The Champions League has two notable fixtures on Wednesday: Liverpool travel to LASK Linz, while Manchester City host Paris Saint-Germain. Both matches are part of the 2026-2027 season. The club had opened its European campaign with a win over Atlético Madrid, earning its first three points in the league phase.
After losing to AEK Athens on the opening matchday, LASK Linz will hope home advantage and its supporters can help it secure a positive result and improve its position. The club has lost three of its last four matches across all competitions.
At home, they are aiming to collect three more points in the continental competition. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, will seek to build on its strong start, having begun with a 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava. The French side also comes into the game after a 3-1 victory over Le Mans and will hope for a positive result away from home.
