Expert Betting Tips

I expect a very tight and offensive encounter considering the current state of the PSG team. And the Lens outfit have proved to the parisens that they can cause problems.

Should the likes of Lionel Messi return in time for the match, PSG should win. Else, you can expect a cagey affair.

For my first prediction, I will opt for a goal exchange.

Both team to score seems like a good bet. It priced at 1.85odds on 1xbet.

Also a solid PSG Win and over 2.5 goals is a solid option. Home win and over 2.5 is 1.71 odds on 22bet.

Finally, A home win and both team to score is another option to consider. It is valued at 2.60 odds on Bet365.
