PSG vs Manchester United Predictions

• Manchester United’s six competitive games this season have averaged 4.5 goals per game.
• Four of these six games have produced at least four goals.
• PSG have won seven of their last eight Champions League group stage matches.
• The hosts have averaged 3.2 goals per game in their last five outings.

Mbappe to continue fine goalscoring form

PSG came closer than they ever have before to lifting that elusive Champions League trophy last season, making it all the way to the final only to be beaten by a sensational Bayern Munich side.

Their campaign begins afresh on Tuesday and, while they were beaten, that run to the final will have boosted their confidence in the competition significantly.

The Ligue 1 giants started the Ligue 1 season poorly after many of their key players were ruled out due to COVID-19, but their 4-0 thrashing of Nimes on Saturday marked their fifth consecutive win and a Kylian Mbappe brace continued his excellent start to the season.

PSG’s star youngster has scored four goals in four appearances this season and was their top scorer in the Champions League last season with five goals in ten outings. He has scored 27 goals in his last 34 appearances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and backing him to terrorise this Manchester United defence looks excellent value.

Red Devils start to make amends

Manchester United took a small step towards making amends for their disastrous performance against Spurs before the international break, thrashing Newcastle 4-1 at St James’ Park thanks to three late goals. The Red Devils dominated proceedings and fully deserved their win, but serious questions continue to hang over their defensive capabilities.

They have conceded 12 goals in six competitive appearances this season, and with 15 goals scored at the other end it’s made for some very entertaining matches. These six games have averaged 4.5 goals per game, so we can expect plenty of goalmouth action in Paris.

Goals galore at Parc des Princes

PSG have seen 11 goals in their last two matches as well, and the last meeting between these teams ended 3-1 to Man Utd at the Parc des Princes. Four of the visitors’ six games have produced at least four goals, and we think backing over 3.5 goals is a good choice here as well.

Manchester United may have won four of their last five, but they have looked incredibly open at the back at times and PSG’s star-studded attack could make a mockery of Maguire and company. The Parisians have averaged 3.2 goals per game in their last five matches, and a 3-1 correct score prediction appeals.
