Parc des Princes will play host to a mouth-watering UEFA Champions League encounter on Tuesday night as reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain host Spanish title holders Barcelona.
Both teams have been ruthless in front of goal in their two league phase matches, with PSG netting six against Slovan Bratislava before dismantling Manchester City in a four-goal blitz, and Barcelona putting five beyond Feyenoord prior to coming from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1.
It should come as no surprise that the two outfits top the goalscoring charts given the abundance of attacking riches at the disposal of Luis Enrique and Hansi Flick.
In one corner, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia didn't even need to start against Man City as Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Maghnes Akliouche inflicted irrepairable damage to Enzo Maresca's backline.
At the opposite end, Barcelona have continued their free-scoring antics without the in-form Raphinha, who's scored 14 goals in nine appearances in all competitions this term. The Brazilian was absent from the trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray with a thigh issue, but he is set to return to a frontline which features the dazzling Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon.
There is little to separate the two teams in the Full Time Result market and the draw is priced at 10/3.
Paris have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Enrique's Parisians emerging 2-1 victors at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in October last year, and they triumphed 6-4 on aggregate when the two sides met in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Goals are expected to be plentiful in the French capital with both teams to score available at 2/9 and over 2.5 goals at 1/5.
The anytime goalscorer market makes for interesting reading, and there's a bucket load of players to pick from. Seven individuals are priced at 6/5 or shorter to find the back of the net at the Parc des Princes including Raphinha, Dembele, Doue, Yamal, Kvaratskhelia and the man who traded Catalonia for Paris in the summer, Ferran Torres.
In what should be an enthralling encounter between two of the most entertaining teams on the continent, both sides will feel it's an opportunity to land an early statement in their quest to achieve UEFA Champions League glory - and it would not be a surprise to see them line up against each other in the latter stages of the competition.
