Why is PSG a safe bet to win?
As soon as PSG signed Lionel Messi, oddsmakers made Paris the team to beat in the Champions League. Heading into the Round of 16, Paris is second choice behind Pep Guardiola’s squad, Manchester City. But Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and the rest of the players on PSG believe a UCL title is within reach. Paris is loaded on all three levels: backfield, midfield, and at the forward position. The team has so many stars that Georginio Wijnaldum doesn’t always get off the bench. Also, the best goalie in the world, Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Costa Rican legend Keylor Navas, are both on Paris’ squad.
Possible Line-Up
- Donnarumma
- Hakimi
- Marquinhos
- Kimpembe
- Mendes
- Paredes
- Wijnaldum
- Verratti
- Neymar
- Mbappe
- Messi

Why is Real Madrid a safe bet to win?
Real Madrid sacked Zinedine Zidane and rehired Carlo Ancelotti specifically to win La Liga and the Champions League. Heading into the final stretch of the season, Real has a 4-point lead over Sevilla in La Liga.
Ancelotti also has Real in the Round of 16 in the Champions League. Few managers are as talented as planning for future matches. Over the weekend, Ancelotti kept Isco on the bench to ensure his star midfielder remained fresh for this match. Ancelotti also pulled number 10 Luka Modric early in the match. Modric, like Isco, should be ready to roll.
Possible Line-Up
- Courtois
- Carvajal
- Militao
- Alaba
- Mendy
- Casemiro
- Kroos
- Modric
- Asensio/li>
- Vinicius
- Benzema

PSG vs. Real Madrid Betting Prediction
On paper, Paris Saint-Germain should be undefeated. But soccer matches don’t happen on paper, which is why although PSG has played well, they can throw in a bomb once in a while. Nice upset PSG via penalty kicks in a French Coupe de France match. The loss shows that even though Mbappe, Messi, and the rest have played together, the super team isn’t always super.
On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain hosts one of the most well-managed soccer clubs in the world. Carlo Ancelotti made a point to sit Isco and pull Modric early so they’re ready for this match. The gambit could pay off in a big way. Not only that, but Messi has had some awful matches versus Real. So if he doesn’t come up with his best, pressure will fall on Mbappe to get it done.
If the odds were closer, PSG would be a decent play. But at +257, Real is an overlay. Backing the La Liga squad to pull off the upset victory makes sense.
