Paris Saint-Germain have already made history by becoming the first French team to win back-to-back Champions League titles, and apart from Real Madrid, no team has achieved that feat in the last 20 years.
Luis Enrique's side have made a stuttering start to the new campaign, failing to win any of their Ligue 1 matches so far and sitting 14th in the league table.
Each of PSG's last 10 matches has seen Under 10.5 corners
After losing 1-0 to Lens in the French Champions Trophy, PSG drew 2-2 with both Rennes and Lille before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Monaco in their most recent match.
Despite Enrique adding new faces to the attacking line-up during the summer transfer window, PSG are likely to rely heavily on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who set a new club record by registering 16 goal involvements in as many Champions League games last season.
Slovan are the Slovakian champions, but they failed to qualify for the Champions League main round last season after losing to Kairat.
This season, however, has been a different story, as they won 4-1 on aggregate against Mjallby before beating Celje 3-2 in the play-off round.
Five of Slovan's last seven matches have produced Under 10.5 corners.
Yaya Toure's side are currently fourth in the Slovakian league, four points behind leaders DAC 1904, having picked up four wins and suffered two defeats so far.
They head into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats to Michalovce and DAC 1904, conceding four goals in the process.
