Barcelona vs PSG Predictions

• Barcelona have won each of their last five games
• PSG have some big injury absentees, including Dembele, Doue, and Neves
• The visitors lost at Marseille last week for the first time in 14 years

Injuries to hold PSG back

Barcelona against PSG was the final most neutrals wanted last season, but we’re going to have to wait before seeing the two sides clash at full strength.

This heavyweight encounter remains one of the week’s standout clashes, but PSG make the trip without Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue. Their midfield is also weakened, with Joao Neves also expected to miss out.

An injury-hit PSG side were caught out in a 1-0 loss at Marseille, their first league defeat at OM in 14 years. After last season’s long unbeaten run domestically, an early defeat shows that the European champions aren’t at their best right now.

Barcelona have won seven of their last eight games, while they’re getting the most out of their attacking players. Marcus Rashford popped up with another assist in their weekend win over Real Sociedad.

Robert Lewandowski is also a man in form. After a late start to the season due to injury, the Polish forward has five goals in six games for club and country. He’s struck in back-to-back La Liga games, so he can trouble this PSG side.

The French side should struggle without the midfield which dominated so many ties last term. However, the Catalans have conceded in five of their last seven games, so back Barca to win and concede.
