PSG have lost twice since their home win over Real Madrid and they’ll need to improve on that when they visit the Santiago Bernabeu for the return leg in the round of 16 away to Rap Madrid. Hosts Real Madrid on the other hand, have managed three straight wins since their late defeat in Paris and will go into this game very confident. Playing at home is a factor that should work in their favour as well, heading here unbeaten in the last 12 home matches. Real Madrid will have Casemiro and Ferland Mendy suspended for this game but David Alaba’s recovery is a big plus for them. They are coming from a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad, having risen from a goal down in the clash and Karim Benzema has scored in each of the last three matches, signalling his full fitness after being slowed down with injury. Three times in their last five matches they have kept clean sheets. The loss to PSG in the first leg of this clash was their first in five Champions League matches and also the first time in five that they failed to score in the competition. They’ve scored in each of the last five home matches in this competition, on three occasions scoring two or more goals.

French side PSG are coming from a 1-0 loss to Nice in Ligue 1, their second loss in the last three matches and will really hope for an improvement in this game. They haven’t managed a clean sheet in their last three matches since beating Real Madrid 1-0 in Paris. In the last five matches, they’ve managed more than one goal in just one, a 3-1 win over Saint-Etienne. Kylian Mbappe has been their most outstanding player, scoring four in four matches but he was suspended for the Nice game, in which they failed to score. The advantage for PSG is that their top forward will go into this game fresh after sitting out over the weekend but defending their slim lead will be the biggest agenda. Their away form will pose problems on this; they have two straight away losses going into this game and in the Champions League, PSG have no win in the last four away matches. They’ve lost two and drawn two in their last four away matches. In four of their last five away matches in Champions League, PSG have conceded two goals and they have no clean sheet in all five.
