PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur...

Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur, currently lacking confidence, will face Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League.

This match is a rematch of August’s UEFA Super Cup final, where Spurs had a 2-0 lead but ultimately drew 2-2 before falling to PSG in a penalty shootout.

Spurs suffered a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday, delivering another disappointing performance, particularly in attack. Frank is without several key attacking players due to injuries, but fans expect more goal-scoring opportunities. There is growing frustration with Frank’s defensive tactics among supporters. Despite their Premier League woes, Spurs remain unbeaten in the Champions League with eight points and are only three points off the top four. Perhaps it’s time for everyone to ease up on their criticism of Frank and the team?

In their previous Champions League outing, PSG was defeated at home by Bayern Munich. However, Luis Enrique has faced his own set of injury challenges early in the season, yet PSG has managed to thrive. The reigning European champions have won three of their four Champions League matches this season and currently lead Ligue 1. They are smoothly finding their rhythm again and are seen as strong contenders for back-to-back titles.

PSG team news and focus

Ousmane Dembélé, the star attacker and reigning Ballon d’Or winner, might return after his injury against Bayern. However, Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue are still sidelined. PSG rested numerous players during their recent 3-0 victory over Le Havre, showcasing their squad depth. The midfield trio of Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz plays a crucial role in executing the high press, which allows attackers Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Goncalo Ramos, and Bradley Barcola ample opportunities to score.

Tottenham Hotspur team news and focus

Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and Yves Bissouma are unavailable, while Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, and Kota Takai are nearing their return. Spurs must find the right balance in midfield and attack as Frank experiments with different lineups. It’s likely he will utilize a back five against PSG, a strategy that started well in the Super Cup final, focusing on creating chances from set-pieces and counterattacks. Expect newcomers Brennan Johnson, Mathys Tel, Pedro Porro, and Xavi Simons to feature prominently in the lineup against PSG.
