Our Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona prediction centres on a mouthwatering UEFA Champions League tie at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where the two heavyweights meet on Tuesday night with kickoff set for 20:00 WAT.
Both sides arrive in relentless recent form, having each won their last five matches in all competitions, and they are locked together at the top of the UCL league phase. For punters, this is one of the most fascinating bets of the midweek: the bookmakers can barely split the two teams, goals have flowed at both ends all season, and the recent head-to-head history points to another shootout. A draw looks the shrewdest angle in a match neither side can afford to lose, and Tuesday’s contest could go a long way to deciding who finishes top of the league phase.
