PSG v Aston Villa Preview

PSG’s Form      

PSG have dominated domestically for over a decade following their 1-0 win over Angers at the weekend it secured their fourth successive Ligue 1 title and made it 11 wins in the last 12 seasons. However, even with blindingly obvious riches, superstar signings and more money pumped into the club than the average country, the Champions League still alludes them. Though Mbappé departed for Madrid last summer that’s arguably made their squad more balanced than ever before.

Their Champions League campaign commenced slowly with just 4 points from their opening 5 games to put their qualifying hopes in jeopardy. However, three successive wins including a 4-2 win over Man City secured their pathway into an all-French playoff, quickly dismantling Brest 10-0 over both legs. Their Round of 16 saw them dominate Liverpool in the first leg before losing 0-1 they got their 0-1 win back in the second leg though before winning 1-4 on penalties.

This PSG side is quietly going under the radar despite still having some quality all across the pitch and this time in a more balanced team than ever making them a dangerous prospect in this competition.

Aston Villa’s Form     

The 24/25 Aston Villa season under Unai Emery has been one which has seen the club continue their upward trajectory from the previous season when they finished 4th in the league whilst also reaching a Conference League Semi-Final. They’ve continued to balance both Domestic and European commitments this season. With 7 Premier League games, they’re 7th and just 2 points behind Chelsea in fourth.

It was always going to be interesting to see how they took to life in the Champions League, but they performed exceptionally with 16 points from their 5 matches to earn them the last automatic round of 16 spot. They most recently avenged their 1-0 loss to Club Brugge in the league phase to defeat them 6-1 on aggregate to book their place in another European quarter-final.

Another interesting subplot will be the return of Unai Emery to the club he managed from 2016-2018 winning 5 trophies including the 17/18 Ligue 1.

This will be the first competitive meeting between both sides.

Key Players To Watch

Ousmane Dembele – PSG

There are few footballers with the raw talent that the PSG attacker (27) has and it’s important not to forget that Barcelona once paid €135.00m for his services from Dortmund back in 2017. Although he’s struggled with consistency and fitness when at his best it’s easy to see why Barcelona once valued him so highly. Everything he does then is to a world-class standard with pace, skill and an elite level of dribbling ability while having the end product to provide assists and score goals.

This season he’s taken the mantle as the main man for PSG scoring 32 times and assisting 8 across 40 games in all competitions. In the Champions League that record is 7 goals and 1 assist in 10 games. He is 7/2 to score first or EVS to score any time.

Marcus Rashford - Aston Villa

There’s very little to say that hasn’t been said when it comes to Marcus Rashford (27) both in a positive and negative sense. However, the one thing that can’t be dismissed is despite his clear talent, his stock has fallen considerably, which is why he was sent to Aston Villa on loan.

Rashford is a confidence player and he looks to be slowly growing again with 3 goals and 4 assists across 12 games since signing for Aston Villa. He’s downed PSG before in the Champions League and with speculation of a move to Paris in the summer, he can be gotten at 10/1 to score first or 3/1 to score at any point.

PSG v Aston Villa Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: PSG 2-0 Aston Villa

PSG’s early season form in the Champions League has meant they’ve gone quietly under the radar but their tie victory over Liverpool shows they’re major contenders.

Villa’s rise has been brilliant and manager Unai Emeyr will know the Parc des Princes well.

PSG may just do enough but it’ll be no easy task.

Best Bet: Under 2.5 Total Goals @ 6/4
