Preview: PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir

Simply put, PSG's task in their upcoming fixture against Istanbul Basaksehir is quite simple: to win. Les Parisiens are one of three teams currently sitting on nine points, but fortunately for them, two of them, Manchester United, and RB Leipzig, will be locking horns on Tuesday as well. That means one of those two sides will have to drop points, and so if Thomas Tuchel's side can pick up a win here, they will be definitely on to the round of 16.

PSG defeated a ten-man Manchester United 3-1 to breathe life back into their Champions League campaign after there were fears that last season's runners-up could be making an early exit. They lost the Red Devils and Leipzig on matchdays one and three, but have since rebounded by beating both sides in the reverse fixtures and now are looking good to do a double over an Istanbul Basaksehir side who really will be simply playing for pride at this stage in time.

The hosts come into this game having ended their mini slump in Ligue 1 with a confidence-boosting 3-1 win over Montpellier, which is exactly the tonic they needed ahead of this must-win fixture.

As for the visitors, they pulled off a very impressive upset over Manchester United on matchday three that their fans will probably be telling their grandkids down the road. That being said, it remains their only win of what has been predictably a very difficult group stage campaign for the Turkish side, who were never expected to advance out of what arguably is one of the toughest quartets of this season's group stage.

They put up a very good fight, however, against Leipzig, and almost earned what would have been a very deserved three-all draw, only for die Roten Bullen to snatch a very late - and heartbreaking - injury time goal to end any hopes they may have had of even finishing third and potentially grabbing a Europa League spot.

Overall, Istanbul Basaksehir are winless in their last six games across all competitions, and that really could play perfectly into PSG's hands as they look to secure passage to the round of 16. On the other hand, with their pride at stake, the visitors could really try their best to put up a stern fight - after all, they did manage to beat Manchester United - so this will be a match that Les Parisiens won't want to take too lightly, either.
