Anderlecht will try to avoid another humiliating defeat to PSG after losing 5-0 at home two weeks ago. It will be a tough task for the Belgium champions, who are currently last in the group with a goal difference of 0-10.
PSG is really looking good this year, Laurent Blanc has managed to create a cohesive team from superstar players, something which is not easy to do. PSG is much more reliable than they were at the start of this big money project. The hosts are undefeated this season in all competitions and they actually won 12 out of the 16 matches they played (including 7 of the last 8). They often covered big spreads and the last time out they won 4-0 against Lorient. In Champions League PSG has been fantastic until now, winning all three games by at least 3 goals. They could qualify today and also virtually assure the first spot, so a very important game for them. Their task might be made more complicated due to the uncertainty over the fitness level of Cavani and Ibrahimovic. They are both doubtful, Ibra has more chances to play. Thiago Silva is also highly doubtful. Otherwise there are no squad problems for PSG. Blanc has promised to sent the best possible first 11 on the pitch.
Probable lineup: Sirigu – Van der Wiel, Marquinhos, Alex, Maxwell – Motta, Verratti, Matuidi – Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Moura

Anderlecht is having a very poor season until now. They are on 5th place in the league and they are the worst team in UCL with no goals scored and no points (while losing all games by at least 1 goal handicap). Anderlecht is on a 4 match undefeated run in the league but this is mainly thanks to poor opposition. Without wins over sides like Oostende or Mos, Anderlecht would be on 8th place now. The visitors are clearly below UCL level and. They will miss Vargas, Gillet and Matias Suarez.
Probable lineup: Kaminski – Vandenborre, Kouyate, Nuytinck, N’Sakala – Milivojevic, Kljestan – Tielemans, Praet, Acheampong – Mitrovic
After the display in the match in Belgium, it`s hard to imagine PSG not winning big again, even in the unfortunate situation in which both Cavani and Ibrahimovic (who scored 4 goals in the match in Belgium) will miss. The french team is very reliable this season and they do not make unpleasant surprises against weaker opposition. They have depth and adequate replacement for the starters. They score a lot of goals, while Anderlecht`s defense is very poor even for Belgium standards, let alone UCL. The hosts will be eager to assure qualification to the next stage, will put pressure on Anderlecht and will surely break down the hesitant belgian defense many times over the course of the 90 minutes. The difference in quality is just huge, the form is also clearly on PSG’s side and the match-up between their attack and Anderlecht’s defense is also in their favor. Look for the home team to cover a 2 goal handicap. My pick for this match? Something similar to the previous meeting. PSG – Anderlecht 4-0.
