Barcelona v PSG Betting Tips [16 April 2024]

Barcelona hold a narrow advantage over PSG ahead of the Champions League quarterfinal second leg, with a place in the semis on offer. Camp Nou is all set to host this match on Tuesday, with Barcelona holding a 3-2 lead from the first leg in Paris. The Catalans are at this stage of the tournament for the first time since 2019/20 and had a brace from Raphinha plus a late goal from Andreas Christensen to earn the win in Paris. They followed it up with a 1-0 win over Cadiz in the La Liga competition, making it a sixth victory in a row in all competitions. With no losses in their last 13 competitive matches, Barcelona have set the platform to win this leg and qualify for the semis. Giving impetus to those hopes is Barcelona’s home record in recent times with five wins and a draw across their last six matches.

PSG had the weekend off after losing to Barcelona in the first leg. After conceding first in the match in Paris, PSG bounced back with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha to take a 2-1 lead, but conceded twice to concede a narrow lead. The Parisians are in the last eight for the first time in three seasons, but now they need a strong performance in Barcelona to move further. The loss in the first leg was a rarity for PSG, as it was their first since early November across competitions. That said, PSG have struggled on the continental stage, failing to win four of their last six matches in this competition. They did win their last match on the road in the Champions League, away at Real Sociedad, but PSG had two defeats and a draw in three away Champions League games prior to that.

This is a great chance for Luis Enrique to etch his name into record books. He can mastermind a comeback over his former club Barcelona and take PSG into the semis. That would require his side to rebound and revive from the one-goal advantage they conceded in the first leg. Barcelona are in a better frame of mind than their visitors, but this match promises to be a classic. Our prediction for Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain is for both teams to score goals.
