(Odds via OddsShark)

PSG's Champions League fate is back in their own hands after a 2-1 win over Liverpool at the Parc des Princes last time out.

The French side will be confident of victory over Red Star. They thrashed the Serbian champions 6-1 in October with Neymar scoring a hat-trick.

Red Star have managed just one win in the group, but their home form may give the Parisiens something to think about.

Vladan Milojevic's side held Napoli to a 0-0 draw in September and beat Liverpool 2-0 in November at the intimidating Rajko Mitic Stadium:

PSG have had additional time to prepare for the match after Saturday's scheduled Ligue 1 game with Montpellier was postponed on police request due to violent protests against rises in fuel tax in the French capital, per BBC Sport.

The French champions may be relishing a return to action after drawing their last two Ligue 1 outings. PSG were held 2-2 by Bordeaux and then 1-1 at Strasbourg, the first points they have dropped this season.

Yet the Champions League remains PSG's top priority this season, and anything other than an away win will be seen as a surprise.

Defender Thomas Meunier has spoken openly about what it would mean for the club to fail to make it out of the group stage, per Darren Tulett at the Guardian.

"Let's be honestbeing knocked out of the Champions League would be catastrophic," he said. "PSG's hegemony in the French championship is clear and now people expect more. A Champions League elimination would be a disaster."

PSG have the firepower to cause Red Star problems, though. Neymar has four goals in five Champions League appearances and is now the leading Brazilian goalscorer in the competition's history:

The visitors will not want to rely on results elsewhere on Tuesday, and so the onus will be on them to go for the win in Belgrade. Red Star are no pushovers, particularly at home, but this is one match PSG simply cannot afford to get wrong.
