The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals continue with exciting matches. Barcelona, currently on a 22-game unbeaten streak, will host Borussia Dortmund. In their previous Champions League group stage match, Barcelona defeated Dortmund 3-2. Bookmakers currently favor Barcelona to win this home game.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), aiming for their fourth consecutive UCL victory, will play against Aston Villa at home. PSG are also favored to win their match against Aston Villa, who are considered the underdogs in this encounter.
Sports expert Brandt Sutton, known for his successful Champions League predictions, has shared his top picks for these Wednesday matches.
Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund
Prediction: Barcelona 3, Dortmund 1
Barcelona, after a recent draw in their domestic league, will be eager to perform strongly against Borussia Dortmund. In their previous meeting, Barcelona secured a 3-2 victory in Dortmund. Barcelona dominated that game with more shots on target. It is expected that Barcelona will aim for a decisive home victory to take an advantage into the second leg in Germany.
PSG vs. Aston Villa
Prediction: PSG 2, Aston Villa 1
PSG recently secured the Ligue 1 title. However, they face a challenging game against Aston Villa. Aston Villa enters this match with a seven-game winning streak, demonstrating strong form. PSG previously experienced a home defeat against Liverpool in the Round of 16, despite having more shots. PSG will aim to learn from that game and play purposefully against Aston Villa, who are making their debut in the Champions League quarterfinals. PSG is expected to win at home, but Aston Villa will still be motivated for the return leg.
