The UEFA Champions League kicks off with the opening round of group stage fixtures this week as Juventus lock horns with PSG in a Group H encounter at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game to begin the competition on a positive note.
Juventus are currently in sixth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina over the weekend and will need to up their game in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the Ligue 1 table at the moment and have been impressive so far this season. The reigning French champions eased past Nantes by a 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

PSG vs Juventus Prediction
PSG have an excellent squad at their disposal and have scored 24 goals in their six league matches so far. Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe are in impeccable form and will be intent on stepping up in the Champions League.
Juventus have largely failed to meet expectations so far and will need to play out of their skins in this match. PSG are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: PSG 2-0 Juventus
