If last week's first leg is anything to go by, a thrilling Champions League quarter-final second leg between Barcelona and Paris Saint-German awaits us at the Estadi Olimpic on Tuesday. Barca hold the advantage after winning 3-2 in France last Wednesday, with Raphinha bagging a brace either side of strikes from PSG duo Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha before Andreas Christensen scored the winner in the 77th minute.

Ahead of this tie's concluding leg, which can be watched live in the UK on TNT Sports 1 (KO, 20:00), we have provided our best Barcelona vs PSG bet builder tips to line up a 13/5 treble using Betfred's #PickYourPunt feature.

BTTS - Yes

There were five goals scored in the reverse fixture in Paris as the first leg managed to live up to its pre-match billing.

Neither side has exactly been rock-solid at the back in Europe this season - Barcelona conceded six in as many games during the group stage and their backline was breached by Napoli in both legs of their round of 16 tie.

PSG, meanwhile, shipped eight in a group containing Newcastle United, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, losing 4-1 to the Magpies in England and keeping just two clean sheets overall. The Parisians also conceded on their last visit to Spain when they beat Real Sociedad 2-1 in the second leg of their round of 16 tie.

With so many attacking stars on show on Tuesday, it's hard to see either side failing to get on the scoresheet.

Kylian Mbappe to score anytime

With so many goals in the first game, it was a shock not to see Kylian Mbappe's name on the goalscorers list.

The Frenchman was unusually quiet at the Parc des Princes, being limited to three shots and none on target.

However, it would be a real surprise to see him fail to fire again. If PSG are to get back into this tie, you would think Mbappe will be front and centre of the action.

As well as looking to lift the Champions League trophy for PSG in what looks certain to be his final season at the club, the 25-year-old will be desperate to make himself the outright top scorer in the competition for the 2023/24 campaign.

Currently, Mbappe is level with Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid) and Erling Haaland (Manchester City) on six goals, behind only Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). It would take a brave person to back against him at least equalling Kane's tally on Tuesday.

Barcelona over 29.5 booking points

It was a feisty affair between Barca and PSG last week, and we can probably expect more of the same on Tuesday with a place in the Champions League semi-finals at stake.

The French giants were awarded 20 booking points in Paris courtesy of a yellow card apiece for Vitinha and Lucas Beraldo, while the reigning La Liga champions managed to amass 40 booking points through cautions for Christensen, Sergi Roberto, Pau Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez.

Barca may be at home this time around, but it won't be easy for them and we can expect them to fight tooth and nail to reach the next stage of the competition.

Their last game at the Estadi Olimpic, a 1-0 win over Las Palmas in the league, saw them receive five yellow cards, and they were given two bookings in their last match there in the Champions League.

I think they will go one 'better' than that on Tuesday as they look to claw their way to the last four of the competition, and that would bring up the 30 booking points we need to land this selection.

Barcelona are the 6/5 favourites to win the second leg and secure safe passage into the last four. You can back PSG to win the game at 15/8 while the Draw is priced at 3/1.
