Barcelona vs PSG H2H

• The Cules have won 4 of their last 6 meetings
• They last met in the 2016-17 edition of the Champions League, where the Catalans won 6-1 to reach the quarterfinal
• Barca had lost the first leg of that tie by 4-0 before overturning it in the second leg

FC Barcelona to win: Why is this a good bet?

• Barcelona have won their last 5 La Liga matches
• Lionel Messi has scored 4 goals in his last 5 games in all competitions
• PSG may be without Neymar and Angel di Maria for this game
• The hosts have won their last 3 home matches against PSG
• PSG are still finding their identity under Mauricio Pochettino

Ronald Koeman-led FC Barcelona prepared for this intriguing Champions League tie over the weekend by beating Deportivo Alaves 5-1. It was a match that was reminiscent of Barcelona’s wonder days when they would dismantle the opposing defence with ease.

Messi scored a brace in that match while Griezmann did his part with 2 assists. Given the way the Catalans started the season, they have definitely come a long way in terms of improving their form and morale.

FCB is quickly closing down the gap between them and the league leaders Atletico Madrid. The Cules are currently in third place with 46 points, with a game in hand. They have not lost a league game since December. However, they have lost twice overall – once in the Supercopa de Espana and the other time in the Copa del Ray semifinal to Sevilla by 2-0.

As for Paris-Saint Germain, things are not entirely bleak for them. They beat Nice 2-1 over the weekend, picking up their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. They trail the Ligue 1 league leaders Lille by just a point at the second place with 54 points.

However, in the bigger scheme of things, we see a different picture. This is Pochettino’s first proper game as the head coach of PSG and he is heading into it without his key talismans like Neymar or Di Maria. Plus, Kylian Mbappe hasn’t scored a goal this year so far and isn’t in the best of the form.

All things considered, Barcelona should win this game. Their players are in a fine form and the morale is definitely high, while Paris Saint-Germain will look to fill in the gaps in the attack.

Both Teams to Score: Why is this a good bet?

Barca’s defence is not entirely immune right now and neither is PSG’s. Given a game of this stature, it is natural to expect goals from both sides.

Similarly, Barcelona have seen over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 Champions League matches. They have seen a similar trend against PSG as well, in 5 of their last 6 meetings. Given the sheer talent in both teams, we should definitely see over 2.5 goals in this game too.
