Paris must win in Salzburg to finish in the top 24. Prediction, 10.12.24
Both teams fight for the 2nd victory in the Champions League
Red Bull Salzburg have only won one match in the top flight so far this year and are only 32nd in the table. Now the next top opponent awaits with Paris St. Germain, where they go into the game as clear underdogs. In the league, however, they were able to land a blow a few days ago and thus gain some self-confidence. Paris will have to work on this again. The actual co-favorites for the title are only in 25th place after matchday 5 and therefore outside the play-off places. Since the narrow 1:0 opening win against Girona, they have not been able to win a game, but have also had relatively difficult opponents. A win in Salzburg is therefore clearly a must.

Salzburg is the clear underdog this time and has little to lose
The serial champions from Austria are not really getting going this season and are clearly falling short of their own expectations in both the league and the Champions League. In the top flight, they would actually like to reach the top 24, but this will be difficult or even impossible. They have picked up just 3 points from their first 5 games and are in 32nd place. With Paris, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, 3 really top opponents now await Salzburg. Even a point would be a great success here. Their only points so far came in the away game against Feyenoord Rotterdam, where they won 1:3. These were Salzburg's only goals, as they failed to score in their other 4 games. They have already conceded a total of 15 goals, meaning that they have not managed to keep a clean sheet in a single game. On the last matchday, they were beaten 5-0 by Bayer 04 Leverkusen. However, if they were to pull off a sensation against Paris, they would even overtake them in the table.

Small sense of achievement in the Austrian Bundesliga
In the league, they would actually like to win the title again this year after only finishing runners-up last season. However, Salzburg are only in 5th place after 14 matchdays. With 22 points in their account, they are already 11 points behind league leaders Sturm Graz. The hosts still have 2 games in hand. After 5 games without a win in a row, they managed a small liberating blow a few days ago. They celebrated a 4:0 win at home against Hartberg. It was Salzburg's 4th home win in 6 home games. With 14 goals scored and only 4 goals conceded, they usually make a good impression in their own stadium.

Paris not good enough for title ambitions in the premier class?
Paris St. Germain actually has title ambitions in several competitions every season. This season, however, the Champions League seems to be out of the question. The French champions have so far lacked any quality in the top flight, have a difficult fixture list and have not had a functioning attack since the departure of Kylian Mbappe. PSG have picked up just 4 points in their first 5 CL games, leaving them in 25th place, meaning they would not even qualify for the play-offs. Although the fixture list was one of the toughest, they could have won games against PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid, among others. Their only win to date came on matchday 1 at home against FC Girona. Since then, they have gone 4 games in a row without a win, scoring just 2 goals. In general, they have not managed to score more than one goal in a single match. Overall, they have a goal difference of 3:5 goals. Only 3 teams in the entire Champions League have scored fewer goals.

In France, you are the measure of all things
In contrast to their worst performances in the Champions League, they have been convincing in the domestic league. After 13 match days, they are still unbeaten and are top of the table with 33 points. The lead over second place is already 7 points. Away from home, Paris have won 4 out of 6 games, with 2 ending in a draw. With 37 goals, they have the best offense in the league, as well as the best defense with only 11 goals conceded. However, after 5 wins in a row, they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against FC Nantes last weekend. The good news for coach Luis Enrique is that he currently has hardly any injury absentees.

Paris will win their 2nd match - Our analysis
Salzburg have far less quality in their squad and have only been able to win a few games in recent weeks. Paris are struggling in the Champions League, but have only played top opponents there so far. A win against Salzburg is a must and we think they can do it. We would also recommend a handicap bet (1:0) on Paris.
