Barcelona vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
The eighth finals of the Champions League are about to begin. We immediately fall in the butter, because on Tuesday evening we will be presented with the titanic battle between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain from the Camp Nou. When you think of that top poster you might think back to ‘La Remontada’ from three years ago, when the Spaniards wrote Champions League history against the French by brushing away a 4-0 defeat from the first leg. Will we get to see so much football spectacle again this time?
Barcelona:
You will have noticed that Ronald Koeman is experiencing a difficult first season as a trainer at FC Barcelona. The Spanish national title can almost certainly write on their stomachs, and in the group stage of the Champions League they had to let Juventus go ahead. It is therefore not surprising that the bookmakers give the five-time Champions League winner few chances in the European ball of millions this year: at Unibet you get no less than 21 times your stake if FC Barcelona manages to write The Cup with the Big Ears to its name. .
Yet FC Barcelona has recently managed to turn its back on. Since the turn of the year, the Blaugrana have won thirteen of their fifteen games in all competitions, including last weekend’s simple 5-1 victory over Alaves. This is of course largely due to the excellent form of Lionel Messi, who has managed to recover after a dull first half of the season. The diptych against Paris Saint-Germain is extra spicy for him, because the French top club is doing everything it can to bring him to Paris next summer. Koeman will therefore have no trouble motivating his star player, but will have to puzzle a lot in the back. Sergi Roberto and Ronald Araujo are both in the rag basket, while Gerard Pique is also not quite fit. Frenkie de Jong could possibly be pulled back one line, but of course he comes into his own much better in midfield.
Paris Saint-Germain:
The Paris Saint-Germain season is also not going smoothly. The French football giant was crowned the group winner during the group stage of the Champions League, but has to settle for second place in its own country for the time being. The poor results in their own country were reason enough for the Qatari owners to send Thomas Tuchel out of action just before Christmas.
Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as successor, but he too is already under fire in the Parc des Princes. Last week, he chose to give Neymar a basic place in the relatively unimportant cup match against second division Caen. The Brazilian attacker was injured from the field, so he has to miss the first match against his old club FC Barcelona. Angel di Maria also stayed in Paris due to injuries. The French attack on Tuesday evening will therefore mainly have to come from Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi, while there is a question mark behind the name of Marco Verratti.
