The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals action continues on Wednesday with two exciting matches. Barcelona will aim to maintain their strong tournament form as they host Borussia Dortmund at 3 p.m. ET. Barcelona boasts an impressive 22-match unbeaten streak across all competitions and previously defeated Dortmund 3-2 in the group stage. Bookmakers currently favor Barcelona to win this match.
In the other fixture, Paris Saint-Germain will look to extend their three-game Champions League winning streak as they welcome Aston Villa at 3 p.m. ET. PSG are also favored to win their home game against Aston Villa. Both Wednesday`s games are highly anticipated by fans.
Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund
Prediction: Barcelona 3, Dortmund 1
Barcelona may be eager to bounce back after a recent draw in their domestic league, which could spell trouble for Borussia Dortmund. In their previous Champions League encounter in the group stage, Barcelona secured a 3-2 victory in Dortmund. Despite playing at home, Dortmund struggled to create clear chances, while Barcelona dominated with shots. Expect Barcelona to come out strong and aim for a decisive lead in the first leg at home.
PSG vs. Aston Villa
Prediction: PSG 2, Aston Villa 1
PSG recently secured the French Ligue 1 title and now face a challenging match against Aston Villa. Aston Villa are on a remarkable winning streak, having won their last seven matches in all competitions, scoring two or more goals in most of these games. However, PSG will be determined to avoid a repeat of their previous home defeat in the Champions League knockout stage. PSG will be keen to learn from past mistakes and perform strongly against Aston Villa, who are making their debut appearance in the Champions League quarterfinals. PSG are expected to secure a home victory, but Aston Villa will still be motivated for the return leg.
