Aston Villa are heading into this Champions League match in a shaky spell, having lost two of their last five games, including a very heavy defeat. They have also been conceding a lot of goals lately, which will be a big worry against a strong opponent. Paris Saint Germain, on the other hand, have not lost in their last five matches, picking up a couple of wins and a few draws, so they look much more solid and reliable at the moment.

These two teams met twice last season, and Paris Saint Germain won both times, with plenty of goals in each game. Given that recent history, their better form, and Aston Villa's defensive struggles, this looks like a match the visitors should control and win, even if it might not be a completely one-sided contest.
