Goaloo Preview
It's very difficult to praise the players from Austria. In the Champions League, they are struggling: 32nd place in the standings. First of all, it's necessary to note the hosts' ineffectiveness in attack. They traditionally have many talented players, but the former boldness seen in previous squads is no longer there. The team often tries to take control of the ball (50.2%). However, their opponent is PSG. Lengthy possessions will be fraught with dangerous counterattacks from the opponent. Therefore, they will need to pay great attention to defense, saturating the holding midfield and the backline as a whole. Yes, this doesn't help the team – after five rounds, they have conceded 15 goals.

PSG approaches this match as one of the underdogs in the Champions League standings. After five rounds, the Parisians have only 4 points. The upcoming match is one of their few chances in this campaign to play from a position of strength. The visitors have no problems retaining possession (60.8%), but they struggle with finishing. The team has created chances worth almost 8 goals but has scored only three times so far. The situation is somewhat dampened by Dembele's suspension.

Goaloo Prediction
Bookmakers consider the visitors favorites. We completely agree with this, as the difference in skill level is immeasurable. Enrique is instilling total football in the French giant, which should start working sooner or later. In a game against Salzburg, who often create trouble for themselves at their own goal, they can finally please fans with high scoring. A sudden counterattack by Salzburg resulting in a goal would not surprise us, but we still lean towards a success for the visitors: a likely score looks like 1:3. We consider a bet on PSG to win with a handicap (-1) to be rational.

Pick:Paris Saint-Germain Handicap(-1)
