Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona predicted formations

Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona at Parc des Princes on Tuesday, October 20 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

There are no fresh fitness concerns flagged for either squad heading into this one, so both managers should have their most dangerous players available. Paris Saint-Germain can call on Dembélé, who already has 2 goals and 6 chances created in this sample, alongside Fabián Ruiz in midfield and Hakimi providing an outlet from the back. Barcelona counter with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal spearheading the attack, with Yamal’s 10 chances created and 4 assists making him the most creative player in this fixture.

Expect goals at both ends rather than a backs-to-the-wall shutout: Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Feyenoord and Paris Saint-Germain’s 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in their most recent outings suggest neither defense is built to keep a clean sheet here. This has the feel of a tight, high-event contest in which the visitors’ firepower — Raphinha and Lamine Yamal both already among the goals — proves just enough to get the better of a dangerous home side.

Correct ScoreParis Saint-Germain 1-2 BarcelonaA one-goal margin fits a Barcelona side that scores freely without shutting opponents out, while Paris Saint-Germain's own attacking returns, including Ferran Torres' tally in this sample, should get on the scoresheet at the other end.
