Newcastle United will host Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the tightly-contested UEFA "Group F". Newcastle held on to a point against AC Milan in the first round, but are expected to play a solid defensive game against a tough opponent. PSG's star player Kylian Mbappe has been in and out of form, and won't be overly aggressive on the road, considering their last four UEFA Europa League matches have been draws at halftime, so it's a good idea to look for a draw in this match.

"The Magpies suffered three consecutive defeats in the early part of the new season, and manager Eddie Howe adjusted his tactics in time, no longer claiming to be a strong team, but adopting a more conservative style of play, which had a remarkable effect. In the last five matches, the team achieved four wins and one draw, and conceded zero goals, including the first round of the UEFA Europa League away against AC Milan, facing the fierce attack of the Serie A powerhouse, but thanks to the excellent play of goalkeeper Nick Popeye, the goal is not lost, and the two sides eventually played to a 0-0 draw. Subsequently, the team's 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the English League Cup has greatly boosted the team's confidence, and it is expected that the team will continue to stick to defense and look for counter-attacking opportunities in this game.
