Newcastle host PSG at St. James\u2019 Park in their first home Champions League <\/a><\/strong>match in two decades. The Magpies have turned their season around thanks to five successive clean sheets. Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 in their matchday one fixture and will hope to win on English soil as they did at Old Trafford in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It wasn\u2019t the best start to the season for Newcastle, partly due to a tough fixture list. After thrashing Aston Villa 5-1, they lost three matches in a row. The 1-0 away loss to Man City was unexpected but throwing away a 1-0 home lead to ten-man Liverpool in a 2-1 loss and then being outclassed 3-1 at Brighton was concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019ve since kept five clean sheets with three league victories out of three, plus a credible 0-0 draw away to AC Milan. They allowed plenty of shots in that draw but defended stoutly. They\u2019ve followed that up by winning 8-0 at Sheffield United with eight different scorers and then by beating Man City 1-0 in the Carabao Cup. On Saturday, they had a routine 2-0 home win over Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eddie Howe has quite a few injury concerns. Callum Wilson is tough-and-go to even make the bench whilst Sven Botman is ruled out at centre-back. Jamaal Lascelles will deputise and also wear the captain\u2019s armband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In midfield, Joe Willock is injured and Joelinton is a major doubt. Sandro Tonali is competing with Elliott Anderson for one spot. Anthony Gordon will play down the left wing with Harvey Barnes injured long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Motivation will be at an all-time high. The players and the crowd will be completely focused on stopping PSG and Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newcastle will play for the win and will attack at times, but they won\u2019t leave themselves open to counters against the pace of Mbappe, Dembele, and Muani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n PSG have had a mixed start to the season under Luis Enrique. Their first five Ligue 1 matches saw them drop points on three occasions. They began the season with a 0-0 at home to Lorient and then a 1-1 draw at Toulouse. Successive victories followed as they beat Lens 3-1 and Lyon 4-1 away in a top display. With one eye on the Champions League, PSG were beaten 3-2 at home to Nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 2-0 victory over Dortmund on matchday one saw a fine performance with 68% possession, 2.44 xG, and 17 shots. A ruthless 4-0 home win over arch-rivals Marseille followed as they only allowed their opponents six shots and 23% possession. On Saturday, they could only draw 0-0 at Clermont despite 3.06 xG and missing all five of their \u2018big chances\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luis Enrique has moved between a 4-3-3 and a 3-4-3 this season. Either way, Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe, and Randal Kolo Muani will form the front three. Left-back Nuno Mendes is ruled out after hamstring surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Winger Marco Asensio is doubtful after a foot injury but he wouldn\u2019t have started anyway. Striker Hugo Ekitike was not registered for Europe. Another absentee is experienced defender Presnel Kimpembe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n PSG have been playing a heavy possession style under their new coach. They will try to dominate this match and take the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A draw would not be a bad result at all after having beaten Dortmund on matchday one. PSG could be inclined to settle for a draw, if the Magpies are on top in the latter part of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newcastle<\/strong> have kept 5 clean sheets in a row <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This match could be any of the three results, and either low-scoring or full of goals. Despite the sides\u2019 recent clean sheets, Newcastle will miss Sven Botman and PSG may struggle to deal with the intensity of the Magpies. I\u2019m tipping a score draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best Bet: Draw at 3.50<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Value Bet: Draw with Goals at 4.05<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNewcastle Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
