PSG will take on Maccabi Haifa in their second 2022-23 Champions League group stage match on Wednesday. Lionel Messi's team will be looking to extend their near perfect start to the season.
Christophe Galtier's team is in excellent form going into the game, having won eight out of the nine games they have played so far in the 2022-23 season. Kylian Mbappe scored a brace as the Ligue 1 champions opened their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Juventus last week.
Maccabi Haifa have won all the four league games they have played so far. However, they lost 2-0 to Benfica in their group stage opener and will be looking to get at least a point from what looks to be a difficult challenge against PSG.

Maccabi Haifa: Midfielder Ali Mohamed had to be forced off the field during Maccabi Haifa's loss to Benfica in their first group game. He has since missed a league game over the weekend and is unlikely take part in the mid-week fixture against PSG.
Talented 20-year-old midfielder Suf Podgareanu has been sidelined with an achilles injury and will also miss the big clash.
Paris Saint-Germain: PSG have ruled out a total three players for the Champions League trip to Israel due to injuries.
Presnel Kimpembe suffered a hamstring injury while tacking an opponent in their last match and is set to be sidelined for six weeks. Renato Sanches also remains sidelined and Keylor Navas has not travelled with the squad due to back pain.
Prediction: Maccabi are undefeated at home this term, but PSG will be a major upgrade on the type of opponents they face in the league. Although the Parisians are winless against the hosts, a lot has changed since their last meeting almost 24 years ago. A clean sheet for either teams seems unlikely. Considering Les Parisiens' form, they should record a comfortable win.
Score Prediction: Maccabi Haifa 1 - 3 Paris Saint-Germain
