- Competition: Champions League
- Date: 6th November 2024
- Kick-off: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Parc des Princes
Two sides that have not been able to make a statement in the Champions League this season meet in Paris on Wednesday night as PSG play host to Atletico Madrid.
After beating their title rivals Marseile over a week ago, Paris Saint-Germain had the chance to secure back to back wins for the first time since September when they welcomed Lens to Parc des Princes last weekend. An early strike from Dembele put Les Parisiens ahead with just four minutes on the clock and they held on to win 1-0. That win moved Paris Saint Germain six points clear at the top of the LIgue 1 standings but things aren't the same in the Champions League. Luis Enrique's men have taken just four points from three games and had to fight for a point against PSV last time out.
Atletico Madrid also bring a two games winning streak into Tuesday’s game, having beaten Vic and Las Palmas 4-0 on aggregate in the Copa del Rey and La Liga, respectively. The European campaign of the Spaniards started on a good note. They thrashed RB Leipzig 3-1 on Matchday 1 but their performances since then have been far from perfect. Diego Simeone's side suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Benfica on Matchday 2 and conceded three goals against Lille at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in their last outing.
PSG vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Atletico Madrid have been known in recent years as a team built around a solid defense, but that DNA has been missing this season. The visitors boast just two clean sheets in their last eight games and their recent defensive record in Europe is also poor. In fact, Los Colchoneros haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last seven Champions League encounters. Each of the last five yielded more than 2.5 goals and I fancy that run to be extended on Wednesday in Paris.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Atletico Madrid team news
Borja Garcés will once again be unavailable to Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone for the trip to France this week due to injury.
Garcés is nursing a cruciate ligament injury that has kept him out since April and should miss Wednesday’s game but the visitors don’t have any other injury concerns.
