Champions League, played Wednesday, September 18th, 2024
Here is our PSG v Girona tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a PSG home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Similar to Manchester City's exploits in the Premier League, French hosts, PSG, racked up a fourth consecutive win in Ligue 1 on the weekend when Luis Enriques's side registered a 3-1 home win against Brest and the hosts will no doubt be looking for more of the same when they entertain Spanish side Girona at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.
Previous victories against Le Havre 4-1 away from home, Montpellier 6-0 and a 3-1 win on the road at Lille gave PSG the perfect start to their season and together with the recent 3-1 win against Brest, that means the hosts have plundered a total of 16 goals in their opening four league games this season.
The wider picture shows that eight out of PSG's last 10 games in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals so the prospect of further goals in this opening Champions League match for PSG looks highly likely.
PSG have won five of their last 10 home games overall while seven of their last 10 home games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.
Girona suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Barcelona on the weekend in the Spanish top flight which ended previously encouraging back-to-back wins against Osasuna and Sevilla but overall results in all competitions in recent times have been fairly disappointing for the visitors.
Indeed, Girona have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 12 games which also includes an earlier 2-0 win away from home at Napoli but also includes slipping to five defeats in the process as well.
Three of these five losses were inflicted upon Girona on their travels with losses incurred at Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Atletico Madrid, the former two being in friendlies and the latter being in La Liga, while the bigger picture shows the Spanish visitors have registered just four wins in their last 16 outings on the road and slipping to a total of eight defeats as well.
PSG v Girona Verdict
PSG with home advantage should score an easy victory here at the Parc des Princes and there should be a sprinkling of goals into the bargain.
Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50
Other side bets worth considering:
PSG win & Over 2 goals @ 1.75
Correct Score: PSG 3-1 @ 11.00
