Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will host Napoli on Matchday to the 3rd Champions League this season at the Parc des Princes, on Thursday, midweek. This game will probably be a nostalgic match for Partenopei Carlo Ancelotti, Napoli coach.
PSG is in a pretty good performance. In Ligue 1, PSG still leads the top of the standings. They have always won in the last 10 matches. This is a record, the only European club that has been unbeaten since Ligue 1 took place. PSG's victory is nothing but a factor of three great players in the front especially Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian Mbappe, so far in six games he has scored nine goals. Defeating the achievements of Neymar, who was brendol at an expensive price by PSG. Since the start of the Champions he has scored two goals and one assist. The contribution is clear that Mbappe will be a key player on the PSG front line this season.
The defeat only happened once at the beginning of the Champions opener this season, when PSG visited Liverpool headquarters at Anfield with a final score of 3-2. In the first round, PSG immediately fell behind by two goals but the position could be equalized during the second half. But in the final minute Liverpool added a goal until the position changed and PSG lost with a score of 3-2.
After the defeat, PSG can bounce back. Of the six matches that took place, Thomas Tuchel's team has collected 26 goals and conceded just three goals. Of course that will be frightening news for Ancelotti's team who will face Kylian Mbappe and friends.
However, Napoli since being in the hands of Ancelotti should not be underestimated. So far, he has managed to bring the team to the first place in Group C Champions League 2018/2019, thanks to a single and once a draw. A pretty good performance was seen when Ancelotti's side beat Liverpool 1-0 in Matchday 2. Maybe this will be a consideration for the French giants.
On the other hand, Napoli has one key player. He is Lorenzo Insigne. Lorenzo Insigne has made Liverpool have to submit to Napoli on Matchday two with his only goal. In Serie A, he has scored six goals and one assist. In the Champions Insigne just scored one goal. This match will be a moment, for him to add a collection of goals.
In all competitions this season, Napoli have only lost once. With strength that is quite effective, making this fight interesting enough to watch. Considering these two teams will attack each other. And coupled with the romance of Ancelotti who also trained PSG in 2011 to 2013.
Head to Head and score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) vs Napoli
Both teams rarely meet. But at the 2014 meeting, PSG won the match with a final score of 2-1 in the test match. PSG's last five meetings with France in Ligue 1, PSG are still unbeaten.
Likewise with Napoli, in the last five games in Serie A also never defeated. Coupled with the victory in Matchday's second Champions league when defeating Liverpool, will be the capital of awakening and motivation to beat PSG in this match.
Seeing from the meeting of these two teams and from a review of some previous matches. I concluded, Prediction of the final matchday Match 3, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 1-1 Napoli. Both are strong. What about your prediction?
