Paris Saint-Germain vs Flamengo prediction

Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain, without a pre-season, have still won the UEFA Super Cup this season while performing well in the UEFA Champions League and keeping up with Lens at the top-of-the-table in the Ligue 1 title race, having seen off struggling Metz by three goals to two at Stade Saint-Symphorien at the weekend.

Flamengo, coached by Filipe Luis, managed to ease past Pyramids FC by two goals to nil in the playoffs the other day, courtesy of goals from Leo Pereira and Danilo. The Brazilians, who reached the quarter-finals of the summer’s FIFA Club World Cup, defeated Palmeiras by a goal to nil in the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores final in late-November.

Flamengo have been extremely impressive since the appointment of Filipe Luis, but PSG are expected to come out on top in this one, as they put right their 3-0 hammering at the hands of Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final in New York over the summer.
