PSG sign off for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League as they host Club Brugge at Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
The Ligue 1 giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Lens in their previous outing, with Georginio Wijnaldum rescuing a point for them thanks to an injury-time winner.
Club Brugge have lost three games in a row in the competition but have fared better in the Belgian Pro League and recorded a 3-2 win over RFC Seraing on Sunday, with all goals scored in the first half.
The two sides met in the reverse fixture in the opening match of the Champions League campaign in September. The game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
The game's outcome won't affect PSG's position in the Group A standings but a win here might help the visiting side secure a place in the Europa League knockout rounds.

PSG vs Club Brugge Prediction
PSG have just one win in their last four outings across all competitions and their last two league games have ended in draws. With Neymar ruled out through injury, their output in the final third has taken a hit.
Club Brugge have scored three goals in their last three games and will fancy their chances in front of goal against PSG, who have conceded twice in their last two Champions League games.
PSG have struggled at both ends of the pitch in their recent fixtures but both of their wins in the competition have come at home, so they are the favorites here. Club Brugge have conceded five goals in their travels and have scored three of their five goals in their away games.
