PSG v Atletico Madrid Betting Tips [6 November 2024]

PSG and Atletico Madrid, who face off on Wednesday, are two sides under immense pressure in the Champions League. Going into Match Day 4, both are looking to add on wins from Match Day 1. Let’s look at the stats and a prediction for this match.

Hosts PSG are struggling to replicate their home form in Europe. They haven't been able to build on their opening 1-0 win against debutants Girona. Luis Enrique’s side lost to Arsenal then drew with PSV in the matches that followed.

By their quality, PSG will rightly feel they belong in the top eight so being 19th is really a concern. They have just one win in five Champions League matches.

Atletico Madrid have had a worse start and are also placed dangerously. Unlike PSG, the Spaniards are outside the playoff spaces. For Diego Simeone’s side, any more dropped points would spell disaster.

The visitors lost in the last two rounds. Their most recent defeat in the competition was inflicted by a French side, Lille, who beat them 3-1 at home. That came after their heaviest loss so far, a 4-0 thumping at Benfica. Atletico have failed to build on the 2-1 opening win against Leipzig.

In 15 matches against French sides, Atletico have posted nine wins and will be optimistic of a 10th here.

PSG have not been scoring a lot of goals in the Champions League. A check on their last five matches reveals they only scored twice, though they also don’t concede heavily. As a result, all the five matches produced under 2.5 goals.

Coming into this game, they face a side that doesn’t boast of scoring form as their strength. In the last two Champions League matches, Atletico scored once. They failed to score in two of three away from home in the Champions League. Our prediction for this PSG v Atletico Madrid game is for under 2.5 goals.
