Paris Saint-Germain will look to clinch a spot in the round of 16 when it faces Anderlecht at home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The French champions cruised to a 5-0 win on the road against the Belgium side in the first game between the two teams. That game featured a historic performance from Zlatan Ibrahimovic who scored four times in the game, including a laser shot from 25-yards out that has made highlights around the world.
A win here would clinch a round of 16 spot for Paris as it would give the team 12 points; Anderlecht would remain with zero and would have no chance of catching Paris. Since Olympiacos and Benfica are squaring off in a rematch one team (or both) is bound to lose points. Since both sides have only four points through three games, the loss of points by one team would mean that it can max out at 11 or 10 points at most.
Anderlecht needs to win in order to gain some ground on Olympiacos and Benfica. A loss here would potentially put the team five or seven points behind second place with only two games to play.
Prediction: If Paris Saint-Germain was able to take down Anderlecht 5-0 on the road, then there should be no doubt about the final outcome in this game. The Belgium side should play better defensively and it is likely that the final score is lower than it was in the first game. Expect a 3-0 win for Paris Saint-Germain in this game.
Start Time: The ball starts rolling at 2:45 p.m. EST
