di María, Ibrahimović, Cavani.
Out: Aurier (disciplinary), Lavezzi (unspecified)
Doubtful: Pastore (hamstring)
Misses next match if booked: Aurier, Verratti

Chelsea‘s biggest league victory of the campaign was tempered by an injury to captain John Terry. The captain is out for the crucial visit in Paris and his replacement will be Baba Rahman since Zouma is also missing. Chelsea recorded their biggest win of the season against Newcastle, 5-1. Hiddink is unbeaten in 11 matches since replacing Jose Mourinho. However, it was the Portuguese that takes credit for the difficult qualification achieved over Porto and 2nd placed Dynamo Kiev, topping their group.

Matic is suspended and Oscar is trying to shake off an injury.

Possible lineup:
Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Ivanović, Cahill, Rahman; Fàbregas, Mikel; Hazard, Willian, Pedro; Costa.
Out: Zouma (knee), Terry (hamstring, ligament), Matić (suspended)
Doubtful: Oscar (calf)
Misses next match if booked: none

The sides’ two most recent ties both ended 3-3 on aggregate, Chelsea winning the first on away goals in 2013/14 (PSG v Chelsea 3-1, Chelsea v PSG 2-0), and Paris prevailing in the second last spring (1-1 in Paris, 2-2 in London after extra time).

I believe this will be a spectacular game and expect goals from both sides. Over 2.5 goals is the main bet and Pick of the Day (16/2), but the correct score 3-1 is also within today’s picks.
