Champions League – Real Madrid vs PSG: Betting Preview

Real Madrid take on PSG at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday for a second leg in the last-16 of the Champions League.

PSG managed a tight 1-0 win and kept a clean sheet in the first leg, thus knowing another clean sheet will see them go through, as they don’t need a win to seal qualification.

The star-studded Parisians are an opponent very few teams fancy facing at this stage. They qualified for the knockout stages by finishing second in Group A, losing just one of their six matches to collect 11 points. But they’ll be wary of Real Madrid, who topped Group D with an impressive 15 points from as many games.
