Barcelona v PSG Preview

Barcelona’s Form

While La Liga glory is unlikely with 7 games remaining they trail Real Madrid by 8 points on the table. Their Champions League form has been a lot more positive, initially topping their Group with 12 points from their group games with Porto, Shakhtar and Antwerp. They then overcame Napoli in the Round of 16 winning 4-2 on aggregate.

In their Quarter Final first leg, they deserved 2-3 winners over PSG, despite having less possession (41%) and Total Shots 15 compared to PSG's 59% and 18. They created far better chances with their limited possession accumulating an XG of 1.95 compared to PSG with 1.19.

Ahead of the second leg Barcelona earned a 0-1 win over Cadiz with Felix proving the difference maker.

PSG’s Form

PSG have dominated domestically for longer than a decade winning 9 of the last 10 Ligue 1 titles. They look on course to do so again with 6 games remaining they are 10 clear of Brest with a game in hand. To reach this stage of the Champions League they finished runner-up in the “Group of Death” behind Dortmund but ahead of Milan and Newcastle before dispatching Real Sociedad 4-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16.

The biggest story from their first-leg defeat was the performance of Kylian Mbappe which left a lot to be desired. The World Class attacker was subpar at best with a shot accuracy of 0% from 3 shots with 2 blocked, he only completed 1/5 of his dribbles, was offside 3 times and was dispossessed once.

PSG did not play at the weekend so it’ll be interesting to see whether they will be sluggish or sharper with the break following their first leg loss.

Key Players To Watch

Raphinna – Barcelona

The former Leeds attacker has had a solid first season at the club with 8 goals scored and 10 assists from 31 matches in all competitions. He proved to be the match-winner in the first leg with a brace of goals from 6 shots he created 3 chances and had a shot accuracy of 100%.

Kylian Mbappé – PSG

Following his disappointing performance in the first leg, he will be out to make things right and he remains to have the ability to turn the tide on its head by himself if in the mood. Mbappé has 39 goals and 9 assists from 41 matches this season which is a record which speaks for itself.

Barcelona v PSG Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Barcelona 2-1 PSG

Barcelona head into this match with home advantage and a goal advantage from the first leg so it’ll be interesting to see how Xavi tactically approaches this game and how he will attempt to kill any PSG onslaught.

The key for PSG is Mbappé if he turns up for the second leg this tie could easily still turn in their favour and that’s without mentioning the talent they will have from back to front the return of Hakimi at RB could also be huge.

This tie is impossible to call and I reckon it could go to Extra Time or even penalties to decide the winner.

Best Bet: Barcelona to qualify in Extra Time @ 12/1
