While the Parisians are still unbeaten in the local Ligue 1, they only achieved one of five possible points in the Champions League and thus lost sight of the top places. Salzburg, on the other hand, has to struggle with a disappointing placement of five in the local Bundesliga and has only been able to record one victory in the Champions League, including a bitter 0: 5 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. These form crises make the upcoming encounter particularly important, since PSG would also like to find old strength again, such as The Stats Zone executed.
