Champions League
In the previous four h2h games, these teams met in 2024 and 2021 in the Champions League Quarter Finals and 1/8 Finals. PSG won twice, while Barcelona won once. However, more importantly, the Parisians managed to eliminate the Catalan team on both occasions.
Looking further back, in the past ten h2h games, Barcelona won five times, and PSG won four times. When it comes to the number of goals, eight out of the last ten h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in the same number of games (eight).
Barcelona team overview
Last year, Barcelona secured both La Liga and the Copa Del Rey titles. Unfortunately, they only reached the Semi-Finals in the Champions League as Inter eliminated them on a 7:6 aggregate. For this season, the goal for Barca remains the same - to win it all. And for now, they are doing a fantastic job as they are in the top spot in La Liga with 19 points in the first seven rounds and look absolutely amazing, both offensively and defensively.
However, the team has problems with injuries, especially in the goal, as both Joan Garcia, who arrived this summer for 25 million euros, and Marc-André ter Stegen are injured. With them out, Barca's only choice is the 35-year-old Wojciech Szczesny. Besides two goalkeepers, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Raphinha, who missed the previous game(s), should remain sidelined.

PSG team overview
PSG have been a dominant force in France for over a decade. Last season, they once again won both domestic titles, but their biggest achievement was in the Champions League, considering they finally won their first trophy in 55 years of club history. This season, their goal is to try to repeat last season's success. Considering they kept most of their key players (except for Gianluigi Donnarumma), we have every reason to believe they are capable of it.
This year, they started the Champions League well, beating Atalanta 2:0 at home, and are also at the top of the French Ligue 1. However, PSG will have several key players out for the Barca game - Marquinhos, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and the Ballon d'Or winner, Ousmane Dembele. Meanwhile, Fabian Ruiz and Desire Doue are listed as doubtful.

Prediction
Barcelona have been incredible offensively this season, scoring a total of 23 goals in eight matches - almost 2.9 per game. Due to a great offensive performance, Barcelona went over 2.5 goals in seven out of eight games - 87.5%.
PSG also did well, winning six out of seven games and scoring a total of 16 goals - 2.3 per game. We firmly believe they can offer a good offensive display even on the road against Barcelona.
Also, five out of the last six h2h games ended with three or more goals and an average of 4.7 goals per game! Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and both teams' excellent offensive performances, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet should be the safest option for this Champions League tie.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Barcelona went over 2.5 goals in seven out of eight games
- Barcelona scored two or more goals in seven out of eight games
- PSG averaged 2.3 scored goals per game
- Five of the last six h2h games ended with three or more goals
