The UEFA Champions League match between Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain will take place at St. James' Park on Thursday at 12:30 am IST.
The French champions are set to make an exciting visit to St James’ Park for a highly anticipated Champions League Group F match where Newcastle United will be the hosts. Eddie Howe’s team made a strong return to top-level European competition, securing a hard-fought 0-0 draw against AC Milan in their first match. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0. Newcastle showcased their resolute defense, a crucial factor in their return to European competition after a 20-year absence. They faced AC Milan at the San Siro and remained rigid despite the hostile atmosphere. AC Milan had several opportunities but couldn’t capitalize on them.
Newcastle goes into this game in excellent form, with a three-game winning streak in September. They scored nine goals in their last three matches, including a remarkable 8-0 win against Sheffield United and a victory over Manchester City in the EFL Cup. Newcastle’s home record has been impressive, with only five competitive defeats since the beginning of 2022, three of which were against Liverpool. This match marks the return of Champions League football to St James’ Park for the first time since August 2003, when they were eliminated in qualifying against Partizan on penalties under Sir Bobby Robson.
Although they started the season with a statement 4-0 win over Marseille, PSG has dropped points in four out of seven Ligue 1 games. They were held to a 0-0 draw by Clermont over the weekend and currently sit in fifth place in the league standings. However, PSG have been unbeaten in nine consecutive away games since their 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich seven months ago. Despite these statistics, PSG has struggled to keep clean sheets in Champions League away matches, going 13 games without one. With only two wins in their last nine European away matches, Newcastle’s fans have reasons to be hopeful for their team’s first competitive clash with PSG.
Newcastle United’s probable starting lineup: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, Longstaff, Tonali, Guimaraes, Almiron, Isak, Gordon
Paris Saint-Germain’s probable starting lineup: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez, Vitinha, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
