PSG vs. Barcelona Picks, Predictions & Champions League Odds

Paris Saint-Germain hosts Barcelona on Tuesday afternoon in one of the marquee fixtures of this season’s Champions League schedule. Kickoff from Parc des Princes in Paris is set for 3 p.m. ET, with the match streaming on Paramount+.

Both clubs enter the third round of League Phase matches with six points after winning their first two contests.

PSG is chasing a third consecutive European title under manager Luis Enrique, and the French champions have picked up right where they left off last season.

After opening their Champions League campaign with a 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava, PSG traveled to England last Wednesday and defeated Manchester City 4-2 at Etihad Stadium. Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha and Maghnes Akliouche all scored as PSG handed City its first defeat of the season.

Barcelona has also enjoyed a perfect start to the competition, opening with a 5-1 victory over Feyenoord before picking up another three points in its second League Phase match against Galatasaray.

The two clubs have faced each other several times in the Champions League over the past decade. Barcelona eliminated PSG in the 2014-15 quarterfinals, while the French side returned the favor in the round of 16 in 2021 and the quarterfinals in 2024.

Their most recent knockout encounter came in April 2024, when PSG overturned a 3-2 first-leg defeat with a 4-1 victory in Barcelona to advance 6-4 on aggregate.

Best Bet for PSG vs. Barcelona

Raphinha Anytime Goalscorer (+100): Few players in European soccer have been as productive this season as Raphinha, who has already scored 14 times in nine appearances across La Liga and the Champions League.

The Brazilian has found the back of the net 12 times in eight La Liga matches, scoring in six of those appearances and recording four multi-goal performances. His strong form has carried over into Champions League play, where he scored twice in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory over Feyenoord in September.

An injury temporarily interrupted his outstanding start, but Raphinha returned to action on October 17, playing 20 minutes off the bench in Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Betis. He didn’t score in that appearance, although getting back on the pitch should help him regain his rhythm ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League showdown.

He’ll now face a PSG defense that has conceded goals in each of its first two European matches, including a pair against Manchester City last week. Additionally, they’ll be without star left back Nuno Mendes after he suffered a thigh injury over the weekend against Strasbourg.

With both clubs capable of generating plenty of offense, this match has the potential to develop into an entertaining, back-and-forth contest in Paris.

We’re taking Raphinha Anytime Goalscorer (+100) to find the back of the net against PSG.
