PROGRES.ID – Newcastle United will host Paris Saint-Germain on matchday 2 of Group F in the 2023/2024 Champions League at St. James’ Park on Thursday (10/5/2023) in the early hours of WIB (Western Indonesia Time). This match is predicted to be thrilling, given that both teams have balanced strengths.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United is currently in second place in Group F’s standings with 1 point, following a goalless draw against AC Milan in the opening match. The Magpies have been solid in defense, keeping a clean sheet in their last 5 matches in all competitions.
However, Newcastle United still has issues in the attacking department. They have only scored 1 goal in their last 5 matches, which poses a challenge for them to find the net against PSG, who have a strong defense.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain is at the top of Group F’s standings with 3 points, having won 2-0 against Borussia Dortmund in the opening match. PSG boasts a highly talented squad, with Kylian Mbappe as their key player in the attack.
However, PSG also has concerns in their defensive line, conceding 2 goals in their last 2 matches. This is a point of concern for PSG, especially as they will face Newcastle United, who have a fairly dangerous attacking line.
Prediction
Newcastle United has a chance to snatch points from PSG in this match. The Magpies have high confidence, having held AC Milan to a draw in the opening match.
However, PSG remains the favorite to win this match. PSG’s strong squad will pose a significant challenge for Newcastle United.
Score Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
