Both teams are in serious danger of missing out on the knockout stages, being among the biggest underperformers in the league phase so far.

PSG have still not won in the Champions League since a fortunate, late 1-0 victory over Girona on matchdayone, losing to Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, while also drawing with PSV Eindhoven since.

With Manchester City and Stuttgart to come in January, PSG will likely need at least six points from their final three matches to be in contention of progressing, and they did not have the best preparation for this contest on Friday night, playing out a goalless draw with Auxerre.

Salzburg are enduring an even worse campaign under new manager Pep Lijnders, because a defeat here could see them all but eliminated with two games left to play.

They have already faced a French club this season, and lost 4-0 to Brest, equaling their worst-ever home defeat in the competition, as part of a three-game losing run to start the campaign, which saw them fail to score and concede nine.

Lijnders would also see his side lose 2-0 to Dinamo Zagreb here, meaning the club is now on a six-game losing run at home in the Champions League, as they now return to the Red Bull Arena after back-to-back away games.

After shocking Feyenoord with a 3-1 victory at De Kuip, Salzburg quickly slipped back into old habits, being thrashed 5-0 at Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the midst of a four-game winless run that also saw them lose to Linz-based clubs BW and LASK.

Salzburg did end that run by beating Hartberg, but they dropped more points at the weekend, only managing a 2-2 draw at home to Rapid Vienna, despite leading twice and missing a penalty, leaving them fifth and 13 points behind leaders Sturm Graz.
