The latest quest for Champions League glory for Paris Saint-Germain begins with a visit from new boys Girona to the French capital. They were the surprise package in La Liga last season and Girona are rewarded with a spot amongst the big boys in the new-look Champions League. PSG, meanwhile, continue their quest for European glory minus the services of Kylian Mbappe, their talisman having moved on to Real Madrid in the summer. The Paris vs Girona betting odds suggests the hosts should be ok without Mbappe – for now at least.

🏆 PSG vs Girona CL Prediction - 18/09/2024

The absence of talisman Mbappe doesn't appear to have hindered PSG too greatly, though sterner tests await. The Parisians won their first three Ligue 1 games and scored 13 times along the way. Bradley Barcola is stepping up to the plate, the 22-year-old in free-scoring form domestically in the early exchanges. It’s a different story for Girona after they lost some key performers from last season's Cinderella-like charge to finishing third in the Spanish top tier, though they have started to find their way forward after a stumbling beginning. Even so, the Paris vs Girona odds suggest they will struggle in the French capital and the hosts should have the know-how to get the job done.

My Prediction: 🏆 PSG 3 - 0 Girona ⚽

💯 PSG vs Girona Football Event Odds

The revamped Champions League group stage will still find PSG as eager as ever to try and join the ranks of Europe's great teams by hoisting the most famous trophy in club football. It has proved to be a painful mistress to them so far and now they come up against Girona, first-timers in this elite completion

🏅 PSG vs Girona: Match Winner

The newly revamped Champions League group stage gives every club a level footing in a 32-team league table, with four home games and four away ties before the field is whittled down. Taking care of business at home is crucial and PSG are hot favourites to do just that against their Spanish visitors.

⚽ PSG vs Girona: Both Teams To Score

Girona's first taste of the Champions League could hardly come in a more testing fashion, given the vast experience of PSG in this competition. It's hard to know how the Spanish side will approach this game, though they were second-highest scorers in La Liga last season with 85 goals so anyone having a bet on Paris vs Girona may be willing to consider they can get on the scoresheet.

🥅 PSG vs Girona Odds: Over/Under 2.5 Goals

PSG's first three domestic games of the season produced a combined tally of 15 goals. Each of Girona's opening four in La Liga had two more goals scored. This contest has the makings of an entertaining affair, particularly if the Spanish side come to town aiming to throw some caution to the wind.

✔️ PSG vs Girona- Betting Tips

The return of the Champions League brings with it lots of excitement as football fans across Europe get set for a brand new format and the uncertainty that it brings with it. From a betting perspective, there are more games to consider and more jeopardy for many of the competing teams than might have been the case in old four-team group stage format.

  • Tip 1 - Outright winner or a tie: PSG to win 1.50.
  • PGS should be too good for Girona, who are making their first-ever Champions League appearance. The Parc des Princes is a tough starting point and the Spanish outfit could struggle at this level in light of the fact they no longer have top scorer Artem Dovbyk and chief creators Aleix Garcia and Savinho amongst their ranks from last season. Look for PSG to make experience pay as my Paris vs Girona prediction is for a comfortable home win.

  • Tip 2 - Over/under amount of goals: Over 2.5 goals 1.52.
  • PSG have been in free-scoring form domestically and young forward Bradley Barcola is making the most of his chance to shine since Kylian Mbappe left the club. The 22-year-old French ace scored four in three games before the international break and added another for his country against Italy. He can help ensure the goals flow as we predict three or more in Paris.

  • Tip 3 – Girona Total Goals (Exact): Girona 0 + 2.60.
  • This could be a chastising first experience in the Champions League for Girona, who failed to win either of their first two La Liga games after the highs of last season. Completing our trio of Paris vs Girona betting tips is a selection on the Spaniard to fail to score.

⚡ PSG vs Girona– Head to Head

This will be the first ever meeting of these clubs in competitive action. Paris are long-established as one of Europe's major clubs, but their rabid desire to win the Champions League remains unquenched. They only conceded one goal in three home group stage games last season, despite occupying the 'group of death' with Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle and AC Milan.

PSG Update

Luis Enrique had to deal with the loss of star man Kylian Mbappe in the summer but his side made a confident start to the French domestic season, scoring 13 teams in three games. Bradley Barcola is stepping up, with the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Marco Asensio also getting more time in the limelight. The continued absence of Lucas Hernandez at the back is a concern, though Brazilian defender Marquinhos has been slotting into the team well in the early weeks of the season.

Girona Update

Girona were last season's Cinderella story as they fought hard with the superstars of Real Madrid in pursuit of a first ever La Liga title. Ultimately, they could only finish third, but it was a herculean effort for head coach Michel and his squad in what was just the club's fourth ever top-level season. Their reward for that is a place in the Champions League, though the squad has been forced to absorb the loss of stellar performers like Artem Dovbyk, Aleix Garcia, Savinho and Eric Garcia over the summer.
