After experiencing repeated disappointments in the Champions League knockout stages, PSG`s fortunes may be turning around this season. Having already secured the Ligue 1 title, their primary focus is now on Champions League success. In the Round of 16, PSG overcame Liverpool, scoring a crucial equalizing goal in the second leg and ultimately winning in a penalty shootout. Ousmane Dembele is having a standout season for PSG, potentially his best ever. He is listed at +140 on DraftKings to score anytime and is the team`s top scorer in the Champions League with seven goals. Doue and Kvaratskhelia, both of whom scored in the first leg, are each at +220 to score again on Tuesday. Bradley Barcola, the team`s second-highest scorer, has odds of +180 to score and is likely to start from the bench in Tuesday`s match. PSG enters this game well-rested after a full week off and will welcome back Marquinhos, who missed the first leg due to suspension.
Aston Villa`s manager, Unai Emery, aims to add another setback to his former club`s Champions League history. Despite trailing 3-1 on aggregate, Villa returns to their home ground, where they have only suffered one defeat in domestic matches this season. Following their loss in Paris, they rebounded with a 3-0 victory over Southampton, boosted by Ollie Watkins` impactful performance as a substitute. Watkins is expected to start on Tuesday and is at +170 to score in the game. Marcus Rashford, who joined the club on loan, is priced at +210 to score. Villa will be without Donyell Malen, who is ineligible for the Champions League squad due to transfer regulations. Leon Bailey is also uncertain for Emery`s team due to an injury.
