Paris Saint-Germain begin the defence of their Champions League crown on Wednesday night. Serie A side Atalanta travel to Parc des Princes for a tough opening clash in the league phase. PSG enter the competition in formidable form. Luis Enrique’s side have started their Ligue 1 title defence with four consecutive wins, including a 2-0 victory over Lens at the weekend.
After completing a historic treble last season, the Parisians will look to cement their dominance further on the European stage. With their attacking depth and ability to grind out results, PSG appear well-positioned to make another deep run in the Champions League this season.

Atalanta are adjusting to life under Ivan Juric after the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini. The Bergamo side finally found their rhythm with a convincing 4-1 win over Lecce on Sunday. Last season ended in disappointment for Atalanta, with a Champions League exit to Club Brugge derailing what had been a record-breaking domestic campaign..
PSG hold history on their side, having defeated Atalanta 2-1 in the 2020 quarter-final. With the Paris giants unbeaten at home in Europe in recent time, Parc des Princes has become a fortress where few sides escape unscathed. Given PSG’s ruthless winning mentality under Enrique, Atalanta will have to produce something special to get anything from this game.

PSG vs Atalanta Under 3.5 Goals @ -200 as per BetMGM
Three of PSG’s four league wins have landed under 3.5 (1-0 Nantes, 1-0 Angers, 2-0 Lens), with three clean sheets in that span. Atalanta under Ivan Juric have also been involved in cagey affairs in Serie A. With the visitors likely to set up compact at Parc des Princes, a controlled game here points to a game with less than four goals.
Goncalo Ramos to score anytime @ +130 as per BetMGM:
Despite a slow start to the season, Goncalo Ramos is expected to shoulder extra attacking responsibility for PSG, especially with Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue ruled out. Meanwhile, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-In are also doubtful. Ramos has yet to find the net this Ligue 1 campaign, but his intelligent movement and ability to exploit space make him a natural focal point.

With PSG averaging over two goals per game in Ligue 1 so far and creating plenty of chances, Ramos will hope to break his scoring drought and deliver on the Champions League stage.
Even with several key players sidelined, PSG are capable of extending their perfect start to the campaign. The defending champions have shown enough depth and balance to handle setbacks, and their quality in the final third should once again prove decisive. While Atalanta are likely to make PSG work hard, the French giants should ultimately edge this contest with relative ease.
Final Prediction: PSG 2-1 Atalanta
