The Parc des Princes opens its Champions League account against a Slovan Bratislava side that arrives bruised, having lost two of their last five games in the Slovak top flight and conceded in 4 of their last 5 outings. PSG's own form is shaky - one win in five, zero clean sheets - but the class gap here is oceanic, and the Parisians have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches while conceding in all five. Both sides leak goals, but only one can produce the volume. PSG are priced at 1.05 to win, so the handicap is the play. At AH -2.5 (1.53, bet365), we need three goals of difference - very achievable when Slovan have shipped 6 in 5 and PSG have scored 7 in 5. Slovan's lone injury is Kukharevych. Take the -2.5 and the bigger price.
