Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will host Aston Villa at Parc des Princes in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on 9 April 2025 at 20:00 CET. This will be the first meeting between the two teams in the European competition, with both sides hoping to advance.
Team performance
Paris Saint-Germain:
PSG are in excellent form, having lost just one of their last 29 matches. In the last round, they saw off Liverpool on penalties after they managed to equalise away from home. The team has already secured the French league title, so they can turn their full attention to the Champions League.
Aston Villa:
Aston Villa are also in fine form, having won seven games in a row across all competitions, and are looking to reach their first Champions League quarter-final in four decades after comfortably overcoming Club Brugge in the previous round.
Important missing items
Paris Saint-Germain:
- Marquinhos (team captain) is suspended and cannot play.
- Lee Kang-in is absent due to an ankle injury.
Aston Villa:
- Ross Barkley is unavailable due to a knee injury.
- Leon Bailey's performance is questionable as he is not fully fit.
Tactical analysis
Paris Saint-Germain:
Head coach Luis Enrique is expected to use a 4-3-3 formation, with Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola up front. Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz could control the midfield, while Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes could form the back line.
Aston Villa:
Unai Emery's side are also expected to play in a 4-3-3 formation, with Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Morgan Rogers in the attacking trio. Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn in midfield provide stability and creativity, while Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne form the back line in defence.
Weather conditions
The weather in Paris during the match is expected to be pleasant, spring-like, with temperatures around 15°C and light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, so the weather will not significantly affect the game.
