The Champions League is back and so is Forebet with all the data, trends, statistics and analysis for all the football predictions in these round of 16 first leg battles.
Paris Saint-Germain will welcome Real Sociedad to the French capital with the Ligue 1 champions coming into this game flying on the domestic front and looking untouchable over in France.
PSG are top of the Ligue 1 table with only one loss on the board and 15 wins from the 21 outings. This also sees them with a stunning tally of 51 goals scored in the league, which is 29 more than Nice in second place.
The trends of high-scoring and great defensive work continues week in, week out for PSG, as they defeated Lille 3-1 with Kylian Mbappe missing out.
Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani added goals instead of the France captain.
Mbappe was amongst the goals in the prior game, however, as Ramos and Danilo Pereira scored goals in a 3-1 win over Brest in the French Cup.
This also keeps up the hopes of a treble for PSG this season, but things were not incredibly easy for them in Group F back in the Champions League group stages.
The analysis of this group saw only Borussia Dortmund leave with confidence, as PSG finished level on points with AC Milan and headed through on goals difference.
The French giants were also stunned at St. James’ Park by Newcastle United but managed to head into the last 16 after a 1-1 home draw with the Magpies and then the same result away to Dortmund.
Still, in reality, the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are ahead of PSG in the football predictions for winning the Champions League.
As for Sociedad, their season looks a lot different to last campaign, despite such a fantastic run in the Champions League.
The La Liga side managed to finish top of their group after two draws with the high-flying Serie A league leaders and last season's runners-up, Inter Milan.
Sociedad finished in first due to goals difference, having let in just two goals all Group D campaign long - only Arsenal comes close to this record with four.
They have also looked impressive on the domestic front in terms of defence, keeping four clean sheets in a row and seven across the 10 games in Spain in 2024.
Forebet predicts a win for PSG and for the game to see under 2.5 goals.
