PSG have notched 16 points from the opening six rounds in Ligue 1 and with an incredible 24 goals scored. All of their five wins have come by a multi-goal difference and the team looks set to dominate in Europe as well.
Neymar, who produced 19 goal involvement during the whole of last season, is already on nine goals and six assists across all competitions in 2022-23 and his running mates have racked up the stats as well. Messi also boasts six assists for the season with four goals and Mbappe has netted seven times in just five outings.
Mbappe scored a brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Nantes with Messi assisting him on both occasions. The Argentine superstar became the first player since 2015-16 to reach 100 assists in the top-five European leagues. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner mostly had a rough ride during his first year in Paris but he sure looks back to his best now.
Juve will hope to see Dusan Vlahovic prove a big attacking threat and need Angel Di Maria to be in the mood against his former team. The 34-year-old had a very productive spell for PSG, posting 93 goals and 119 assists in 295 outings. DI Maria’s career in Italy has yet to take off, but the whole team has struggled to kick into gear and it appears that there’s time needed to gel following a summer full of changes.
Massimiliano Allegri’s men have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, but they can’t be happy with just two wins in five games. Vlahovic and new signing Arkadiusz Milik have looked sharp by combining for six goals, but the rest of the squad has managed to score just once and the offensive numbers need a major improvement if Juve want to be challengers again in Serie A and in the Champions League.
The teams clash for the seventh time in history and PSG have yet to take anything off Juventus. The last meeting in Paris even ended with a 6-1 victory for the visitors. With the Big Three in sizzling form, the Parisians look well capable of getting a huge win themselves this time around.
