Paris Saint-Germain resume their bid to win an elusive Champions League crown when they welcome Real Sociedad to the Parc de Princes for the first leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday night.
Les Parisiens came from behind to beat Lille 3-1 on home soil in Ligue 1 last weekend, while the Txuri-Urdin suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Osasuna in La Liga.
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Real Sociedad
Closely-fought contests are typically played out in fixtures involving Real Sociedad, who will fancy their chances of ending their four-game goal drought against a PSG side who have conceded in each of their last five matches.
However, taking into account the return to fitness of star man Mbappe, PSG will be regarded as favourites to come out on top and have the firepower to give themselves a crucial first-leg advantage.

Kicking off their last-16 tie at Stadio Olimpico, Lazio and Bayern Munich meet on Wednesday evening, as the Champions League knockout rounds get up and running.
While the Serie A side are aiming for a first quarter-final appearance in 24 years, the German champions have made that stage for three years straight and are ultimately targeting a seventh European crown.
We say: Lazio 1-2 Bayern Munich
Though Bayern are not at their fluent best, they have proven prowess on their travels around Europe and boast a versatile attack. As Lazio have been more vulnerable of late, they surely cannot keep the Bavarians at bay for 90 minutes - it may require a major upset for Maurizio Sarri's side to prevail after next month's second leg.
