PSG v Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips and Predictions

Paris Saint Germain host German side Bayern Leverkusen in the second leg of the Champions League last sixteen on Wednesday night and we have free football betting tips.

The tie is all but over after the French side’s dominant display in Germany a fortnight ago. PSG were brilliant in the first leg, and have a 4-0 lead to defend in Paris. Unsurprisingly they are firm favourites for the return fixture, with best odds on a home win coming from bet365 at just 2/5, whilst Leverkusen are way out at 8/1 with the same company, who also offer the best price on the draw at 4/1.

You have to go way back to 1993 for the last (and only) time a French side won the competition when Marseille beat Milan 1-0 in Munich, but PSG certainly look as though they could end that drought in the coming seasons as they have assembled a very strong side who will fear absolutely no one, regardless of who they are drawn against in the next round. In Zlatan Ibrahimovic they have one of the best strikers in the world, who has 10 goals already in this years competition. He added two to that tally in Germany two weeks ago, and on his day is unplayable. It is in attack where PSG have a wealth of talent, with Ibrahimovic supported by Cavani and Lavezzi, and unsurprisingly these three are at the top of bookies lists when it comes to scoring goals on Wednesday night. Ladbrokes have Ibrahimovic at 11/4 to score the first of the match, and to be honest it would be foolish to look anywhere else on this market given the mans talent. The real question is whether Laurent Blanc will rest the Swedish striker, given the advantage held by his side from the first leg. If Ibrahimovic does play, another market to look at is the score win double. Bet Fred offer 20/21 on Ibrahimovic scoring with PSG winning, which is very generous given his record in the competition so far and the dominance of PSG in Germany.

Ties like this are always tough to call. PSG hold such a huge advantage they can probably afford to rest one or two key players, and occasionally teams in such a position can be guilty of taking their foot off the gas over the second leg. I do expect them to win, but it might just be less convincing and by a smaller margin than they are truly capable of. There is a clear gulf in class between these two sides, and while normally it would be very likely PSG would win this tie by a margin of three goals or more (5/2 with Sky Bet), I would be cautious when looking at this market. However, the French giants have an air of professionalism around them which has perhaps been absent, certainly in this competition, in years gone by. Even with the tie wrapped up and the risk of complacency setting in, I can see no other result than a PSG win. Bet Way offer 3/2 on the home side winning to nil which should be considered a real possibility. One final market to look at which does represent decent value is the handicap market, where Sky bet are offering evens on PSG -1. As I have said, PSG should have no problems in this one, in front of a home crowd they should run away with it and to see them win by a margin of two goals or more would be no surprise. Bet Victor offer 13/5 on PSG -2, which is also a real possibility if you are feeling slightly riskier.
