PSG vs Barcelona Predictions
For these two clubs, the Champions League is essential this season.
Paris Saint-Germain do not depend on Europe’s premier competition for silverware. Ten points ahead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, it remains to be seen when they will win the title. PSG is also qualified for the Coupe de France final, where it will face Lyon.
However, it is the Champions League that they dream of the most. Since its acquisition by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011, PSG’s mission is to be crowned king of the continent for the first time in its history.
After a few near misses and several ignominious exits over the past decade, the French capital club are hoping this year will finally be their year.
Barcelona, for their part, needs the Champions League to save their season. Despite an improvement in form in recent months, Xavi Hernández’s side are eight points behind Real Madrid in La Liga. The title will almost certainly elude them.
Barcelona lost to eventual winners Athletic Bilbao in the Athletic Club quarter-finals. Failure in Europe would therefore leave them empty-handed this season.
So the stakes are high. Barcelona beat Napoli 4-2 on aggregate in the round of 16, but this will be a tougher test. The same goes for PSG, who beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in the home leg last time out.
Of course, these two teams met in the 2016/17 edition of this competition. PSG won the first leg 4-0 at the Parc des Princes, before collapsing in a stunning 6-1 defeat in the second leg at the Camp Nou.
We might expect a more low-key affair this time around, at least in the first leg. Will it be PSG advantage or Barcelona advantage after Wednesday evening?

PSG vs Barcelona Betting Tips
Both Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona will be looking to take a first-leg lead in this quarter-final.
Barcelona or draw – 10/11 (BetMGM)
Luis Enrique will face his former club on Wednesday. The former Barcelona coach won the Champions League with the Blaugrana in 2014/15 and he is now looking to go all the way with PSG.
Some thought the French champions would struggle against Real Sociedad in the round of 16, but PSG were mostly quite comfortable. But Barcelona have what it takes to make their lives more difficult.
PSG warmed up for the first leg with a disappointing 1-1 draw against bottom-placed Clermont at the Parc des Princes.

Kylian Mbappe was often excluded from Ligue 1 before his departure this summer. Even though he is guaranteed to start this match, the whole situation is far from ideal.
Barcelona can take advantage of this. They have not lost any of the 11 matches they have played since Xavi announced he would leave the club at the end of the season in January.
The Catalan side are tough to beat again and we like their chances of avoiding defeat against PSG.

Under 2.5 goals – 6/5 (BetMGM)
There will be no shortage of offensive quality in Paris on Wednesday.
PSG’s frontline will likely include Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele alongside star of the show Mbappe, who scored three times in the round of 16. However, flying full-back Achraf Hakimi is banned.
For Barcelona, the experienced Robert Lewandowski, who has scored more Champions League goals than anyone except Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, will be flanked by Raphinha and the precocious 16-year-old Lamine Yamal.
Still, we expect defenses to prevail here. Champions League first legs are often tight and cagey, with both teams wary of making mistakes.
Last season, for example, three out of four quarter-final first legs scored two goals or less. With that in mind, these odds represent fantastic value.

Robert Lewandowski will score at any time – 33/20 (BetMGM)
Mbappé is the favorite in this market and it is difficult to bet against the PSG striker. But take a look at the aforementioned Lewandowski, who has featured numerous times in this competition for Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
It hasn’t been the best season of Lewandowski’s career, but most strikers on the planet would kill for his numbers.
The Polish international’s peak years may be behind him, but he has still found the net 20 times in 40 outings in all competitions.
Lewandowski will need to be patient at the top of the pitch on Wednesday as PSG look to dominate possession. But if a good opportunity presents itself, there is usually only one outcome.
At the price listed below, Lewandowski appears to be the better choice here.
