psg v barcelona betting tips and odds – 15 april 2015

psg welcome barcelona to the parc des princes knowing they will almost certainly have to win to give themselves a chance in the second leg in spain. this is arguably the pick of the last eight games and we predict a thrilling and closely fought contest with a champions league semi-final place up for grabs.

by a quirk of fate, this pair were together during the group phase, with barcelona finishing top of group f, two points clear of psg. the catalan outfit won 3-1 at home and lost 3-2 in paris and we predict something similar here, with goals aplenty and an overall aggregate success for barcelona, with the game in the french capital sure to be a close battle.

both teams have a wealth of attacking talent and, as ever, zlatan ibrahimovic will be desperate to perform against his former side. the swede scored in the nou camp but will miss this game through suspension, as will barcelona’s dani alves and psg’s marco verratti. clearly it is the home side who will feel those absences more and we predict there could be some value in backing barcelona at betting odds of around 19/20 with a number of firms.

in recent weeks they have really started looking strong again and any side with lionel messi, neymar and an increasingly influential luis suarez is sure to offer a significant danger. barca now play a more direct brand of football and psg will be hard pressed to cope with the attacking cut and thrust luis enrique’s men possess.

whilst we predict a close game this is one that could go either way. at very nice odds of 27/10 our main betting tip in the match odds is the draw, although on balance we prefer to steer clear of the match betting for our number one tip.

both teams to score may look short at odds of just 4/5 but considering the two group games saw a total of nine goals we think it offers exceptional value in a game we think could be a champions league cracker, with 2-2 our correct score prediction.

porto v bayern munich betting tips and odds – 15 april 2015

porto are probably the weakest side in the last eight and they are clear underdogs against a bayern munich outfit that many experts predict will go on to win the champions league this season.

few will be betting on porto to cause an upset here but they are strong at home and if you fancy them to start well then you may be tempted to back them to win on the night at betting odds of 5/1 with betfred, although realistically the draw is a far more likely outcome at odds of 3/1. the visitors are priced at just 3/4 and we feel that may be just a shade short in a game we predict could be closer than some expect.

bayern are undoubtedly a class act, with pep guardiola continuing to improve on a side that was already arguably the finest in europe. they play a slightly more patient brand of football now and the improved possession means they are superb defensively, with sweeper-keeper manuel neuer central to the 18 clean sheets they have amassed from 27 bundesliga games at the time of writing.

the germans are 10 points clear domestically and we simply to have predict they will progress over the two legs but porto may just have enough to get a result on home soil.

in 1987 these sides met in the final of the european cup, a game porto won, and the fans are sure to draw hope from that historic night. porto have a superb record on home soil and beat basel 4-0 at the estadio do dragao in the last round and are unbeaten there in this competition thus far. domestically they have won five and drawn one of their last six in front of their own fans and if they can grab an early goal they could cause an upset at big odds.

however, we expect the bayern midfield to control the game from the off, slow things down and quieten the crowd. as such our prediction here is for this one to be a slow burner, with 0-0 at half time a distinct possibility before the germans go on to win the contest, be that in the second half or in the return fixture.

porto v bayern munich betting tip: 0-0 at half time at betting odds of 2/1 with bwin
