Barcelona vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
Barcelona :
Above the European continent dark clouds together where Barcelona plays, but in Spain itself, the sun has come out again for the team of Luis Enrique. The trainer, who will leave after this season, Real Madrid sees more and more lose points and Barcelona has been the lead take over. Barca has to address one more point, but have a game less played over its closest competitor. But since Barcelona has yet to visit Real Madrid, they have full control.
On paper Barcelona in the Champions League also in their own hands, but after the 4-0 defeat against France will it be an extremely difficult task to advance to the quarterfinals. Barcelona had a good general by last weekend at home 5-0 win Celta Vigo, and a few days earlier Sporting Gijon also sent with the tail between the legs home (6-1). And for Barcelona already had the difficult away match against Atletico Madrid managed to win 1-2.
But whichever way you look at it, these are all teams (Atlético after) that are still a bit less than Paris Saint-Germain. Never has a team able to brush off a 4-0 away defeat in the history of the Champions League knockout phase. The European Cup is time that occurred five times. And the 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2012/13 season came so hard that Barcelona lost the subsequent home game with 0-3. These are not good signs for the Catalans, who are hunting for a stunt.
Probable lineup Barcelona
Ter Stegen, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Rafinha, Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez, Neymar
Paris SG :
While Paris Saint-Germain is not inserted in his best form, the Parisians will travel with the confidence to Spain. The French know that a 4-0 victory hurry is not to give way, and when you consider that they were defensively excellent in the home game (Suarez, Neymar and Messi were all three and not one shot) it should nevertheless not be difficult to survive the return. A single away goal makes Barcelona in total but must score no less than six times.
Last weekend, PSG still had the greatest difficulty with low kite Nancy. The Parisians have enormous opportunities, but they did not finish. Eventually had a penalty, which was exploited by Edinson Cavani, help. But Nancy had his chances, something Unai Emery must also concern. On the other hand, he did leave players like Blaise Matuidi start on the bench, just as Meunier, Draxler and Marquinhos. Di Maria and Rabiot were injured or sick and are still, but could probably play doubt for the encounter with Barcelona.
Paris Saint-Germain won in the past, not a single away game against Barcelona, PSG but you do not win. PSG has also never had to collect more than three goals against Barcelona, so in that respect they are completely cooked. In addition, PSG into the last four Champions League tournaments always survived the last sixteen, but was it everytime knocked in the quarterfinals of the tournament. The real challenge begins perhaps only then, if it comes to that.
Probable lineup Paris Saint Germain
Trapp, Meunier, Marquinhos, Silva, Kurzawa, Verratti, Rabiot, Matuidi, Di Maria, Cavani, Draxler
