Team News

RB Salzburg

RB Salzburg have failed to perform consistently both in the Austrian Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League this season, and they have a mammoth task in front of them as they are set to face the French champions. Former Liverpool assistant manager Pepijin Lijnders joined the club as head coach this summer, but could not produce the expected result as of now.

Die Roten Bullen have lost 4 out of their five UCL outings this season, as their only win came against Feyenoord in November. Salzburg also faced a distressing 0-5 thrashing against Bayern Leverkusen in their last Champions League appearance. Conceding 15 goals in 5 UCL matches so far, Salzburg are positioned 32nd with only 3 points by their name.

RB Salzburg are also struggling in the Austrian Bundesliga this season, as they are in the 5th position in the league table, having bagged 23 points in 15 matches. The team has managed to win only one win in their last five outings across all competitions; the game against Paris Saint-Germain can be a turning point in their tumultuous season.

Coach Pepijin Lijnders will have to exclude important players from the squad against PSG, such as Maurits Kjærgaard, Aleksa Terzic, Karim Konaté, Leandro Morgalla, and Kamil Piatkowski who are suffering from different injuries.

The qualification hopes for RB Salzburg are gradually fading away and they will surely step up to keep their chances alive before the last two games in the UCL group phase.

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain are on a 3-match winless streak across all competitions and are struggling to conjugate in the UCL this season. The team has accumulated only 4 points in 5 UCL matches and stands in the 25th position in the league table. The Parisian side has lost two back-to-back UCL matches against Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, and their time is running out to save their qualification hopes.

However, the tussles between coach Luis Enrique and players such as Donnarumma and Dembele have surely affected the environment of the team, but the French side will give their all to break their winless streak. PSG only managed to win one game in their UCL campaign this season, against Girona in the opening match-day. To keep their qualification hopes alive, PSG must win this game to stay in the knockout scenario.

Coach Luis Enrique will have to set the team roster without the services of Ousmane Dembele who is suspended for the game. Senny Mayulu, Lucas Hernández, and Presnel Kimpembe will miss the match due to different injuries.

The Parisian side will try their ultimate best to turn their season around from this point, and Luis Enrique will also find a way to dilute the mounting pressure on him.
