Istanbul Basaksehir vs PSG
UEFA Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 28 October 2020
Kick-Off at 17.55 UK
Venue: Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu.
UCL season 2019/20 finalists have picked up some great form lately and returned to Ligue 1 throne. PSG are also considered massive favorites to conquer Istanbul and take all three points at low 1.20 odds.
Istanbul Basaksehir are looking like completely different squad than one which won Turkey Super Lig last season, but in negative context. They hardly win games on domestic scene nowadays, while also performing poorly in UEFA Champions League premiere match last week.
Can this upcoming clash against Paris SG be any different?
There were no previous head to head matches between Istanbul Basaksehir and Paris SG.
Istanbul Basaksehir are having issues in every single segment so far this season. Their efficiency is low considering the quality (bagged only seven goals in six Super Lig matches), while keeping only two clean sheets. There are some signs of improvement though. The squad demolished Antalyaspor at this stadium on Saturday, winning the match 5-1 FT. Bosnian winger Edin Visa was the man of the match with two goals and one assist. That was second consecutive win in Super Lig after winning derby game against Trabzon on 17th October.
PSG are not in a position to calculate anymore when it comes to Champions League. They are in a serious group with RB Leipzig and Manchester United with zero points after losing home ground against the Red Devils last week. Neymar and co have reacted positively to that loss, destroying Dijon as hosts last weekend 4-0 FT. Moise Kean had a great debut, scoring two goals. We believe PSG will manage to beat Istanbul on Wednesday, but concede at least one goal too.
