Paris Saint-Germain will face PSV Eindhoven on the 3rd matchday. The young players of the Parisians have turned up the heat impressively in recent weeks and are showing that they are no longer dependent on established superstars like Kylian Mbappe, who left in the summer. With a mix of youthful dynamism and experience, they want to impress against the guests from Netherlands, who are also having a strong season. According to the current odds the French side is clear favorite for the win. Both teams will try to continue their strong form in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain continued the unbeaten season with 6 wins, 2 draws and with a 4-2 win against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening. However, the Parisians had to score late in their first game this season against Girona winning 1-0 before suffering a clear defeat against Arsenal 0-2. That is precisely why the French need three points to avoid falling behind in the race for the top eight places. PSV travel to Paris with an even stronger record from the Eredivisie. PSV Eindhoven have won their last nine league games, most recently with a 2-1 victory against AZ at the weekend. Despite this impressive form, they lost to Juventus on the first matchday of this league and had previously only been able to drew with Sporting Lisboa. Both teams are therefore challenged and it remains to be seen whether they can demonstrate their national dominance on the international stage.
