Coming up tomorrow is the continuation of this weeks champions league round of 16 matchday, as Man United who are under pressure of elimination will be facing the in form PSG for a chance to overturn their 2-0 home defeat.
The focus in this fixture will be on Man United due to their current situation, to see how they will approach this game to try to turn the table around and go through.
PSG are undoubtedly the Ligue 1 winners again this season considering their massive gap at the top. They are bossing the French League and are also doing fantastic in the champions league which resulted in a first leg 2nil away win at Old Trafford. They are in a very good position at the moment and will be going into this game to see the tie to the finish line and will be really disappointed if they fail to go through. Nevertheless, the tie is not over yet as a 2 nil lead isn’t a big deal in the champions league.
Man United are in a very good moment in the premier league but haven’t looked good enough in the champions league. They have a very big task on their hands to get the job done against PSG in Paris. Overturning a 2-0 deficit isn’t too much of a hustle, but will be extremely difficult to pull against a very strong side like PSG in Paris. Nonetheless, all hope is not lost for them as it is still achievable if they put in a greater performance and are very clinical in front of goal.
On paper, PSG are favorites to go through, but it will be a tough battle for both teams.
PSG vs Man United
This is a very exciting and at the same time a very nervy fixture for the fans in a game that will see one of the two teams exit the competition.
For PSG, they will be going into this game full of confidence, knowing that they have what it takes to see this tie off. They are favorites to go through based on their away win aggregate. So for them, all they need is to avoid defeat at home. Nevertheless, they still have a lot of work to do as Man United will be coming with a do-or-die mindset.
For Man United, this is a do-or-die game for them and another major test for Solskjaer. The team have done really well so far under the new manager but will have a different set of difficulty against PSG tomorrow. They are playing away which makes the tie a very difficult one for them, but Solskjaer has proved already that he is capable of doing great things in the big games, so they need to put in a performance above 100% if they are to get the desired result tomorrow.
My Expectations in Terms of Tactics and Gameplay
For PSG, they will most likely use a 4-3-3 formation but with a slightly different approach. They know they are already very close to the finish line, which means that they will most likely be too offensive and be more conservative a cautious. It will be a very difficult game for them, and they will be facing a team that will be fighting like wounded Lions.
For Man United, they will possibly set up in a 4-3-3 formation. Their gameplan will be to all-out attack, to try to score as many goals as possible. They have nothing to lose at this point which means that they will go to PSG to fight and try to turn the table around in their favor.
And that is a wrap…
