Barcelona heads into their clash with PSG with an impressive track record, securing victories in their last six games. In contrast, PSG has only managed to win two of their last six Champions League matches.
The recent form suggests goals are on the horizon, with Barcelona scoring in their last five Champions League games. Key player Robert Lewandowski has notched three goals in the tournament so far.
Having triumphed 3-2 in a tense first leg at the Parc des Princes, Barcelona aims to secure a double over the French giants at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys Stadium.
Raphinha’s early strike and a comeback from a 2-1 deficit in the first leg have handed Barcelona a crucial advantage. A subsequent 1-0 win against Cadiz in La Liga further bolsters their confidence for the second leg.
PSG, in contrast, may struggle, having had no fixture over the weekend. Their recent form includes two winless matches, including a draw against underdogs Clermont Foot.
Despite PSG’s progress to the quarter-finals, their Champions League journey has been lacklustre. They barely made it through the group stage and have won only two of their last six Champions League outings.
It’s a tall order for PSG to overturn the deficit in Catalonia. Barcelona seems a solid bet to seal the deal.
However, considering the goal-rich first leg, both teams are likely to find the net again. A wager on Barcelona to win with both teams scoring could be prudent.
Barcelona’s recent performances suggest a 3-1 scoreline in their favor is plausible. Lewandowski, in particular, is a strong candidate to make an impact, given his impressive goal-scoring record this season.
With 13 goals and eight assists in La Liga, Lewandowski is a pivotal figure for Barcelona, especially in crucial ties like this quarter-final clash.
