PSG vs Juventus UCL History

Once again, France’s mega-wealthy giant is embarking on a Champions League quest, looking for a trophy worthy of its payroll. Its odds to win Group H over Juventus, Benfica, and Maccabi Haifa are a short -715. Only Man City (-1250) has better odds to win its group. 

A beaten finalist by Bayern Munich in 2020 – its best performance – PSG went out in the Round of 16 last season.

After a 1-0 home first-leg win against Real Madrid, it was again leading 1-0 in the second leg. But a quick-fire hat-trick from Karim Benzema sent PSG crashing out.

Juventus has twice been European champion, although its last win was back in 1996. Juve is priced at +2800 in the UCL title odds ahead of the Group Stage. PSG is the second-favorite to win the Champions League at +400. 

Juventus was a beaten finalist in 2015 and 2017. Last season, it was surprisingly eliminated by Villareal of Spain in the Round of 16. After a 1-1 first leg draw, Juventus was beaten 3-0 at home in Turin.

Domestically, PSG has led Ligue 1 since the start of the season. It has won five times and drawn once – winning 3-0 away at Nantes last weekend.

Meanwhile, Juventus recorded its third draw of its Serie A campaign in a 1-1 result at Fiorentina last weekend. It has won twice.

Over/Under & Spread

Paris has been free-scoring 24 goals in its six Ligue 1 matches.

By contrast, Juventus has scored only six times in five Serie A fixtures.

PSG vs Juventus Statistics

*PSG Statistics from Ligue 1 2022-23. Juventus Statistics from Serie A 2022-23.

This will be a much tougher test for PSG, however. So the total goals market is tight.

The best value is to predict that there will be five goals or more in the game at +295.

Meanwhile, the best spread offering is for PSG to win by three goals or more at +215.

Kylian Mbappe to Score Odds

All three of PSG’s superstars – Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar – are odds-on favorites to get on the score sheet.

So it’s best to look at the offers for first goalscorer.

Mbappe – with seven goals already this season – is priced at +260.

Messi has four goals so far this season and is rated at +300 in this market.

Meanwhile, PSG has reached the knockout stage in its last 10 attempts. But it has failed to win its opening group game in three of the most recent four seasons.

Furthermore, Juventus is unbeaten in its last 10 UCL road trip games.

PSG vs Juventus Pick

Paris St. Germain has been in free-scoring domestic form in Ligue 1. But Juventus has conceded just twice in five Serie A games.

That suggests it could be tough to break down in Paris on Tuesday – with the draw the likely outcome despite PSG’s huge status as favorites.

Pick: Draw (+475)
