Paris Saint-Germain face FC Basel at Parc Des Princes on Wednesday, Oct.19. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
PSG will host FC Basel in Week 3 of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday, as the champions of France try to solidify their spot in the last 16 against the champions of Switzerland. The match will air at 2:45 p.m. ET in the States.
PSG are currently tied for first in Group A with Arsenal, as both teams have secured four points with identical +2 goal differentials. The Paris club are certainly not the same now that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is playing for Manchester United, evidenced by sitting an unfamiliar second in the Ligue 1 table. PSG are off to a solid start in the Champions League, following a 1-1 home draw against Arsenal with a 3-1 away win over Ludogorets Razgard. Striker Edinson Cavani leads the club with three goals through two matches.
FC Basel currently sit in third place in Group A, having drawn with Ludogorets Razgard 1-1 at home, while losing to Arsenal 2-0 at Emirates Stadium. FC Basel’s lone tournament goal came from winger Renato Steffan, who volleyed in a deflection off the palm of Ludogorets’ goalie Vladislav Stoyanov. FC Basel have their work cut out for them to advance in a group with superpowers like PSG and Arsenal, so anything short of a draw will put them in a precarious position heading into the second legs of group stage action.
