The Champions League returns on Tuesday with a mouth-watering feast of footy promised, as the favourites stroll into Paris.
Outright betting odds pitch Barcelona at 4.35 to lift the title in May, but Luis Enrique’s stars face a tough task in the first of Tuesday’s last-16 football games. And many a Parisien football betting fan will be backing his heroes to give the favourites a shock.
PSG vs Barcelona
Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic PSG has turned to Uruguay international Edinson Cavani to score the goals to take the Ligue 1 millionaires to the top of the league. He’s thriving in his bigger responsibility at the Parc des Princes and the switch inside, following Zlatan’s departure, has lifted Cavani to the level of a prolific striker. His mixture of aggression, pace and a clinical eye has made him a goal a game striker as PSG home on another title, and he already has six in Champions League this year.
PSG has four wins on the bounce in all competitions but Barcelona has better players than any they tend to meet in France. Chasing Real Madrid in La Liga and in the final of the Copa del Rey, the visitors are desperate to keep the trophies coming and Lionel Messi is already looking for his 11th goal in this year’s competition.
Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund
Borussia visit the Estadio da Luz to meet Rui Vitoria’s Benfica which has won its last two home matches 3-0 and tops the Primeira Liga, which they are trying to win a for a fourth consecutive season. With a wonderful European pedigree, Champions in 1961 and 1962, the Portuguese love this competition and will take the game to Borussia.
The visitors’ main threat comes in the shape of striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has hit 17 goals in 19 league matches and four in Champions League, and is heavily linked with a summer move to Real Madrid.
