All four teams have a chance of making progress from Champions League Group F after four Match Days, although Newcastle United are propping up the other teams in the section. After a draw against Milan and then a handsome victory over Paris Saint-Germain, the Tyneside outfit were turned over home and away against Borussia Dortmund which means they’re squarely behind the eight-ball.
A trip to the Parc des Princes looks to be a daunting one, with Newcastle’s European adventure potentially coming to a premature end, although third spot in this section would see them into the Europa League. Based on United’s performances at the San Siro and the Westfalenstadion, it’s hard to feel too confident that they will achieve a positive result.
Paris Saint-Germain have work on their hands to qualify for the last sixteen and they will want to finish top of their section in order to avoid one of the leading teams in the knockout stage. The bookmaker odds suggest that PSG are warm favourites to follow up those bloodless wins over Milan and Borussia Dortmund with another victory.
Kylian Mbappe is the obvious danger man and the forward has twenty-one goals on the board already this term, with talented teenager Warren Zaire-Emery also capable of causing damage. We think that PSG + BTTS No could be a sensible ploy considering how shot-shy Newcastle have been on the road in Europe this season.
