Barcelona vs PSG prediction and betting tips on April 16, 2024 by Jason Collins
The first return leg of the Champions League quarterfinals will take place on Tuesday, we offer an exclusive prediction for Barcelona vs PSG.
Barcelona
The Catalans are not having the brightest season, the Champions League is actually the only tournament in which the team can take the trophy. In the Primera, Barça is second, behind the leading Real Madrid by as much as 8 points. The team won its last match in the championship away from Cadiz - 1-0, thanks to a beautiful goal by Feliz. This victory was the fourth in a row in La Liga. Xavi's wards have gained confidence, they do not lose 13 games in a row, in all tournaments.
PSG
Parisians continue to dream about winning the Champions League, this tournament has never been conquered by the club. In Ligue 1 the team has no problems, PSG is leading, ahead of the nearest pursuer on 10 points, there is also an opportunity to take the French Cup, where in the final will have to play against Lyon. The current season of the Champions League Parisians spent confidently, but now it is necessary to get back on the road, perhaps Mbappe, who was closed in the first meeting, should show himself.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- Rivalries have held between them a lot of spectacular battles, and the first match in the first quarterfinal was no exception. Barça led 1:0 after the first half, but the Parisians scored twice at the start of the second half, the Catalans were able to turn the match, winning 3:2.
- Barça have lost only three times at home in all competitions this season.
- PSG has not lost away from home in 13 consecutive matches.
Barcelona vs PSG Prediction
In return meetings, teams usually play bolder, as there is no time to correct mistakes. Barça plays at home, although not at the famous Camp Nou, but bookmakers give the Catalans a slight edge. We expect something similar to the first game, when the match will go on the counter-course. A bet on a total of more than 2.5 goals looks quite acceptable.
