PSG vs Barcelona

All eyes will be on Parc des Princes when PSG and Barcelona lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Champions League round-three encounter. Luis Enrique’s men are riding a six-game winning streak after beating Manchester City 4-2 in Europe before coming from behind to defeat Strasbourg 3-1 in Ligue 1. The French champions are expected to make several changes, with Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele all pushing to return to the starting XI. PSG have averaged 3.33 goals per home game, highlighting the threat they pose in front of their own supporters.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are in equally impressive form, having beaten Galatasaray 4-1 before recording a thrilling 5-2 victory over Real Betis. Hansi Flick’s side have been scoring freely throughout their winning run, with Raphinha and Dani Olmo among those expected to return to the starting lineup. However, Eric Garcia has been ruled out with injury, while Jules Kounde will also miss the trip to Paris, weakening Barcelona’s defensive options. Gabriel Jesus is doubtful after picking up a knock against Betis. As Barcelona have been scoring 4.20 goals per away game of late, a real football festival is on the cards in the "City of Love".

Both attacks should find opportunities in an encounter that has regularly produced goals, with 10 of the 13 previous meetings featuring over 2.5 goals. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals seems like a sure betting option, alongside BTTS and BTTS First Half.
