Paris Saint-Germain are back at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, looking to extend their home dominance in the Champions League as they face Tottenham Hotspur. This is their second meeting of the season, following PSG’s dramatic Super Cup win in August, which ended 2-2 before the French side edged Spurs 4-3 on penalties, reported by SoftFootball.
The hosts are coming off a comfortable 3-0 Ligue 1 win over Le Havre after a narrow 2-1 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, which tested their resilience. Despite that hiccup, PSG have been relentless in Europe this season, scoring freely in almost every group-stage game, reminding everyone why they remain the defending champions.
Tottenham, by contrast, are entering this match on a more fragile note. The North London derby against Arsenal ended in a humiliating 4-1 defeat, leaving fans frustrated and calling for a rethink of Thomas Frank’s tactics.
Still unbeaten in the group stage with two wins and two draws, Spurs are battling a long list of injuries, including key names like Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke.
Frank admitted in the press conference, which was shared on their official X account, that the loss was a tough watch but insisted the team has learnt from setbacks, emphasising that reaction and resilience are key in a season filled with ups and downs.

Team News
PSG will be without Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué, while Ousmane Dembélé is a doubt after returning from a calf issue. Nuno Mendes may miss out, but Marquinhos could celebrate his 500th appearance if fit, a milestone Luis Enrique described as incredible for a true leader.
Tottenham are short-handed, with Brennan Johnson suspended, Solanke injured, and Kulusevski sidelined, forcing Frank to adapt his usual setup.
Nonetheless, Luis Enrique still believes it will be a difficult match for his team and said in the press conference shared on the team’s official X account that he hopes they play a very good match in front of their fans.

SoftFootball’s Prediction
Despite Spurs’ European resilience, PSG’s combination of home advantage, attacking firepower, and Spurs’ defensive injuries makes a home victory likely. Expect João Neves to continue his scoring streak and for PSG to edge a tense encounter. Tottenham can challenge and perhaps score on the counter, but breaking down a motivated PSG at the Parc des Princes will be a tough ask.
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur.
