Barcelona vs PSG Preview
After Barcelona’s 3-2 victory last week, PSG will have to make up ground if they are to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.
Barcelona’s win in the first leg was commendable, with their defensive line impressively neutralising Mbappe’s impact on the game.
With morale soaring within the team, Barcelona has remained undefeated in their last 13 matches. Xavi must be pleased with their recent win against Cadiz, especially as he opted to rest key players in preparation for this crucial upcoming match.
PSG will be looking to overturn the deficit from the first leg. Their 27-game unbeaten streak was halted in the previous match when they conceded two rapid goals after leading 2-1.
Knowing the challenge his team faces in reaching the semifinals, Luis Enrique would have been encouraged by the full week of preparation. To overturn the tie, he’ll look to players like Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele to step up in this decisive match.
Barcelona vs PSG Predictions and Betting Tips
PSG to Win
PSG to win is our first tip for this enthralling Champions League clash, which is 2/1 with Lucky Block’s latest Barcelona vs PSG odds.
Despite PSG’s struggles on the road in Europe this season, with only one win in four matches, many observers argue that they were the superior team in the first leg against Barcelona. Although they simply couldn’t convert all of their chances.
Luis Enrique’s squad registered 18 shots in the first leg but only managed to convert two of them. We believe PSG will approach this match with a vengeance, leaving no room for missed opportunities.
In the first leg, PSG also outperformed Barcelona in terms of expected goals (xG), with PSG registering an xG of 1.76 compared to Barcelona’s 1.69.
While Barcelona effectively contained Mbappe in that match, it would be surprising if they could replicate that feat, considering Mbappe’s impressive record of 18 goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League, placing him sixth all-time at just 25 years old.
Additionally, PSG’s failure to reach the Champions League semi-finals since 2021 will only add to their determination to progress to the latter stages of the competition.
Kylian Mbappe to Score
Although the Frenchman’s impact was limited in the last game, it would be quite astonishing if he faced similar containment in the upcoming match.
As previously mentioned, Mbappe’s impressive tally of 18 goals in the Champions League knockout stages places him among football’s greatest. Additionally, he currently shares the second spot for the most goals in this season’s competition, having scored six goals.
Mbappe thrives in the Champions League, boasting an impressive record of 39 goals in just 41 appearances. With odds at evens, it seems to be a straight-foward choice.
Barcelona Team News
Due to suspensions, Christensen and Sergi Roberto will be unavailable for this match. Furthermore, Gavi and Balde will miss the rest of the campaign due to cruciate ligament injuries.
PSG Team News
Except for Nordi Mukiele, who is recovering from a concussion, and Presnel Kimpembe, who is still rehabilitating from a torn Achilles, Luis Enrique has a fully fit squad available for selection.
Barcelona vs PSG Odds
- Barcelona – 5/4
- Draw – 29/10
- PSG – 2/1
