Comments on the match Athletic Bilbao vs PSG, 3:00 a.m. December 11: San Mames faces the hot wind from Paris

VHO - Commenting on the match Bilbao vs PSG, Champions League qualifying round, the Parisian giants are likely to earn all 3 points in their visit to San Mames.

Bilbao vs PSG form

The Champions League seems to be too much for Bilbao. After 5 matches, the La Liga representative has only pocketed 4 points from 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. The not-so-bright results have left coach Ernesto Valverde and his team ranked 27th out of 36.

Bilbao could have done a little better, finishing in the play-off group for the round of 16. But in their last match, the Basque side only managed to get one point from a goalless draw away to underdogs Slavia Prague.

The best chance has passed, Bilbao will have to face a bigger challenge in the remaining 3 matches. Besides welcoming PSG with little hope of getting points, Nico Williams and his teammates also have to face Sporting and Atalanta, names that both have 6 points more than them before match 5.

At least Bilbao is not playing too badly in the domestic arena. Last weekend, the San Mames team excellently defeated Atletico Madrid thanks to the only goal of Alejandro Berenguer. The achievement of earning 6/9 points in the last 3 rounds helped coach Valverde's team rise to 7th place, 4 points behind 5th place.

PSG, for their part, surprisingly lost the top spot in Ligue 1 to Lens after round 14 due to a 0-1 defeat at the hands of AS Monaco. Despite crushing Rennes 5-0 a few days ago, the team under coach Luis Enrique still cannot reclaim the top spot.

However, the gap is only a fragile 1 point and with the usual stable performance in the domestic arena, it is likely that the rich Parisian team will not take too much time to regain what they have lost.

Especially in the Champions League, the task of finishing in the top 8, thereby winning a ticket straight to the round of 16 is being carried out quite smoothly by the team at the Parc des Princes. After 5 matches, PSG is currently ranked 2nd with 12 points and an impressive goal difference of +11.

PSG will accelerate to get closer to the ticket to the round of 16

If they leave Spain with a winning smile, Kvaratskhelia and his teammates will be one step closer to their goal. But with a defense that has conceded in each of their last four appearances in the continent’s most prestigious arena, the visitors from France still need to maintain their concentration.

In the past two away matches, despite having to travel to more difficult grounds such as Camp Nou (Barcelona) or BayArena (Leverkusen), coach Luis Enrique and his team have both won, scoring 9 and conceding 3 goals.
