PSG vs Real Madrid: Boosted 14/1 Champions League Bet Builder Tip
The Champions League is back with a bang as long time title hopefuls Paris Saint-Germain host the tournament's most decorated side in Real Madrid.
Both sides top their respective domestic league's heading into Tuesday night's showdown, and have a plethora of talent to call upon in attacking areas. Lionel Messi faces his old enemy for the first time since leaving Barcelona while Kylian Mbappe looks to break the hearts of the fans many expect him to represent come next season.
Real Madrid will be desperate to have Karim Benzema fit and available, while Vinicius Junior will be aiming to prove that he is the star of Brazil ahead of Neymar right now.
Despite all that firepower and flair, however, it's a game that may well be won and lost in the middle ground, with feisty players on either side hoping to exert their dominance. As such, we're playing 'Bookings Bingo' this evening and have picked out three players to go into the referee's notebook tonight.
Marco Verratti is perhaps chief among them having returned to fitness following an injury hit start to the campaign. It's meant that the Italian international has made just 17 appearances across the league and Champions League thus far this season, picking up a quite remarkable 10 bookings in that restricted playing time.
Clubmate Leandro Paredes will hope to join him in Mauricio Pochettino's midfield three, and he's another player that can be hot-headed to say the least. The Argentine has started PSG's last three league matches having found playing time hard to come by in general this season, and will certainly hope to keep his place following important wins over Lille and Rennes. No player has been carded more times over the past two seasons in the Champions League knockout phase than Paredes' four.
He'll be battling it out with a fellow South American adversory in the Real Madrid midfield, with Casemiro tasked with disrupting PSG's rhythm in Paris. The 29-year-old has been in fine form of late but is always partial to the odd booking, or ten!
That's how many he has accumulated over 27 league and Champions League appearances this season, which is twice as many yellow cards as any Real Madrid teammate. With bookings in six of his last nine appearances in all competitions, he's our third and final tip for a caution at the Parc des Princes.
Initially priced at 21/2 with Bet Victor, they've boosted the treble of Verratti, Paredes and Casemiro all to be carded to a massive 14/1. That blows the likes of bet365 (12/1), Paddy Power (9/1) and Ladbrokes (7/1) out of the water and is available to add direct to your betslip here.
So get your Bingo marker at the ready and enjoy what should be a feast of football and feistiness in the French capital tonight!
