After their inaugural victories, Paris SG, Manchester City, Dortmund and Real Madrid will be keen to confirm their good debut in the Champions League, while Juventus will be looking for their first points on Wednesday during the second day of the group stage.
Manchester City will be able to count on its Norwegian star Erling Haaland to properly welcome his former club Borussia Dortmund in what appears to be the biggest poster for this Wednesday.
The two clubs, in the fight for 1st place in Group G after their easy initial victories, over Sevilla for the Mancunians (4-0) and Copenhagen for Dortmund (3-0), could take attractive options for qualification in Round of 16 in case of victory.
The memory of 1998
On paper, it is Paris traveling to the modest Maccabi Haifa which seems to have the easiest task. After crunching Juventus (2-1), the Parisians land as big favorites in Israel.
If he can count on his “NMM” in front, PSG will however have to do without Presnel Kimpembe, victim of a muscle injury, in defense, to try to exorcise the bad memory of 1998. The Parisians then lost 3 -2 in Haifa (1-1 on the way to the Park), falling in the first round of the last edition of the Cup Cup (C2).
