PSG vs. Atletico Madrid Prediction
This could be a tricky match to predict this week, as neither side comes into the round in strong form.
However, PSG have an xG of 29.8 in matches this calendar year, and they will likely dominate the possession against a defensive-minded Atletico on Wednesday.
PSG’s attacking talent make them the standout prediction against a Spanish rival that have been poor on the road this season.
