Both PSG and Atletico Madrid have a lot of ground to make up in the Champions League, each with just a single win to their name. As such they teeter on the edge of the qualification spots in the league.
Tonight’s game could prove crucial as they hope to secure some form to take into further games, but nothing has been certain on the continent for these two, and more of the same could be in store.
Neither of these sides has been majorly impressive in their Champions League efforts to this point, and little can be done to split them. Both the result and goals look too difficult to call, but corners look like they can be relied upon.
Both boast impressive attacking lineups, which of course is conducive to a high corner line, forcing defenders and keepers to take action and put the ball behind.
Corners seem to be able to be counted on, particularly at the Parc des Princes, with every single game played here seeing the over 9 line covered this term.
The Parisians will be depended on for the majority of these, having averaged 7.4 per match at home.
In a pitched continental battle, with two forward-playing sides, the corners could skyrocket, and the over-9 line looks comfortable in this one.
Paris may well be counting their lucky stars this evening, as Madrid comes into this clash, without a few of their star defenders.
This should prove conducive to PSG’s attack, and in turn bring a tonne of shots on targets with it, something Paris haven’t been short of of late either.
Ex-Chelsea man Cesar Azpilicueta is sidelined with a thigh injury, as the Spanish international CB, Robin Le Normand, is also out. This was then made even worse with this cente-half compatriot Gimenez getting suspended.
