PSG vs Barcelona: Match preview
PSG have made a somewhat inconsistent start to the new season. The Parisians lost the French Super Cup 1–0 to Lens and then went three consecutive matches without a win. However, Luis Enrique's side subsequently found their form and have been producing impressive results, winning six matches in a row. Four of those victories came in Ligue 1, while the other two were in the Champions League. PSG thrashed Slovan Bratislava 6–1 and beat Manchester City 4–2. Now, they face a very difficult test against Barcelona.
The Catalan giants have been playing incredible football at the start of this season. Hansi Flick's side have won every match they have played in all competitions. Barcelona have collected the maximum 27 points from nine rounds in La Liga and sit top of the table, five points ahead of the team in second place and six ahead of Real Madrid. They also boast the league's best attack. In the Champions League, Barça have won both of their matches as well, beating Feyenoord 5–1 and Galatasaray 4–1. The Catalans are clear favourites to win trophies across all competitions, but they will need to maintain this remarkable run to do so.
Predicted lineups
- PSG: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Digne; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
- Barcelona: Garcia; Espart, Cubarsi, G. Martin, Cancelo; Pedri, Rodri; Yamal, Lopez, Gordon; Raphinha
Prediction
We are in for a spectacular match between two teams that know how to attack and love to play on the front foot. I recommend betting on over 4 goals in this game.
