PSG and Manchester United face at Parc des Princes, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals), after the (0‑2) away win by PSG in the 1st leg match. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 2 matches they won 2. Manchester United registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.
The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 2 goals, after the (0‑2) away win in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 32 goals scored and 9 conceded; against 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at their stadium, with 46 goals scored and 8 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got an away win against Caen by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches PSG has won 9 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 26 of the last 30 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 24 out of 30 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 14 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 7 of those 14 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').
Paris Saint-Germain start with a 1-2 victory in the Caen field, adding to their seventh consecutive win in several competitions. We remember that the French won Manchester United in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League. One of Paris Saint-Germain's strengths is in the most offensive sector as they exhibit tremendous competence in fast transitions and finalization. In the tactical design of Thomas Tuchel we highlight the magic of Ángel Di María: this player owns great technical quality. On the other hand, the prodigy Kylian Mbappé is the great highlight of this team with 29 goals scored. For this game the coach does not have Neymar and Cavani, both injured.
After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 2 goals and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 31 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home win against Southampton by (3‑2). In the last 10 away matches Manchester United has won 8 and lost 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 17 of their 41 goals between minutes (31'‑45').
Manchester United kick-off for this motivated game after winning a 3-2 win at Southampton. It is important to point out that the English need to reverse a two-goal deficit by a 0-2 defeat in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League. Manchester United have a lot of proficiency in the offensive sector, however, the defensive line has been hampered on many occasions, with failures in defensive organization and standing blocks. It is inevitable to highlight the Belgian Lukaku: this player is one of the best scorers of Manchester United with 13 goals scored. For this game coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can not count on the suspended Pogba star, in addition to Matic, Valencia and Jones, these with physical problems.
