PSG vs. Atalanta Prediction, September 18, 2025
PSG squad to win the 2025 UEFA Super Cup after defeating Tottenham.
Les Parisiens’ confidence is at an all-time high after ending their long wait to win the Champions League trophy last season. Luis Enrique, just entering his second season, immediately ushered in a new era by winning the treble: Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and the continental title.
This positive rhythm continued at the start of the 2025/26 season. After securing the UEFA Super Cup title by defeating Tottenham, PSG continued their perfect domestic start. A 2-0 victory over Lens last weekend boosted optimism ahead of their Champions League opener.
On the other hand, a visit to the Parc des Princes presents a tough challenge for Atalanta under Ivan Juric. Last season, they set a club-record points record in Serie A history and returned to European competition. However, their performance stability remains a problem after a dip in the second half of the season.
Juric replaces Gian Piero Gasperini, who shaped La Dea’s identity for almost a decade. The start to their relationship wasn’t entirely smooth, but a 4-1 victory over Lecce signaled a positive outcome. Atalanta are now eager to relive the memories of 2020, when they caused problems for PSG in the quarter-finals.
Atalanta’s away record is also noteworthy. They have scored in each of their last 15 away matches in European competition. However, they will need to be extremely cautious against a PSG side in peak form.
Predicted Starting XI for PSG vs Atalanta
PSG are still plagued by fitness concerns. Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are all injured, while Lee Kang-in and Lucas Beraldo both suffered ankle problems against Lens. The good news is that Luis Enrique can bring back Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes, while Fabian Ruiz is expected to recover in time.
On the other hand, Atalanta are also facing similar issues. Ademola Lookman remains out, while Gianluca Scamacca is doubtful due to a knee injury. The duo of Nikola Krstovic and Charles De Ketelaere are likely to be the mainstays in attack after both performed productively last weekend. Meanwhile, Ederson and Sead Kolasinac are still sidelined for extended periods.
PSG (4-3-3): Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola
Coach: Luis Enrique
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, De Roon, Pasalic, Zalewski; De Ketelaere, Maldini; Krstovic
