Barcelona vs. PSG Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Barcelona vs. PSG at UEFA Champions League

Where: Olympic Stadium, Barcelona, Spain
When: Wednesday, April 17, 03:00 AM

The first game in Paris took an unexpected turn, with the Catalonians winning that event. Blaugrana stunned PSG, which is why they have a 3-2 edge and a solid situation before the rematch. However, knowing PSG and their quality, this doesn’t mean anything. In a game like this one, the home-court edge doesn’t mean anything. It is all or nothing for the guests who have nothing to lose, and in such cases, the “wounded” unit is the most dangerous.

Barcelona vs. PSG Preview

Barcelona

Xavi’s crew exploited PSG’s weakness in the back line in the best possible way, using the pacey wingers who often ran between the center-backs into open space. Of course, nothing would have happened if there hadn’t been composure in the midfield and a very strict and tactical approach.

This was the 12th consecutive event for Blaugrana that they hadn’t lost, which signaled that Xavi probably targeted the form for this part of the campaign. Many stated following a 0-3 win over Atletico on the road when Barca rolled over the Mattress Makers.

Lewandowski and the boys have four wins in a row at home, three of them without a goal conceded, which is encouraging ahead of this battle. After all, PSG’s strongest part of the unit is the attack, and Barca’s defense needs to be sharp.

PSG

The biggest question right now concerns PSG’s morale following Wednesday’s loss. We often saw the Saints plummet in the most important moments, and we eagerly await their response in Spain. Everlasting stories about Mbappe’s dissatisfaction are emerging in all of the media, so Luis Enrique has plenty on his mind right now.

After 27 matches without a loss, PSG slipped at the worst possible moment. To make it even more painful, they allowed all goals pretty easily, after sort of “hit-and-run” situations.

The defense is highly vulnerable, and recent stats prove that as well. In six of the past seven events, the Saints allowed at least one goal. This indicates certain troubles that have been present for a long time.

Barcelona vs PSG Head to Head

As said, the first meeting ended 2-3 in Barca’s favor. It was the fourth consecutive direct encounter with both teams netting and the ninth in the last 11. Also, it was the fifth in the previous seven with over 2.5 goals.

Barcelona vs. PSG Predictions

PSG will have to attack, that’s for sure. No matter Barca’s focus on lowering the tempo and slowing down this event, we believe there will be at least three goals included here. As time goes by, regardless of the result, one side will become nervous and impatient, which will cause it to go all in. And in such a situation, goals are inevitable.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
