Barcelona Team Analysis
Barcelona last lifted the Champions League over a decade ago under the leadership of Enrique. Now, with Hansi Flick in charge, the La Liga champions have started their latest quest strongly. Missing Lamine Yamal at St James’ Park, Marcus Rashford stepped up brilliantly, scoring twice against Newcastle to seal victory. That win formed part of a five-game winning streak, including a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
With Real Madrid slipping to Atletico, Barcelona regained top spot in La Liga by a single point. Their momentum highlights a squad blending resilience and sharp attacking quality. Attention now turns to midweek as Barcelona prepares for an exciting showdown at the Olympic Stadium. The Blaugrana will aim for another victory as they welcome defending champions PSG in a high-profile Champions League encounter.
Barcelona Line-Up Prediction
Yamal returned against Real Sociedad after recovering from his recent groin injury and should start against PSG. Barcelona remain without Ter Stegen, Gavi, Garcia, Lopez, and Raphinha. However, Balde’s recovery from a hamstring issue boosts Flick’s defensive options.
Possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Martin; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski.

PSG Team Analysis
PSG entered this season’s Champions League as reigning champions and wasted no time asserting dominance this campaign. Months after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in last season’s final, Enrique’s men began their defence with a 4-0 demolition of Atalanta in Paris. Victory over Barcelona would see PSG achieve an unmatched feat of three straight four-goal Champions League wins.
Yet consistency has wavered, as shown by a derby loss to Marseille, followed by a 2-0 win over Auxerre. PSG and Barcelona share history, most notably the 2017 Remontada, but recent meetings favour the French side, who won 4-1 at Camp Nou in both 2021 and 2024. Another win at the Olympic Stadium would bring continental history. It would mark the first time Barcelona has lost three consecutive home games in Europe.
PSG Line Up Prediction
Ballon d’Or winner Dembele remains sidelined until late October with a hamstring injury. He joins Ruiz, Neves, Doue, and Marquinhos on PSG’s injury list, while Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia picked up fresh concerns against Auxerre.
Possible starting lineup: Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Lee, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola.

Barcelona vs PSG Betting Tips & Predictions
Using the latest stats and team trends, we’ve zeroed in on the most promising betting option over the Barcelona vs. PSG matchup:
- PSG To Win/Draw @ 1.90 (8/9) — Several Barcelona vs PSG predictions favoured Barcelona to win this game based on home advantage. However, the Blaugrana have not defeated the Parisians on their turf in the past two meetings. PSG had claimed 4-1 victories on both occasions. This does not rule out the qualities of Barcelona, as both sides are in great form in their respective leagues. That’s why we are leaning towards PSG getting at least a draw from the match.
- Total Goals — Over 3.5 @ 2.00 (1/1) – Both are top-scoring clubs domestically and in Europe. They also have the attacking talents that could increase the fixture’s score count. Evidently, Barcelona have averaged over 3.5 goals in four of their previous five UCL matches. PSG have a similar record in their last two matches in the competition. More than three goals have also been scored in five of their last six head-to-head meetings. So, we expect their midweek action to follow the same pattern.
- Lamine Yamal To Score @ 2.50 (3/2) – The teenage star lit up Europe last season, scoring five Champions League goals. Many labelled him the world’s best, as his dazzling wing play often proved. Expectations are immense as Yamal gears up for his first Champions League match of this campaign. Already boasting two goals and three assists in the 2025–26 season, he continues to show remarkable maturity and consistency. On current form, Lamine Yamal looks highly likely to add his name to the scoresheet once again.
