Tipster’s Angel

Similar to the previous head to head matches, this is also expected to be a high scoring encounter. The current form and the home advantage are slightly tending towards Paris Saint-Germain.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.42

Both Barcelona and PSG are in top goal-scoring form as both the teams have scored the most number of goals in their respective leagues. In the last ten head to head matches, both teams scored in eight of those matches. Also, in the last five head to head matches which were played in Paris, both teams scored in four matches. The first leg of this fixture ended in a 4-1 away win for PSG. PSG have now scored a goal in four of the last five matches that they have played in all competitions. Even Barcelona have scored a goal in all of their last five matches that they have played in all competitions. So, similar to the first leg it is more likely that both the teams will find the back of the net at 1.42 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: PSG Win or Draw & Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.61

After beating Barcelona in the first leg by four goals to one, they will be really confident that they could hold the lead and advance to the next phase. In the last three head to head matches, PSG have won two and Barcelona have won just one match. All the last three head to head matches had over 1.5 goals in them. In the last nine matches, PSG have won eight matches and have lost just one match, with an aggregate total of over 1.5 goals in seven matches. Apart from that, Barcelona have won just six of their last nine matches, including one draw and two losses in all competitions. And also, over 1.5 goals were scored in all the nine matches that Barcelona played in all competitions. So it is more likely that PSG will at least salvage a point from this clash and over 1.5 goals will be scored at 1.61 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

PSG have all the advantage that they need as they are leading the tie by three goals and also they have scored four away goals. It would take the same effort that Barcelona put against PSG in the round of 16 of the Champions League 16/17. But it looks like PSG will hold the league anf make it to the next phase.
