Athletic Bilbao team overview
Athletic Bilbao have found themselves wrestling with inconsistency on every front this season, and nowhere is that more evident than in the UEFA Champions League, where a modest haul of four points from five group-stage outings has left them languishing in 27th place — two points shy of the final playoff berth.
Reaching the knockout phase may still be mathematically within reach, but transforming that into reality will be anything but straightforward. The Basque club are staring down a brutal three-match gauntlet: a showdown with defending champions PSG, a daunting trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta, and a finale at San Mames against Sporting CP.
Fortunately for Ernesto Valverde’s men, the mood in Bilbao was lifted over the weekend as they ignited San Mames by toppling Atletico Madrid in a narrow but vital win — their third clean sheet across their last four outings and a promising indicator that their once-steady backline is beginning to reawaken.
Even so, Athletic’s hopes are clouded by a lengthy list of absentees. Centre-back Aitor Paredes is sidelined by a one-match suspension, while Benat Prados, Iñaki Williams, and Maroan Sannadi are all ruled out of Wednesday’s crucial clash due to injuries.

PSG team overview
Paris Saint-Germain have embarked on their Champions League title-defence with impressive authority, collecting 12 of a possible 15 points from their opening five group matches. The only blemish on an otherwise commanding record came via a narrow 2–1 setback against Bayern Munich in Paris.
Luis Enrique’s men, however, wasted no time restoring momentum, twice clawing their way back before triumphing in a breathtaking eight-goal spectacle against Premier League outfit Tottenham, a 5–3 masterpiece that reaffirmed their attacking firepower. Yet the path to the top eight is far from secure, with PSG holding just a two-point cushion over ninth-placed Manchester City heading into the final three rounds.
As they prepare for a demanding trip to San Mames, Les Parisiens carry renewed conviction and collective spirit, fuelled by a five-star demolition of Rennes over the weekend. Even so, they remain second in the Ligue 1 standings — albeit only a single point adrift of leaders RC Lens.
First-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier missed the weekend duties due to an ankle issue and remains doubtful, while full-back Nuno Mendes continues his rehabilitation from a thigh injury and is expected to stay sidelined a while longer.

Prediction
With their sights firmly set on tightening their grip on second place at the very least, PSG arrive with every intention of recreating the spectacle they produced on their two previous Champions League voyages — a gritty 2–1 silencing of Barcelona in Catalonia and a thunderous 7–2 dismantling of Bayer Leverkusen.
Athletic Bilbao may have visibly sharpened their defensive structure in recent weeks, yet containing Europe’s most explosive attacking unit borders on the miraculous. PSG’s forwards have been operating at a breathtaking tempo, hammering home a staggering 19 goals across their opening five continental assignments, a return befitting a side in full artistic flow.
And with the Basque outfit down to a single fully-fit centre-back, the script appears painfully one-sided. Unless fortune intervenes in spectacular fashion, it is difficult to sketch any scenario other than the French giants cruising toward another routine — and possibly ruthless — victory.
Four Reasons we expect PSG to Win
- Athletic Bilbao have ended up on the losing side in four of their last nine competitive outings.
- In their first nine home matches, the Basque club failed to find the net on four occasions.
- PSG are on a rampage with four impressive wins in their last five matches across all competitions.
- PSG have scored exactly five goals in two of their last three competitive games.
