Paris Saint-Germain are set to play RB Leipzig at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Gerald Baticle's Angers in Ligue 1. Goals from Portuguese midfielder Danilo Pereira and French superstar Kylian Mbappe ensured victory for Mauricio Pochettino's Paris Saint-Germain. Midfielder Angelo Fulgini scored the consolation goal for Angers.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Christian Streich's Freiburg in the Bundesliga. A first-half penalty from Swedish forward Emil Forsberg for RB Leipzig was cancelled out by a second-half goal from South Korean attacker Jeong Woo-yeong for Freiburg.

Paris Saint-Germain vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Paris Saint-Germain are yet to find the perfect balance, as they seek to play the dangerous attack of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the first XI. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure to get things right, and one bad game could prove to be problematic.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, have endured a slow start under new manager Jesse Marsch. Their league form has not been fantastic, but getting out of a tough Champions League group would be a big positive for Marsch.

Paris Saint-Germain's talent means that they are the favourites to win almost every game they play this season.

Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 RB Leipzig
