• Fixture: Athletic Club vs Paris Saint Germain
• Date: Wednesday, 10 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Estadio de San Mamés

Athletic Club will be looking to bounce back from a string of inconsistent results, particularly at home, where they've struggled. With key players like Guruzeta leading the line and the midfield duo of Galarreta and Rego pulling the strings, they could pose a threat to PSG's defence. However, their recent form suggests they might struggle to break down a PSG side that has been prolific in front of goal.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, comes into this match with a strong run of form, having won four out of their last five games. Their attacking trio of Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, and Barcola could cause problems for Athletic Club's defence, which has been leaky in recent matches. PSG's midfield, led by Neves and Ruiz, should control the game and help them secure a victory on the road.

Athletic Club's recent form has been a mixed bag, with only one win in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a goalless draw away to Slavia Praha, which might give them some confidence going into this match. However, their home form has been particularly poor, losing their last two home games heavily, which could affect their performance against a strong PSG side.

• Loss: 0-2 vs Newcastle (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Qarabag (H)

• Loss: 1-4 vs Borussia Dortmund (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (H)

Paris Saint-Germain have been in scintillating form, winning four out of their last five games. Their most recent result was a thrilling 5-3 victory over Tottenham at home, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite a rare loss to Bayern München, PSG's overall form suggests they are in a strong position to take on Athletic Club and continue their winning streak.

Recent UEFA Champions League Results:

• Win: 5-3 vs Tottenham (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Bayern München (H)

• Win: 7-2 vs Bayer Leverkusen (A)

Athletic Club and Paris Saint-Germain have never faced each other in this competition, making it difficult to predict their encounters based on past meetings. However, given PSG's recent form and attacking prowess, they might have the upper hand in this fixture. Athletic Club will need to rely on their home advantage and tactical discipline to counter PSG's strengths.

• Predicted lineup: Chevalier (GK), Zaire-Emery (DF), Marquinhos (DF), Pacho (DF), Beraldo (DF), Neves (MF), Vitinha (MF), Ruiz (MF), Kvaratskhelia (AT), Dembélé (AT), Barcola (AT)

Paris Saint-Germain is likely to deploy a 4-3-3 formation, with Chevalier between the sticks and a backline of Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Beraldo. The midfield trio of Neves, Vitinha, and Ruiz will look to dominate possession, while the attacking line of Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, and Barcola will aim to exploit any weaknesses in Athletic Club's defence.

• Guruzeta vs Pacho: Guruzeta's movement and finishing will be tested against Pacho's defensive solidity.
• Galarreta vs Ruiz: Galarreta's control in midfield will be crucial against Ruiz's dynamic play.
• Rego (Athletic Club): Rego's ability to dictate the tempo from midfield will be vital for Athletic Club.
