PSG vs Chelsea Prediction
PSG and Chelsea are almost evenly matched and are in fine form heading into the game.
Chelsea will look to do better than their harrowing group stage exit last season where the English champions got eliminated in a three-way tie. PSG, meanwhile, made it all the way to the semifinals, where they bowed out to domestic rivals and eventual winners Olympique Lyon.
Home advantage gives the Parisians a slight edge, but Chelsea are more than capable of leaving the French capital with a positive result. Although either team could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
