PSG failed to find a victory in two most recent Champions League matches, but will Brugge cause problems to the Citizens on December 7? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Paris Saint-Germain
FrancePSG got off to an unsuccessful start in the Champions League group stage - Mauricio Pochettino's team was considered an overwhelming favourite of an away match against Brugge, but failed to confirm that status, getting only a 1:1 draw out of the game. But in next two matches Paris team put up a solid performance - in the first one Frenchmen left no chance to Manchester City (2:0) and in the second one managed to break Leipzig (3:2) at home.
A return match against The Bulls turned out to be a difficult one as well - PSG were leading until the 92nd minute, but then conceded a penalty, so match ended in a draw, which became crucial for team's fate in the group. In the most recent match PSG were beaten by Manchester City (1:2) and lost a chance to win the group - Citizens have a four-point handicap before the ultimate round.
Club Brugge
BelgiumBefore the start of the Champions League group stage Brugge were considered a clear favourite of its group, but in the first match Phillipe Clement's team proved that they are able to put up a surprise. The Blue-Blacks managed to snatch a point from PSG at home match, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
A 2:1 away victory over Leipzig in the second round brought a chance for a play-off spot to Brugge, but for that they needed to fight off Manchester City. Unfortunately, team failed to do that - Belgian side lost 1:5 at home and 1:4 on away, those results left the club without a chance for a play-off spot. After a 0:5 home defeat to Leipzig team dropped out of the Europa League zone as well, they are tied on points with the Bulls, but German side is ahead on head-to-head results.

Tip and bets
PSG have no motivation left, they clinched a play-off spot already, but we don't think that Paris team will play with no effort, though we will probably see some reserve players on the field. Frenchmen have a serious advantage on class and they will try to convert it into a victory. It will be hard for Brugge to contain the opponent, the Blue-Blacks are too vulnerable on defense.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) on PSG
PSG put up a weak performance in recent Ligue 1 matches, but we don't think that team is in a crisis. Hosts are a clear favourite of today's match. Brugge will have to risk, so Parisians will have many space for their attacks - PSG players will feel themselves comfortable in a game like that one, so we are expecting a confident victory from them.
Our second bet is on PSG to win by two goals
