PSG vs Barcelona Betting Odds

7bet offers competitive odds for all UEFA Champions League matches, including this fixture.

Please note that the odds are accurate as of the publishing time of the article. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing a bet.

1X2 Odds

The 1X2 betting market is one of the simplest and most popular wagers in football betting markets. Here, bettors have to pick one out of three possible outcomes:

• 1: PSG wins
• X: Draw
• 2: Barcelona wins

UK sportsbooks use fractional odds. The denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the profit. If you examine the PSG vs Barcelona betting odds for the 1X2 market, the odds are 15/11 for PSG, 7/2 for a draw, and 13/10 for Barcelona. This means that bettors can win £15 for every £11 for correctly predicting PSG’s win. Your betting amount, also known as the stake, is returned if your bet is successful. So, the total payout becomes £15+£11, i.e., £26.

Similarly, a successful bet on Barcelona yields £13 for every £10 wagered, and correctly predicting a draw also pays £7 for every £2.

Bets that pay low returns are said to have “short” odds. These odds are usually assigned to stronger teams as they are expected to win. Bets on underdogs usually have “long” odds, which pay a high return.

In this fixture, both teams have nearly identical odds, which means bookmakers rate their chances as almost equal. So, if you are not sure which team to back, try relatively safer markets like Double Chance or Handicap.

Double Chance

This is a variation of the 1X2 market, where bettors can pick two outcomes out of three:

• PSG or Draw
• PSG or Barcelona
• Draw or Barcelona

Your chances of winning in this market are high since you are allowed to cover two out of three outcomes. However, because of this, your payout becomes lower compared to 1X2. Consider this market if you believe it will be a tight contest, and predicting the result will be difficult. But if one team appears to have a clear edge over the other, the 1X2 market offers better value.

Check both teams’ win-loss-draw record in the last 10 matches. PSG had six wins, two losses and two draws in this period, while Barca won all their 10 matches. Use this data to inform your bet.

Handicap Betting Odds

Since both appear equally strong in this fixture, you can use the Handicap market to give your chosen team an advantage. The handicap is added to one team’s final score, and the bet is settled on the adjusted result. Quarter-goal lines such as 0.75 or 1.75 split your stake into two equal bets on the neighbouring half-goal and whole-goal lines, so a bet can end as a half win or a half loss. You can choose from the available lines on 7bet’s page.

For example, you back PSG +0.75 and the match ends 0–1. Half of your stake is on PSG +0.5 (0.5–1, a loss) and half on PSG +1 (1–1, a push, so that half is refunded). Overall, you lose half of your stake.

Here are some examples of how positive and negative handicaps work for this fixture:

• PSG (+0) / FC Barcelona (-0): A zero handicap is similar to the Draw No Bet market. This protects your stake in case of a draw. With this handicap, a draw is declared a “push”, and your original stake is refunded.
• PSG (+1.75) / FC Barcelona (-1.75): FC Barcelona -1.75 bets win in full only if Barcelona win by three or more goals. If Barcelona win by two goals, PSG +1.75 bets lose half the stake and get the other half back. The Parisians only need to avoid a defeat of two or more goals for PSG +1.75 bets to win in full.
• PSG (+0.75) / FC Barcelona (-0.75): Bets on PSG win in full if they win or draw. If Barcelona win by one goal, PSG +0.75 bets lose half the stake and get the other half back. FC Barcelona -0.75 bets win in full only if Barcelona win by two or more goals.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

Here, bettors only need to consider one aspect of the game – whether both teams will net the ball at least once during the match. 

“Yes” bets win if both teams score, such as 1–1 or 2–1. BTTS “No” bets win if there is a zero in the final score like 1–0, 2–0, 0–0, etc. If either one or both teams fail to score, the “No” bets win.

More clean sheets indicate a higher chance for BTTS No. In their last 10 matches, Barcelona kept four clean sheets (opposition score zero) while the Parisians kept one. Use this data when looking at the PSG vs Barcelona odds in the BTTS market. 

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

This market is better known as Over/Under or O/U. Here, punters predict the combined goal total. For example, the match ends 3–1. The final goal total is four.

For this fixture, the goal total betting line can be adjusted from 1.5 to 7.5. The default line is fixed at 4.5 goals combined. If you believe the goal total in this match will be lower than 4.5, select the “Under” bet. Here, final scores like 2–2, 3–1, 2–1, 3–0 win. Your bet wins even if the match ends in a draw of 1–1, 0–0.

Select “Over” 4.5 if you believe we will see a high-scoring match on Tuesday. Any total score of five or over wins in this market.

In their last 10 matches, PSG averaged 2.3 goals per match. Barcelona averaged 4.3 goals in the same time. This brings their combined average total to 6.6, which is well above the 4.5 betting line. Use this data when looking at the PSG vs Barcelona odds in this football betting market.

Correct Score Odds

Predict what the exact score will be at the final whistle. Note that this is a risky bet as it involves a fair bit of luck. This market gives high returns due to the risk. However, we advise betting only small amounts here to protect your capital. New bettors should avoid this market as predicting the exact score can be difficult.
