The Newcastle United team will challenge the Paris Saint-Germain team in a 2e ronde UEFA Champions League in St. James’ Park Stadium, Newcastle upon Tyne on Wednesday, October 04, 2023. For streaming coverage of Newcastle United vs PSG, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Newcastle will face a tough challenge when they host PSG at home to St James’ Park in the middle of the week, Wednesday (4/10) in the context of the second match in Group F of the 2023/24 Champions League preliminary round. This is a group that is nicknamed the hell group with the presence of 4 strong teams, namely Newcastle, PSG, Dortmund and Milan.
Newcastle is in impressive form in the Premier League, unbeaten in the last 5 matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding none. They are currently in 3rd place in the standings, only 2 points behind leaders Liverpool. However, when they enter the Champions League, they have to face bigger challenges. In the first match, they only got one point after a 0-0 draw against Milan at the San Siro.
In that match, they were heavily pressured by Milan in terms of play, opportunities and statistics. They only had 6 shots, of which only 1 was on target, compared to Milan’s 25 shots, of which 8 were on goal. They also only had 1 corner, compared to Milan’s 8. Goalkeeper Nick Pope had to make 8 saves, while goalkeeper Mike Maignan from Milan only had to guard the goal once.
This shows that Newcastle still has many shortcomings when playing in the most prestigious competition in Europe. They are not yet on par with big teams like Milan or PSG. Ahead of the match against PSG, they also have to face the problem of player strength.
They were without centre-back Sven Botman, midfielders Joseph Willock, Harvey Barnes and striker Callum Wilson due to injury. Coach Eddie Howe remained confident when he emphasized that his team could close down the space for PSG’s stars, especially super striker Kylian Mbappe. However, it is not an easy task.
PSG is still one of the strong candidates to win the Champions League, even though they have lost Lionel Messi, Neymar or Sergio Ramos. They now have a talented and experienced coach, namely Luis Enrique, who once led Barcelona to 3 Champions League titles.
In the first match, PSG had won easily 2-0 over Dortmund at home to gain a certain advantage in the hellish group. They have played their way and have not given Dortmund many dangerous chances. They scored two goals in the second half thanks to goals from Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi.
They have controlled the ball 71% of the time and have had 18 shots, of which 7 were on target, compared to Dortmund’s 8 shots, of which only 2 were on goal. They also had 9 corners, compared to Dortmund’s 3. Goalkeeper Keylor Navas didn’t have to work too hard, while Dortmund’s Roman Burki had to make 5 saves.
With what they have done and are doing, PSG can be confident when they come as guests to Newcastle headquarters. They will not let Newcastle spring a surprise, but will play their way and achieve a second straight win in the hellish group. They will prove that they are still one of the strongest teams in Europe, even though they have lost big stars. They will play attacking and dominate Newcastle in the Champions League.
