Barcelona v PSG

Barcelona vs PSG Preview

It was a wild night in Paris last Wednesday night with Barcelona running out 3-2 winners against PSG at the Parc des Princes in the 1st leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie and Barcelona now return to their Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for this upcoming return leg having collected a sixth win on the trot in all competitions on Saturday, while PSG have had the weekend off in Ligue 1.

Four wins on the trot in the Spanish top flight against Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, Las Palmas and Cadiz along with wins in the Champions League against Napoli and last week's win against PSG should set Xavi's side up nicely for this upcoming 2nd leg at their Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys where the hosts will be looking to progress into the semi-finals of this season's competition.

The Spanish hosts are now unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions and this decent run of results include picking up 10 wins in the process, so the hosts will be in confident mood as they prepare for the visit of their French counterparts on Tuesday night.

On the Champions League front, Barcelona have lost just twice in their last 10 ties overall, both of which were on the road as well as winning seven of these 10 games.

PSG have it all to do on Tuesday night when they make their way to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for Tuesday night's return leg of this Champions League quarter-final but the visitors were not involved in domestic Ligue 1 action over the weekend so Luis Enrique's side will be well rested.

Last week's 3-2 defeat to Barcelona at the Parc des Princes ended a previously impressive 27-match unbeaten sequence in all competitions so the French visitors will also fancy their chances of turning around this 3-2 deficit on Tuesday night especially as they have put together an unbeaten run of 13 games on their travels heading into this 2nd leg, picking up 10 wins in the process.

However, previous displays in the Champions League have produced a mixed bag of results for PSG who have managed to capture just four wins from their last 11 ties overall along with being handed five defeats within this period as well, with three of these five defeats being inflicted upon the French side on the road at the likes of Bayern Munich, Newcastle United and AC Milan respectively.

Barcelona v PSG Verdict

Barcelona have lost just twice in the last eight meetings against PSG in the Champions League which includes picking up five wins as well, so the hosts look the more likely to secure another win on Tuesday night to send Xavi's side into the semi-finals.

Therefore, our main bet will be Barcelona win @ 2.15

Other side bets worth considering:
