Istanbul Basaksehir vs PSG prediction and preview

Istanbul Basaksehir suffered defeat on Matchday 1 of the new UCL season as RB Leipzig recorded a 2-0 win over the Super Lig side last week. However, following a slow start to their domestic season, Istanbul Basaksehir hammered Antalyaspor 5-1 at the weekend and will be hoping to cause an upset against PSG on Wednesday night. The defending Turkish champions are favourites to finish at the bottom of Group C, having been handed one of the most difficult groups to navigate through in their debut season in the UCL.
