Paris Saint-Germain vs Atletico Madrid Preview

PSG have one of the most inexperienced squads in this year’s International Champions Cup, and that means Thomas Tuchel has had less time with his main stars in preparing for the new season.

In their last few games only Adrien Rabiot and Gianluigi Buffon were predent and in turn, results have not been good.

The French champions have played two matches so far and they have been well beaten in both games.

They were beaten 3-1 by Bayern Munich in their first match while their last match ended in a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal.

PSG would finish at the bottom of the table with another loss in this game.

Atletico Madrid have a big squad so they have used a mixture of youth and experience in their team for this competition thus far.

They started their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Arsenal before going on to they beat the Gunners on penalties.

Their second match is this game, and with some of their star players returning, they can win this game and potentially end the competition as champions.

Atletico Madrid are slight favourites with bookmakers to get the job done here while PSG will be looking to make amends for their recent losses.
