PSG v Barcelona Preview

PSG’s Form

PSG have dominated their domestic scene for over a decade winning 9 Ligue 1 titles with the only blot in their copy book the 2016/17 season and the 2020/21 season where they finished runners-up. They look on course to win it again this season with the side 10 points clear of Brest. However, despite their riches in a literal and figurative sense success in Europe very much has eluded them with them coming closest in the 2019/20 season when they were runners-up to Bayern.

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, albeit level with the former and 3 points ahead of the latter only. In their Round of 16 tie, they overcame Real Sociedad 4-1 on aggregate.

Last weekend PSG’s blushes were spared when Ramos got an 85th-minute equaliser against Clermont, although PSG rested most of their stars ahead of this game.

Barcelona’s Form  

It’s been a poor season for Barcelona and with the club currently trailing Real Madrid by 8 points with 8 games left in their La Liga season, this looks to be their sole silverware chance left in the 2023/24 season. However, despite it being a period of transition for the club there is plenty of class and exciting talent in their squad from Lewandowski and de Jong to Pedri, Gavi and Yamal.

To reach this stage of the Champions League they topped their Group with 12 points from their group games with Porto, Shakhtar and Antwerp. They overcame Napoli in the last round 4-2 on aggregate.

Barcelona’s last game was a 1-0 victory against Las Palmas on Saturday the 30th of March.

Key Players To Watch

Kylian Mbappé – PSG

It couldn’t be anyone else, could it? Arguably the best player in the world right now he has 39 goals and 9 assists in sixteen 40 this season. That record includes 6 Goals from 8 Games, and I fancy him to be the game-changer against Barcelona.

Lamine Yamal – Barcelona

The latest line in attacking prodigies to come out of the La Masia Academy is Lamine Yamal (16) who already looks to be a frightening prospect with 6 Goals and 7 Assists from 40 Matches this season including 1 Assist in the Champions League. Lamine ranks in the 87th Percentile for Successful Take Ons (87th Percentile) and 4.91 Progressive Carries (81st Percentile). He may just be Barcelona’s ace in the pack.

PSG v Barcelona Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: PSG 2-0 Barcelona

PSG for once are flying under the radar in the Champions League and I think that may suit them more rather than the lofty expectations of last year.

Barcelona are still Barcelona at the end of the day with world-class talent from top to bottom and are worthy of respect.

I fancy PSG to do enough here though.

Best Bet: PSG Win + Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/1
