PSG vs Barcelona Picks, Prediction

Over 4.5 Goals (+104)

PSG have scored 10 goals through two Champions League games, including four at Manchester City, while Barcelona have scored nine. All four of those combined UCL matches have produced at least five total goals.

The domestic numbers support the same idea. PSG are averaging 20.9 shots and 7.3 shots on target per Ligue 1 match while Barcelona are at 21.2 shots and 8.4 shots on target in La Liga. Barcelona have gone over 3.5 goals in 78% of their league matches en route to scoring 39 goals through nine outings. (Yes, 39!)

Barcelona’s defensive absences add another reason to expect chances. Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia are expected to miss out while PSG are without Nuno Mendes.

With a ton of attacking talent on the pitch and two sides that love to push forward, we should see lots of chances.

Barcelona vs PSG Projected Lineups

Barcelona: Joan Garcia; Xavi Espart, Gerard Martin, Pau Cubarsi, Joao Cancelo; Rodri, Pedri, Dani Olmo; Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Anthony Gordon.

PSG: Matvey Safonov; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Lucas Digne; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Soccer Betting FAQ

What is a moneyline bet in soccer?

A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win the match. Because soccer matches can end in a draw, most moneyline markets include three options: the home team, the away team, or a draw.

What does “draw no bet” mean?

Draw no bet removes the draw as a losing outcome. If the match ends tied, your wager is refunded. If your team wins, the bet wins.

What is a soccer total?

A total is a bet on how many combined goals will be scored in a match. For example, an Over 2.5 Goals bet wins if at least three goals are scored.

What does “both teams to score” mean?

Both Teams to Score, often abbreviated BTTS, is a wager on whether each team will score at least one goal during the match.
