Aston Villa Over 1.5 Team Total Goals (+135)

Trailing 3-1 on aggregate, Villa needs to score at least two goals to have a chance at reaching the Champions League semi-finals. They are playing at home, where they have been effective at scoring multiple times recently. Aston Villa has scored over 1.5 goals in their last five home matches across all competitions, including scoring at least three goals in each of their last two Champions League home games.

Expert Jon Eimer from SportsLine notes that `The attack of Ollie Watkins, Donyell Male and John McGinn were rested during their mid-week fixture against Southampton, and should be fresh for this UCL clash. Expect Aston Villa to play extremely offensively with a high press as their only option.` Betting on Aston Villa to score over 1.5 team total goals is at +135 odds.

Ollie Watkins To Score Anytime (+200)

With Aston Villa needing goals, they will heavily rely on Ollie Watkins, who has scored 14 goals, nearly twice as many as any other Villa player. He recently scored in a Premier League match on Saturday despite playing only 25 minutes, ensuring he will be fresh for Tuesday`s game. PSG tends to push forward, which can make them vulnerable defensively. They conceded two goals in their last away match against a lower-division French club.

PSG Over 1.5 Team Total Goals (-110)

PSG secured the Ligue 1 title in early April, allowing them to fully focus on the Champions League. They have had a full week off from competition, ensuring they will be well-rested for this second leg. Despite a 3-1 aggregate lead, PSG is expected to press Aston Villa early to solidify their lead and comfortably advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

Eimer stated, `This is a team that can field Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Vitinha for half the match, only to bring in Bradley Barcola, Gonzalo Ramos and Warren Zaire-Emery in the second half. This team is packed with goal scorers, and I expect goals once again in the second leg.`

Ousmane Dembele To Score Anytime (+150)

Ousmane Dembele leads the 2025 Champions League in total shots (55) and has converted these into seven goals. He has been in excellent form since the start of 2025, scoring 25 goals in 23 matches this year. Dembele has as many games with multiple goals (seven) as he has scoreless games during this period, making him a top scorer in Ligue 1. The best odds for Dembele to score anytime are at +150.
