Current form: Red Star Belgrade vs PSG
After a blistering start to the season that saw them win their first 14 Ligue 1 games and set a record in the process, Les Parisiens have slowed down somewhat, and come into this game having drawn their last two games. However, despite dropping points, they are still unbeaten and sit 13 points clear over second-placed Lille. Furthermore, PSG's match against Montpellier last weekend was postponed, so Thomas Tuchel's men still do have a game in hand and arguably, with the Champions League coming up, the ex-Dortmund boss probably was not too worried with his side drawing 1-1 with Strasbourg last Wednesday.
PSG notably crushed Serbian outfit Red Star Belgrade 6-1 on matchday two and they will be looking to do a double over them as they aim to seal their spot in the round of 16. With Liverpool taking on top-placed Napoli, Les Parisiens know that a win would get them to the knockout stages; even a draw in Belgrade would suffice if Liverpool fail to win against the Partenopei.
The French giants' upcoming opponents have nothing really left but pride - and a possible spot in the Europa League - to play for at this point. However, given that they did manage to shock Liverpool at their home ground recently, Tuchel won't be underestimating the Serbian minnows, and will be very wary of a side who will be extra motivated to cause a major upset playing in front of their home fans.
Current position: Red Star Belgrade vs PSG
PSG are literally just a game away from confirming their place in the round of 16, but with Liverpool lurking behind, Les Parisiens can't leave anything to chance.
