PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir Soccer Betting Tips – Champions League
For the second time since the arrival of QSI at the head of the club, PSG had to really fight in this group to qualify for the 1 / 8th finals of the Champions League. And yet, this is not done for the Parisians who must still ensure it by drawing at least a draw in this match even if the victory would ensure them the 1st place. In great danger at the end of the first leg following its defeats against Manchester United (1-2) and Leipzig (2-1) and its only victory at Istanbul BB (0-2), PSG has recovered. to win against Leipzig (1-0) and Manchester United (1-3) last week without giving the impression of usual control. In Ligue 1, Thomas Tuchel’s men are also at the top of the standings but they have only 2 points of margin over their competitors before facing Montpellier on Saturday night. Moreover, they remain on two poor performances achieved against Monaco (3-2) and Bordeaux (2-2).
Legitimately considered as the worst team in this group H, Istanbul Basaksehir logically closes the ranks with 3 small points in this group following the only victory obtained against Manchester United (2-1) during the 3rd day. Otherwise, they had to lose to Leipzig (2-0), PSG (0-2), Manchester United (4-1) and against Leipzig (3-4) again last week at the very end. meeting. Following these setbacks, they have therefore definitely said goodbye to Europe this season. Far from being at their best in their own championship, the Stambouliotes are only 9th in the standings with 14 points taken during the first 10 days. Beaten by Besiktas (3-2) then held in check by Denizlispor (3-3), they will try to return to victory against Yeni Malatyaspor this weekend.
The workforce for PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir
PSG will a priori still be deprived of the titular left side Bernat and the usual substitutes Sarabia, Icardi and Draxler who are on the sidelines at the end of the calendar year. Decisive against Manchester United, Neymar was the great man of the victory of the Parisians against the Red Devils. Mbappé, for his part, has not scored a single goal in the Champions League in 2020 and seems to be going through a significant period of doubt lately. In the middle, the return of Verratti allowed the champions of France to regain much greater control of the ball. All three left to rest this weekend in the league, Verratti, Kimpembe and Neymar should be established.
The Istanbul BB will make the trip to the City of Light without the important Junior Caiçara and Aleksic who are still stuck in the infirmary. In attack, the Bosnian Visca (3 goals – 1 assist) and Norwegian Gulbrandsen (5 league goals) are the most effective in front of the French Crivelli and the experienced Demba Ba. On the other hand, against Leipzig, it was midfielder Kahveci who stood out by scoring a hat-trick. Due to the lack of stake for the Turks, the technician of this formation could be tempted to run.
