Real Madrid v PSG Betting Tips [9 March 2022]

Real Madrid’s improvement since their loss to PSG has been remarkable and as they prepare to host the French giants in the return leg of their round of 16 clash in the Champions League, the target will be to overturn a 1-0 deficit. Real Madrid go into this game having won each of the last three matches since their loss to PSG. Their most recent was a 4-1 comeback win over Real Sociedad and they’ve scored eight in the last three matches while keeping two clean sheets. When facing PSG, Karim Benzema had just returned from injury but he is fully fit now and has scored in each of their last three matches. Real Madrid will particularly rely on his scoring prowess in the Champions League matches at home; he has four goals in the last four. This season, Benzema has already scored 30 goals for club and country, a highlight of how crucial he is for Real. In four of Real’s last five Champions League matches, the Spanish giants have scored two or more.

PSG haven’t enjoyed a run as good as Real Madrid’s after their last meeting; the Parisians have suffered two losses in three matches. They head into this game straight off a 1-0 loss to Nice in Ligue 1 and earlier they lost 3-1 to Nantes. The team they face here is way stronger than those two French sides and PSG will have to be at their best to handle Real Madrid. The French giants have no clean sheet in their last three matches while their last five in the Champions League have produced just one clean sheet. The biggest worry for PSG though, will be their away run in the Champions League. They face one of the best sides in this competition, yet away from home they are winless in the last four in this competition. They have no clean sheet in five away matches in the Champions League, and four times in those five matches, they’ve conceded two. 

PSG have a slim lead going into this game but their run. In the Champions league away from home hasn’t been impressive; they are winless in the last four and face an in-form Real Madrid. The Spanish side is in great form, and Karim Benzema is back at his best. The Frenchman is expected to lead the Real Madrid attack and we are backing him to score.
