Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Real Madrid Win or Draw and Under 4.5 Goals – 1.73
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: PSG 0 Goal Handicap – 1.94
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime Correct Score 0-1 – 1.96
Real Madrid Win or Draw and Under 4.5 Goals
Real Madrid’s home form is quite impressive as they have not lost in12 outings. On the other hand, PSG won two of their last five on-the-road games. Also, in all previous h2h meetings, under 4.5 goals were scored. And the same number of goals were present in Real’s last three home games and PSG’s last four games.
PSG 0 Goal Handicap
In their previous four visits to the Bernabeu, PSG covered the 0 goals handicap twice. More recently, the Parisians were able to draw or win four of their last five away games. Real also failed to win two of their last five home games which increases PSG’s chances to settle for a draw.
Anytime Correct Score 0-1
This prediction is based on a tactical reading of the game rather than statistics. There is no doubt that Real will be the ones to take the initiative and attack. This may leave some spaces for the likes of Mbappe and Messi to exploit through their speed on the counters. Hence we might see PSG take the lead early on in this game.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Real Madrid vs Paris Saint Germain
Real Madrid’s defense resisted for 90 minutes before Kylian Mbappe scored a crucial goal in the dying minutes of the first leg in Paris. For some analyzers, Los Merengues were too defensive in that game as we can see from the statistics.
To illustrate, Real had just three goal attempts of which none were on target. PSG meanwhile had 22 attempts with eight on target. Surely Ancelotti has to be more offensive but without leaving spaces for PSG’s attackers to take advantage of it.
It will definitely be the biggest test for Real in this campaign as the 13-time champions won five of their six games in the group stage. On a positive note, Real’s goalscoring record in the first phase was impressive hitting the target 14 times and conceding four in six matches.
According to the bookies, PSG are the favorites to qualify from this tie. However, in four previous trips to Madrid, the Parisians won once drew once, and lost twice. Meaning, a win or a draw is not very hard to reach especially with a striking trio of Mbappe-Neymar-Messi.
Messi and Mbappe scored ten of PSG’s 14 goals in the first phase. However, Pocchetino’s defense is not in its best days conceding over one goal per game while playing on the road. In the French league, PSG won one of their five away games.
Real Madrid vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction
This will be a very tactical game by the two coaches. Real must win by two goals and thus must attack but without leaving spaces at the back. Pocchetino meanwhile must keep his defense tight and try to hit on the break.
We predict a very close game but given PSG’s record on the road and Real’s unbeaten run at home, we find a slight advantage for the Merengues. Still, we prefer to back a double chance of a home win or draw.
Safe Bet
In Real’s five out of seven matches in the Champions League this season, there were under 1.5 goals scored in the first half. Similarly, the same number of goals saw PSG’s two of their last three games in the CL this season. Hence we predict to see under 1.5 goals in the first half which has odds of 1.50.
Quick Rich
A draw is a big possibility in this match especially if PSG can play the same way they did in the first leg defensively. In addition, both coaches Ancelotti and Pocchetino will be cautious going forward taking into account each teams’ pacy attackers. As a result, with odds of 3.72, we think a draw should not be off the table.
Real Madrid vs Paris Saint Germain First Goalscorer
Kylian Mbappe has been in incredible form this season scoring 19 goals in the Ligue 1 and Champions League. With his pace close dribble and immaculate finishing, he will definitely cause the most dangerous man for the Real defense. We predict Mbappe to be the scorer of the first goal on Wednesday.
