Aston Villa
PSG will be without their captain and key defensive figure, Marquinhos, who is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.
This leaves some questions about the defensive setup, as Beraldo and Pacho are expected to form the central pairing. That’s the only real concern for this PSG side. Aside from this defensive gap, they appear well-equipped to handle Unai Emery’s well-drilled Aston Villa team.
Ultimately, this tie is likely to be decided by which side defends better over the two legs. On paper, PSG should have the edge. It's worth noting that Villa showed some vulnerabilities during the group stages, suffering defeats to smaller clubs compared to PSG losing 1-0 to both Monaco and Club Brugge.
What we say
PSG to Win
If PSG manage to keep a clean sheet in this first leg, it could be a major factor in deciding which team takes the upper hand in the tie. Given the firepower PSG possesses up front, we expect them to come out with an attacking mindset and put pressure on Villa’s often vulnerable defence from the very start.
