PSG vs Galatasaray Live Stats & Betting Odds
PSG Prediction – Can PSG maintain 100% home record?
Runaway Group A leaders, PSG, have a golden opportunity to round off their Champions League group campaign with another three points when they entertain bottom club, Galatasaray, at their Parc des Princes as the hosts look to close in on finishing on a 100% record on home turf.
Having won 4 of their 5 matches to date in Group A along with a draw, the French champions are sitting pretty at the top of the pile with a 5-point lead over 2nd placed Real Madrid as we head into the final round of group matches, as PSG have once again flexed their muscles on the Champions League stage this season.
Victories over Real Madrid, Galatasaray and home and away wins over Club Brugge have taken the French Ligue 1 side to the top of the group, being held up only by Real Madrid in a 2-2 draw in Spain on Matchday 5.
The hosts have suffered just 2 defeats at home out of their last 19 Champions League ties, and they look set to register another three points here against the Turkish down and outs, Galatasaray.
Galatasaray Prediction – Can Galatasaray get Europa League consolation?
Although they sit bottom of Group A with just 2 points under their belts so far from what has been a disappointing Champions League campaign, and 6 points adrift of 2nd placed Real Madrid, Galatasaray can still qualify for the knockout rounds of the Europa League if they can get a win at PSG on Wednesday night and Club Brugge lose to Real Madrid.
The latter result is entirely possible, but the prospect of Galatasaray beating PSG in their own backyard looks a distinct improbability as the Turkish side have collected just 2 points throughout this campaign so far.
Home and away draws with Club Brugge have saved the visitors’ blushes but defeats in-between times to PSG and home and away against Real Madrid show that Galatasaray are no longer a match for these powerhouses of European football.
As well as failing to win any of their last 10 matches overall in the Champions League, Galatasaray have lost 13 of their last 16 Champions League ties away from home, and this certainly doesn’t bode well for a visit to face a PSG side who possess a 100% record at home.
Key-Facts – PSG vs Galatasaray
- PSG have lost just 2 of their last 19 ties at home in the Champions League
- Galatasaray have lost 13 of their last 16 Champions League ties away from home
- PSG have won the last two encounters on the trot v Galatasaray
Betting Tips Verdict
PSG look to be well in control ahead of this clash and should take an early lead and capitalise on this.
