The Parisians go into the match following a surprise nil-nil draw against Reims in Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain's superstars failed to ignite in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Now, Christophe Galtier looks to get his misfiring superstars to get a big win in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Benfica picked up a 4-2 win at the weekend in the Primeira Liga against Rio Ave. Roger Schmid’s Benfica are unbeaten this season in 16 matches in all competitions. The Eagles have a 6W-1D-0L record on the road this season, with 12 goals for and two against.
Benfica conceded a first-half goal to Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a Lionel Messi wonder strike, but a Danilo own goal squared the match. The Eagles had chances to win late in the game despite being outshot by PSG 15-8.
PSG should see plenty of the ball on Tuesday night. They kept 65% of the game’s possession on Champions League matchday No. 3. Playing at home should benefit Galtier’s team, especially after two straight draws in all competitions.
Sergio Ramos was sent off against Reims at the weekend in Ligue 1 but will be available to Galtier on Tuesday in the Champions League. Galtier won’t have Nuno Mendes due to a hamstring injury.
