Athletic Bilbao vs PSG Predictions

• PSG have won four of their five Champions League league‑phase matches
• Athletic Club have lost four of their nine home games this season
• The Parisians are the competition’s top scorers with 19 goals, but they have also conceded eight
• PSG have kept only one away clean sheet since August

PSG chasing top spot

Paris Saint-Germain head to San Mamés on Wednesday aiming to secure their fifth win of the Champions League league phase. Luis Enrique’s side sit second overall with 12 points from five matches, three behind leaders Arsenal, and remain the tournament’s leading scorers with 19 goals.

Their most recent European outing was a thrilling 5-3 victory over Tottenham, underlining both their attacking firepower and defensive frailties. Both aspects were also evident in an earlier 7-2 away win at Bayer Leverkusen in which only their quality of finishing was the difference.

PSG also beat Rennes 5-0 in Ligue 1 at the weekend and will arrive in Spain full of confidence. That is something the hosts may be lacking after a recent 3-0 home spanking at the hands of Real Madrid.

Valverde’s side have limitations

Ernesto Valverde’s men have collected only four points from five league phase games, leaving them 27th overall, though they remain just two points off the playoff spots.

The Basques did beat Qarabag at home in October and drew with Slavia Prague, but defeats to Newcastle and Dortmund highlighted their limitations. Injuries remain a concern for a relatively small squad with Aymeric Laporte sidelined and Inaki Williams among those unavailable, so Nico Williams will carry much of the attacking burden.

With PSG in free‑scoring form and Bilbao missing key players, the French champions look well placed to claim another victory. Backing PSG to win and both teams to score is the standout angle because of the French side’s lack of away clean sheets this term.
