(Football news) Following a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Leigh Sports Village last week, the tie is still very much in the balance heading into Wednesday’s match. PSG is the favourites to win the qualifying match, especially with home advantage in the second leg. They have advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals in each of the last five seasons.

Despite losing the lead after Tabita Chawinga had opened the score in the 54th minute, the Parisians would have been happy with the first-leg outcome. PSG was back in action this past weekend when they played Reims at home in the league. However, due to fireworks being let off from outside the stadium, the match could not be finished.

The action on Saturday was terminated in the 46th minute, with no goals scored. The decision was made to end the game. Now, Jocelyn Precheur’s team will turn their attention to their European matchup in the middle of the week, when they hope to snap their four-game losing streak.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are participating in their first-ever Women’s Champions League campaign after placing second in the Women’s Super League the previous year, unlike their hosts. Melvine Malard, who came off the bench to cancel off Chawinga’s opening goal, saved the Manchester United from certain defeat in their first-ever European match and ensured that the English team would go to Paris on equal footing.

They were involved in yet another 1-1 draw in their Sunday home match against Leicester City, which would have angered Marc Skinner, the manager of Man United.

Manchester United have now played three straight draws in all competitions, despite not losing any of their four games this season. Manchester United will be keen to start Wednesday’s contest on a high note after giving up the first goal in each of their last four games.
