Barcelona: Current form and team news
Barca have been undefeated for 13 games already. Xavi's exit announcement seems to have given the team an energy boost. The players and the manager want to finish the season with a trophy and so far, the Champions League looks more probable than La Liga.
Against PSG, Barca weren't dominating in possession but created more chances and won deservedly. However, the one-goal handicap is not enough to consider the job done.
Alejandro Balde and Gavi are set to miss the game. Robert Lewandowski, Inigo Martinez and Joao Cancelo were all suspended against Cadiz and that should be a significant boost for the upcoming clash.
PSG: Current form and team news
A return to Barcelona should be special for Luis Enrique. The defeat at Parc des Princes must have hurt badly and the former Barca boss is sure to make tactical and squad changes if he wants to get to the semi-finals.
PSG had enough time to get ready: they had no domestic league games between the two Champions League clashes. However, sometimes long rest affects teams in the wrong way.
Achraf Hakimi should be back to the line-up, since his suspension has ended. Kimpembe, Mukiele and Kurzawa will miss the game.

Barcelona vs PSG: Head-to-head
The teams have mostly met in the Champions League. It's the sixth time when they face each other in the play-offs.
On three occasions, Barcelona were the team to qualify for the next stage (this includes the epic 6-1 comeback in March 2017). However, in the 2020/21 UCL last 16, PSG were stronger thanks to the 4-1 away win.
Barcelona vs PSG: Prediction and betting tip
On paper, Kylian Mbappe is PSG's ultimate weapon but against Barcelona, the Frenchman was a pale shadow of himself. Considering all the exit rumours that have been circulating lately, this is hardly going to change tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Barca will hardly push forward, since they already are in front.
As risky as it may seem, we suggest betting on at least one team keeping a clean sheet tomorrow.
Our betting tip: Both teams score - no (Megapari odds - 2.65)
