[(Tottenham Hotspur F.C.) Weakness]:
1. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. faced a humiliating defeat in the North London derby over the weekend, and the current injury crisis within the squad is significantly impacting the team's performance. Playing away against the strong Paris Saint-Germain FC, they seem somewhat low on confidence, and even securing a single point would be considered an achievement, indicating a relatively low motivation to win.
2. Tottenham Hotspur F.C.'s starting attacker James Maddison is expected to be sidelined for an extended period due to a knee injury. Besides, both Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are also unavailable. The absence of so many important players is leaving head coach Thomas Frank struggling to arrange the squad effectively.

6. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. won only 4 of the previous 10 games and lost 3 of the last 4 away ones in AH.

[Tips]:
Paris Saint-Germain FC have been performing steadily in Ligue 1, maintaining the top position in the standings after two consecutive wins.

The team can still focus on the Champions League, and although they are missing attackers Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, their recent attacking performance does not seem to be significantly affected, especially against an injury-plagued Tottenham Hotspur F.C.

They are likely to leverage their strength to suppress their opponents.

Tottenham's performance in the league is gradually declining due to injuries, especially in defense, and head coach Thomas Frank is at a disadvantage.

In this away match against PSG, their only option may be to defend strongly.

After losing to Bayern Munich in their last Champions League match, PSG will not miss the opportunity to secure a victory against the weakened Tottenham.

Given the current AH line favoring the home team, it seems unlikely that PSG will face difficulties in achieving a commanding win at home.
