The UEFA Champions League never fails to excite and following the departure of two giants on Tuesday evening, there are two more fixtures on Wednesday. One of them sees Manchester United make the trip to the French capital to face PSG.
The first-leg meeting was the first between these two sides in the Champions League and it obviously ended 2-0 to PSG who were the visitors. They faced in the summer of 2015 in a friendly match and the scoreline was exactly the same which doesn’t bode well for the English giants.
It would take a huge meltdown for PSG to be knocked out at this stage as one goal would add to the two vital away goals they scored a couple of weeks ago. Although, they are without Neymar and potentially Edinson Cavani who both missed the first leg. Latest matches: Paris St Germain

As mentioned, it will be very hard for PSG not to qualify for the quarter final and considering the injury crisis at United, they are expected to add to the healthy advantage. The visitors’ firepower is significantly weakened so backing the home side to win to nil looks very good value.
