PSG is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won all 4 of their matches in Ligue 1 this season and all 4 of those wins have been by 2+ goals. Their attack has been on fire in these matches as well, scoring at least 3 goals in each of their 4 matches. Their defense has allowed 1 goal in 3 of their 4 matches as well, but their 1 clean sheet came at home in 1 of their 2 matches there this season. They have also outscored opponents in their 2 home matches by a score of 9-1. They are going up against a Girona side that has been in good form in their recent matches, but not great form to start the season. They have won 2 of their last 3 matches, but those are their only 2 wins in La Liga this season with 2 losses and 1 draw as well. Their 2 losses this season were very notable losses as well, losing 3-0 away from home against Atletico Madrid and losing 4-1 at home to Barcelona. Girona had an incredible season in La Liga last year which qualified them for this competition, but this is not that same team as last year and the quality difference is evident in their 2 losses. PSG still has the best squad in France this year and losing Mbappe has only motivated them more as they are now playing with a chip on their shoulder. This is a big competition for PSG as well since Mbappe never won the Champions League Title with them and these players are now trying to prove the team is just as good without him, if not better. PSG has been in great form all season and they are not going to stop in this 1st Champions League match of the season at home when they have a lot more quality than Girona, both in the starting XI and on the bench. PSG will win this match at home by 2 or more goals, take PSG -1.5 here.
