Key Players to Watch in PSG vs Atletico Madrid
Bradley Barcola (PSG)
Bradley Barcola who scored his first goal for France during the last international break has been in solid form so far this season. The 22-year-old is currently Ligue 1’s top scorer with eight goals to his name.
Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)
The veteran attacker is known for his goalscoring instincts and has been dropping consistent performances for the Spanish giants over the last few seasons. The Frenchman has bagged four goals and five assists in 16 appearances across all competitions.
PSG vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
The French giants are still unbeaten in the domestic league so far but have struggled to win in their last two games before the clash against Strasbourg. The Parisians are now leading the Ligue 1 standings and have secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Lens in their latest tie. But Luis Enrique’s side had a disappointing start to the European campaign as they managed only four points from their opening three games. The Spaniard’s record in European competitions has been mediocre since his move to the French capital.
As for Atletico Madrid, they are witnessing a similar Champions League campaign as they have won one and lost two in Europe so far. Diego Simeone’s men currently sit outside of the playoff positions and have been vulnerable at the back throughout this campaign. They are yet to make their mark in this competition and have been suffering as of late.
