Paris Saint Germain vs Barcelona Prediction (20.10.2026)

After a disappointing start to the season, PSG has picked up speed and is once again showing what it is capable of. It currently has six consecutive victories, the most impressive of which was a 4:2 away win against Man. City last week. PSG has only one clean sheet since the start of the season, and with over 2.5 goals and goals in both nets, there were eight of its last nine matches in all competitions. Ousmane Dembélé has scored in both of his matches against his former club Barcelona since joining PSG, and he has also scored in six consecutive matches in the Champions League.

Barcelona, on the other hand, has been in incredible form since the very beginning of the season, winning all 11 of its matches across all competitions by at least two goals. Only one match had under 2.5 goals – in the home victory of 2:0 against Athletic Bilbao. It scored at least three times in all its other matches. So far in the Champions League, it defeated Galatasaray 4:1 and Feyenoord 5:1. Scoring goals compensates for the fact that Barcelona has not kept a clean sheet in its last 17 matches in the Champions League. Lamine Yamal can now become only the second player in the history of the tournament to make two or more assists in three consecutive matches, and his 12 goals in the competition, scored while still a teenager, place him second in this regard – behind Kylian Mbappé.

I also join the expectations for a goal spectacle in this clash, but the odds for this are understandably quite low. Therefore, I will focus on something else. Eventually, Barcelona's winning streak will stop, and it wouldn't be a surprise if that happens in Paris. Ousmane Dembélé is also in form and could score again against his former team.
