Aston Villa Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Aston Villa Predicted Lineup: Martinez; Maatsen, Torres, Konsa, Cash; Kamara, Tielemans; Malen, Asensio, Rodgers; Watkins

There is a mixed bag of stats for Aston Villa going into this game.

On the one hand, Aston Villa have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight home matches and have managed to escape defeat at Villa Park in each of their last 17 meetings.

However, their European record boasts a worrying trend, having been knocked out on both of their last two European knockout stages when they have lost the first leg.

Paris Saint Germain Preview

Formation: 4-3-3

Paris Saint Germain Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma; Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos, Hakimi; Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Returning from suspension that saw him miss the first leg, club captain Marquinhos is expected to slot right back into his spot in the defensive areas.

Shining for PSG in their Champions League campaign, right back Achraf Hakimi has provided five assists so far and sits joint second for most assists in this instalment competition.

Head-to-Head Stats
