The Parisians have lost their lead in the Champions League group stage. In the previous round, they hosted Bayern Munich and suffered a 1-2 defeat. This was the first loss for the French side in the current tournament. Prior to that, Luis Enrique's team thrashed Atalanta (4-0) and Bayer Leverkusen (7-2), and also overcame Barcelona (2-1).

PSG vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
The French club is justifiably considered the clear favorite in this encounter. After all, they are the reigning champions of this tournament, among the top performers in the current group stage, and also lead Ligue 1. The team achieves high results thanks to excellent attacking play. In this Champions League, the Parisians have already scored many goals against very solid mid-table teams. However, PSG has conceded in 3 of their last 4 matches in this tournament.
I believe that the Parisians will score at least two goals in this match. At the same time, the visitors won't be left without goals. Tottenham has scored in 3 of their 4 matches in this European competition. Moreover, in the Premier League, the Londoners are among the most prolific clubs. Therefore, I think both teams will deliver an entertaining match with at least 3 goals. If PSG finds their rhythm, they could surpass this total on their own.
My prediction – Total over 3
