Paris Saint Germain took control of the ‘group of death’ with a 3-0 crushing of AC Milan at the Parc des Princes two weeks ago, leaving their hosts at risk of a premature exit from European football entirely. Milan succumbed to Warren Zaire-Emery's masterclass as the highly-rated 17-year-old assisted both Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang showcasing his talent as a world-class midfielder. Randal Kolo Muani breached the Milan defense line to make it 3-0 for Les Parisiens. Milan may be forgiven for losing to Juventus on a deflected Manuel Locatelli goal, but Pioli's men then blew a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with under-performing champions Napoli before succumbing to a Roberto Pereyra penalty in a shock 1-0 home loss to Udinese last weekend.

From conceding just one goal in six games from September 19 to October 7 - including goalless Group F draws with Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United - Pioli's previously stalwart men have now conceded seven goals in their last four games, and defeat would leave their top-two hopes hanging by the barest of threads if either Dortmund or Newcastle won at Signal Iduna Park tonight. However, the two-point Rossoneri are within touching distance of the German giants and the Magpies, but the seven-time champions have now gone five Champions League games without a goal and are now at the risk of drawing a blank in three successive top-level European home contests for the first time ever.

Making amends for their 4-1 humiliation at the hands of Newcastle United, PSG - who also have a two-goal success against Dortmund to their name and can now officially eliminate Milan from top-spot contention by repeating their previous success over the Italian giants, and the form book seems to highly favour the visitors tonight.  After setting up two goals versus the Rossoneri and blasting home a rocket of an opener against Brest, Zaire-Emery made Europe stand up and take notice once again during Friday's visit to Montpellier as he netted his side's second goal. While Milan are currently unable to buy a goal, PSG enters Tuesday's match on the back of a fantastic five-game winning streak, scoring three goals in each of those games while conceding just three in total, temporarily stealing the top spot in the Ligue 1 table from Nice in the process. 

PSG cannot seal qualification to the knockout stages no matter what happens and they have only two wins to show from their last ten Champions League games on the road. In addition to that, they have not kept a European clean sheet while on away soil since ever since beating Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0 in October 2020. PSG, on the other hand, have already broken one unwanted streak in the Champions League this season, having failed to win any of their four previous encounters with Milan prior to October's three-goal thrashing, and the French champions are now looking for their fifth win in a row over Italian opponents.
