Paris Saint-Germain vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain are yet to find the perfect balance, as they look to play the dangerous attack from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the first XI. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure to get it right, and a bad game could prove problematic.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, got off to a slow start under new manager Jesse Marsch. Their form in the league hasn’t been fantastic, but coming out of a tough Champions League squad would be a big advantage for Marsch.
