Champions League betting tips and predictions for Barcelona v PSG on Tuesday from our expert football tipsters.
PSG face a mountain to climb as they head to Barcelona for the second leg of their Champions League tie. The match is live on ITV at 19:45 and here are some free football betting tips for you.
Barcelona v PSG Betting Preview
Barcelona made light work of an injury and suspension ravaged PSG side last week as Messi and co ran out 3-1 winners on the night. In fairness, the deficit could and should have been far more comfortable heading into Tuesday's second leg tie. The Catalan giants never looked in trouble throughout the 90 minutes, with Luis Suarez producing an outstanding performance up front for his side.
Luis Enrique's men have also carried this fine form into the weekend and have now recorded seven wins and a draw from their last eight games. Once again, Suarez was on the scoresheet to take his tally to 19 for the season and six in his last six and he has to be considered for our PSG v Barcelona betting tips. Considering the Uruguayan only scored twice in his first ten appearances, this is a very impressive turnaround.
PSG head to Spain chasing a miracle, but they do have Marco Veratti and Zlatan Ibrahimovic available after serving their bans. Perhaps more remarkably, though, Thiago Silva also has an outside chance of featuring after his muscle injury is not as bad as first feared. Judging by the way David Luiz dealt with Luis Suarez in the last game, he'll be as desperate as anyone for Silva to make the eleven.
Form wise, the French Champions did shake off their midweek humbling and recorded a fine 3-1 win away at Nice. That victory was their third straight in the league and forth if you include their domestic triumph in the League Cup final. They are, however, leaking goals and have only kept one clean sheet in their last six matches in Ligue 1. This really doesn't bode well for a potential shut-out at the Camp Nou.
Being a straight knockout match, goal difference really makes no difference whatsoever. For this reason, I would expect there to be a few goals on the cards and this certainly highlights the appeal of a BTTS outcome. At odds of 4/7, it's perhaps a little measly to bet on outright unless you've got a pretty sizeable bankroll or looking to include in an accumulator. However, Barcelona to win and BTTS is on offer at 33/20 with Coral and that’s our first football prediction for Barcelona v PSG this week. This was the result in the last two meetings between the sides and I can see it happening again on Tuesday night.
Heading over to the goalscoring market, and based on his fine recent form, Luis Suarez has to be in our thinking to make it onto the scoresheet. With Lionel Messi playing a slightly more withdrawn role on the right, Suarez is certainly getting more chances as the central forward. With this in mind, our tipster says bet on Suarez to score first and anytime in the match at even money with the same bookmaker. Suarez scored in the first minute against Valencia this weekend, let's hope he does the same against PSG.
