It is interesting that this will be their first clash since 1996. The Saints have been playing great since the beginning of the season and are big favorites in this duel, but even though Juventus’ form is not that good, they also have their advantages.

Paris Saint-Germain
The Parisians have had an excellent team for the last ten years. Their owners invest abnormal amounts of money to gather the best players who will bring this team the European title. However, they still haven’t realized that dream, and they came closest to it in 2020, when they were defeated by Bayern in the final.
Last season, they were already eliminated in the round of 16 by Real Madrid, which was marked as a great embarrassment. Because of this, manager Mauricio Pochettino was fired at the end of last season, and Christophe Galtier was appointed as the new manager.
Paris Saint-Germain does not have an adequate rival in the domestic championship. In the first six rounds, they recorded five wins and one draw. They drew against Monaco 1-1. In the other five games, they scored 23 goals, which is an average of 4.6.
They enter the new UEFA Champions League campaign with huge ambitions, so we believe that they will fiercely attack Juventus from the first minute in order to take the lead in the early stages of the match.
Juventus
Juventus did not have the best start to the new competitive year. In the first five rounds of the Italian championship, they did not lose, but they achieved three draws. The Bianconeri have yet to win away from home and have scored only two goals. At home, they are much more efficient and they mostly record victories there.
Numerous injuries created problems for coach Massimiliano Allegri at the beginning of the season. The starting goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is out of the team, and Leonardo Bonucci is not yet fit enough, so Danilo played as a center-back in the match against Fiorentina last weekend, which is not his natural position.
Paul Pogba still hasn’t made his debut, while Angel Di Maria has also been out of the squad for a few games, but he is now healthy and will be in the squad for the match in Paris. The only thing that the coaching staff can be happy about is the excellent form of Dusan Vlahovic, who has already scored four goals and is one of the best scorers in Serie A.
H2H
Believe it or not, these two last met in the UEFA Super Cup in 1996 when Juventus won 9-2 on aggregate.
Expected lineups
Paris Saint-Germain (3-4-2-1): Donnarumma; Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Ramos; Mendes, Sanches, Verratti, Hakimi; Messi, Neymar; Mbappe
Juventus (4-3-3): Perin; Alex Sandro, Danilo, Bremer, Cuadrado; McKennie, Paredes, Locatelli; Kostić, Di Maria, Vlahovic
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Juventus Prediction
We are of the opinion that the football players of Paris Saint-Germain are playing significantly better than Juventus at the moment. The team from Turin had big problems against much weaker teams at the beginning of this season and we think that they will not do very well in Paris. PSG is simply too strong.
