For the third time in the past 98 days, there will be a coaching duel between Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening. The match on the fourth matchday in the group stage is extremely important because in the event of an away win, the Bundesliga team could decisively open the door to the round of 16.

As can be seen from the betting base odds comparison, the odds of the best bookmakers in no way indicate such a guest triple before the match between PSG and RB Leipzig. On the contrary: Although there is a lot of pressure on the Parisian shoulders, the star ensemble around Neymar and Mbappé is clearly favoured.

The fact that last year’s finalist is struggling in the current season and is also complaining about personnel problems became obvious in the course of the preliminary round so far. Both the first leg against the “Red Bulls” and the game at home against Manchester United were lost 2-1 so that the French subscription champions have to clinch a victory in Prinzenpark on Tuesday.

Before the match PSG vs. With regard to the forecast, however, RB Leipzig should take into account that the Tuchel team were defeated 3: 4 in Monaco on Friday and also lost in four of the most recent six matches against German opponents in the premier class. Against this background, the “nail men” should also be expected to have a surprise in Paris.

PSG – Statistics & current form

For Thomas Tuchel and Paris St. Germain, Tuesday is all about everything. Should the finalist of the previous year lose at home to RB Leipzig, this would almost be equivalent to leaving the Champions League prematurely. Because it can be assumed that Manchester United will win against Basaksehir in a parallel game at home, the French series champions would only have a chance to make it to the round of 16 on the remaining two game days if they score six points more than the “Red Devils” and also a direct comparison wins.

A knockout in the preliminary round of the premier class would also lead to the fact that the German coach of the star ensemble would lose his job with immediate effect despite the national dominance. So there is no more pressure! This mental factor alone should be taken into account before a suitable tip is played between PSG and RB Leipzig.

Paris St. Germain is threatened with an early exit

From a purely statistical point of view, the fans of “Les Rouges et Bleu” needn’t worry too much, because the Parisians have never lost two consecutive home games in the Champions League in the club’s history. The two defeats in the current season should not be viewed too critically either. In the 1: 2 against ManUtd, the decisive winning goal of the English came only three minutes before the end; three weeks ago in the first leg against RBL, the French had to fight with a 20-minute shortfall.

Meanwhile, the tense personnel situation is causing a lot more headache. Gueye and Kimpembe will be absent on Tuesday. Bernat, Draxler, Icardi, Kehrer and Verratti have to pass due to injury. After all, with Marquinhos, Florenzi, Neymar, Danilo and Herrera, five key players are returning to the starting line-up, who were still on the bench or completely spared on Friday evening in the bitter 3: 4 defeat in Monaco (after 2-0 lead at halftime) were.

Probable lineup of PSG:
➤ Navas – Florenzi, Danilo, Diallo, Kurzawa – Herrera, Marquinhos (c), Rafinha – Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar

RB Leipzig – Statistics & current form

Julian Nagelsmann once worked for Thomas Tuchel at FC Augsburg as a scout. Now the 33-year-old could cost his former manager the job. Admittedly, Nagelsmann will not even care that much about ensuring the Paris exit. The focus is much more on one’s own fate. In the event of an away win in Prinzenpark, the semi-finalist from last season would hardly be able to take away the ticket for the round of 16 2020/21.

The “Red Bulls” will happily remember the first leg three weeks ago, when they fell 0-1 behind but turned the game around and ultimately won anything but undeserved 2-1. The Saxons once again confirmed their good performances in the premier class.

• “Mbappé and Neymar have shown that they can add a special touch to PSG’s game. We have to be prepared for that ” – RBL coach Nagelsmann

Only one defeat in the last seven matches in the Champions League group stage is as remarkable as the fact that Poulsen and Co. always scored at least two of their own in the six games mentioned that were not lost. If we exclude the slip at 0: 5 at Old Trafford at Manchester United, the Nagelsmann team won four of the last five guest appearances at the European Cup level and catapulted themselves to the semifinals in 2019/20.

Is Leipzig going under in Paris too?

Nevertheless, the current fourth in the table in the Bundesliga is often said to have a slight away phobia, which at least when looking at the latest results should not be referred to the realm of fables. In addition to the mentioned gossip in England, RBL also managed to win in the league in four attempts abroad. Against this background, we would be careful on Tuesday to allude the odds on a surprise coup between PSG and RB Leipzig.

But it is also a fact that the underdog would be satisfied with a draw and would continue to have the next round in their own hands. On the other hand, a defeat with a two-goal difference should be avoided, which would mean that the direct comparison also has to be pulled to Paris. Halstenberg, Hwang, Klostermann, Laimer and Mukiele will be missing. Instead, hopes rest on the best Leipzig all-time Champions League scorer Sabitzer and Emil Forsberg, who scored in four of the last five international matches.

Probable lineup of RB Leipzig:
➤ Gulacsi – Konate, Upamecano, Orban – Haidara, Sabitzer (c), Kampl, Angelino – Olmo, Nkunku – Poulsen

PSG vs RB Leipzig – Direct comparison / H2H balance

As mentioned at the beginning, it is the third direct duel in the last 100 days. In the semi-finals of the previous season, Paris St. Germain won 3-0 in Lisbon. Three weeks ago, the Nagelsmann team finally managed to get their revenge in a 2-1 home win.

In general, goals seem to be on the agenda when the “Red Bulls” face French opponents. In the last three guest appearances with RBL participation alone, 16 (!) Goals were scored against Monaco, Marseille and Lyon.

PSG vs RB Leipzig Betting Odds and Predictions

Although it is only the fourth of six match days, the tension will be noticeable on Tuesday evening in front of empty stands in Prinzenpark. Paris St. Germain actually has to win the home game against RB Leipzig in order to continue to squint towards the round of 16. Even a draw would put the Bundesliga team in a comfortable starting position before the remaining two games.

We, therefore, expect a highly motivated French team that would like to take the Red Devils as an example. As a reminder: ManUtd won their home game against Saxony 5-0 and inflicted their first away defeat in the premier class after five unbeaten games (four wins, one draw).

Key facts – PSG vs RB Leipzig tips

🔺 PSG have to win to keep their chances for the round of 16
🔺 RB Leipzig won only two of the last six competitive games abroad
🔺 Three weeks ago, the Bundesliga team won the first leg 2-1

In our opinion, it is difficult to filter out a suitable tip between PSG and RB Leipzig, especially since the home side is struggling with personnel problems. Nevertheless, we believe that the star ensemble around Neymar, Mbappé or Angel di Maria will not give themselves the nakedness of an early departure.
