PSG vs Liverpool: 12/1 treble ahead of Champions League clash

Two of Europe's big-hitters collide when PSG play host to Liverpool in the Champions League round of sixteen on Wednesday evening.

Our tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has ran his eyes over the contest and picked out a tidy 12/1 treble to be enjoyed.

Selection #1 - Alexis Mac Allister to be shown a card

The Argentinian has received a joint-highest amount of yellow cards in the Champions League this term.

Mac Allister already has four to his name across nine appearances in the competition to go with the six he's picked up in the Premier League.

He's also given away eight fouls across 494 minutes played and has averaged 2.2 tackles per game so far.

Given he'll be up against a PSG midfield which has averaged 65% possession at home in Europe, Mac Allister remains poised to go in the referee's book once again as he looks to break up play in the French capital.

Selection #2 - Bradley Barcola to have over 0.5+ shots on target

Young winger Barcola has been in superb form for PSG this term, having already mustered 17 goals and 11 assists in all competitions. The 22-year-old has also scored three times in the Champions League so far.

Moreover, the Frenchman has averaged exactly one shot on target so far in the competition. In fact, he has registered at least one effort on target in each of his last five appearances in Europe.

Such numbers will be a concern for Arne Slot's Liverpool side, who may have recorded back-to-back clean sheets domestically but have remained less defensively stable overall since the turn of the year.

Given the dominance PSG tend to enjoy at home - they've won eight of their last 10 at the Parc des Princes in all competitions - backing Barcola to be equally as threatening looks a no-brainer.

Selection #3 - Nuno Mendes to make over 1.5+ tackles

It's fair to say the Portuguese full-back isn't afraid to get stuck in. Mendes has averaged 2.2 tackles so far in the Champions League, giving 10 fouls away as a result.

He has also been booked on three occasions and comes up against an in-form Mohamed Salah on the right-hand side of Liverpool's attacking line.

Mendes will likely be amid the thick of things once again as a result but has proven himself to be more than reliable on the left side of the PSG defence.
