Over 4.5 total goals

To go along with our predicted scoreline of 3-3, the first leg of our Champions League Bet Builder anticipates a genuine goal-fest at the Parc des Princes, with at least five goals being scored. This match sees arguably the world's two most exciting attacks go head-to-head, as the Champions League's early top two (who have scored 19 goals between them already) face their toughest tests yet - and considering you have to go back a month for the last time either side scored fewer than three goals in a game, this one has the potential to be a real blockbuster.

Ousmane Dembele 2+ shots on target

The current Ballon d'Or holder, Ousmane Dembele is once again leading the line with real class for PSG, with the Frenchman bagging three times in his side's opening two Champions League games - and we're tipping him to have at least two shots on target again here. The 29-year-old grabbed a goal and an assist at the Etihad last week, and is already averaging over 2.5 efforts on target per 90 in the UCL, so it seems almost inevitable that he will cause a mountain of problems for his former club on Tuesday night - with Joan Garcia having to be on high alert in the Barca net.

Lamine Yamal 2+ shots on target

Another man firmly in the Ballon d'Or conversation, Lamine Yamal is starting to take his game to levels that few have ever reached, with a frankly ridiculous goal again in LaLiga at the weekend - and we're backing him to have a couple of shots on target in Paris. The teenager has scored or assisted in 12 of his last 13 games for club and country, and is averaging 4.5 shots per game in the Champions League, so with the eyes of the world watching, we're expecting the World Cup winner to really take the game to the back-to-back UCL champions.

Barcelona to win or draw

With such ludicrous amounts of talent on display for both teams, picking a winner is far from easy, so we're leaning on the double chance market instead - but with Barcelona having won every single game they've played this season, it's the visitors who we're tipping to win or draw. The LaLiga champions are still perfect after 11 games in all competitions, with 48 goals scored in that time, and although PSG are also coming into this one on an impressive six-game win streak - and have beaten Barca in their last two meetings - they aren't even top of Ligue 1 right now, so they seem slightly more vulnerable.
