Match announcement
Paris Saint-Germain
Current form
PSG immediately indicated their undeniable advantage in Ligue 1 and clearly demonstrated that Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid did not weaken the team much. Following four rounds, the Parisians scored the maximum 12 points, managed to score 16 goals and are in first place. In the last round, a 3:1 victory was secured over Brest, before that, Lille was defeated with the same score.
Undoubtedly, the bet is on fighting for the long-awaited title in the Champions League. Last season, let us recall, PSG failed to cope with Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals, losing with a total score of 0:2 on the sum of two matches.
Luis Enrique has an excellent selection of players in each line. It is worth noting that the Spanish specialist uses Asensio or Colo-Muani as the central forward. These players managed to score three goals between them.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hernandez, Kimpembe and Ramos are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting

- In 11 of their last 13 home matches in the Champions League, the Parisians have received at least two yellow cards
- PSG have won only one of their previous four matches on offsides
Tentative lineup : Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes - Neves, Ruiz, Lee Kang-In - Dembele, Asensio, Barcola.
Girona
Current form
Girona very unexpectedly finished third in the last La Liga, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona. Thus, the team earned the right to play in the Champions League for the first time in its history. Moreover, today will be the team's debut in European competitions.
Apparently, we should not expect the same bright and productive game, and especially high results, from Michel Sanchez's charges. In the national championship, there have already been losses from Atletico (0:3) and Barcelona (1:4). As a result, after five rounds in Primera https://www.gironafc.cat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, Girona has seven points and occupies ninth place.
It should be noted that, as in the previous season, the team tries to play open football. Even taking into account two defeats from Atletico and Barcelona, they managed to score eight goals. However, the defensive play raises many questions – eight goals conceded. In some cases, goalkeeper Paulo Gassaniga, who shone last season, let us down.
Disqualifications and injuries
All players are fit, only Herrera's appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Girona have scored goals in 11 of their previous 13 league matches
- Girona have not won away from home in 8 of their last 11 matches in La Liga

Estimated lineup : Gassaniga - Frances, Lopez, Blind, Gutierrez - Tsygankov, Martin, Solis, Gil - Ruiz, Danjuma.

2.08Tip and bets
Today, Girona will make its debut not only in the Champions League, but also in European competitions in general. It is far from certain that the visiting players are psychologically prepared for such a level, especially since they will be playing away against a formidable opponent. Girona performs much worse away even in La Liga than at home - only three wins in the last 11 matches. PSG is approaching the start of the Champions League in excellent shape, the Parisians have won all their official matches in Ligue 1, and have always won with an advantage of more than one goal, which is what we expect today.
Our prediction is PSG victory with Asian handicap (-1.5) for odds of 2.05
Bet on total
Girona plays open football, regardless of the opponent. The Spanish club's defense did not stand the test of strength in the confrontations with Atletico and Barcelona. PSG is certainly no worse in attack than these teams. With a high degree of probability, the upcoming game will be productive.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
In our betting tip, we expect PSG to spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal and make a large number of corner kicks. Note that in the six previous home matches in the Champions League, the Parisians made at least six corner kicks.
Betting Tip - PSG corners total over 5.5 with odds of 1.62
