Premium Tips

Two free-scoring attacks should make for an open night in Paris, and these are our picks.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Ousmane Dembele to score anytime5/4 (Sky Bet)PSG have scored 10 goals across their opening two games, and Dembele has been central to their best attacking work from the right. The hosts put four past Manchester City last time out and six past Slovan Bratislava before that, so chances should flow again against a Barcelona side that has shipped a goal in each of its matches so far. At a shade over evens with Sky Bet, the France forward looks fairly priced to get on the scoresheet in front of his own crowd.
Over 12.5 total corners9/2 (Sky Bet)This is the pick for a game that should be stretched from the first whistle. PSG and Barcelona arrive as the league phase’s two leading scorers, with 10 and nine goals respectively from their opening two matches, and neither side has shown any appetite for sitting in. Attack-minded full-backs and a shared taste for wide overloads ought to force a steady stream of set-pieces at the Parc des Princes. At 9/2, backing the corner count to climb looks a smart way into such an open contest.

How PSG go into the game

PSG sit top of the Champions League league phase after winning both of their opening two games, racking up 10 goals in the process to lead the way on goal difference.

Their most recent outing brought a 4-2 win away at Manchester City, following an opening 6-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes. The one concern is at the back, with three goals conceded across those two victories and no clean sheet yet.

How Barcelona go into the game

Barcelona are right behind them in second, also with two wins from two and nine goals scored, separated from PSG only by the finest of margins.

They won 4-1 away at Galatasaray last time out, having opened with a 5-1 home victory over Feyenoord. Like their hosts, they have found the net freely but conceded in both games, with two goals shipped so far.

PSG vs Barcelona score prediction

We expect goals at both ends in a meeting of two in-form attacks. A 2-2 draw feels a fair reflection of two sides who have blown opponents away going forward but leaked at the other end. Score prediction: PSG 2-2 Barcelona.
