*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Real Sociedad vs PSG odds suggest that this leg won't be as one-sided as the first leg with PSG only the narrow favourites on the night. Their recent record domestically has been good but their away record in Europe this season leaves a lot to be desired which should give Real Sociedad some confidence.
Real Sociedad would have liked to have come into the match in better form and they lost for the second consecutive week in La Liga at the weekend. It has left them in 7th place and well out of the race for the top four which means this will likely be their final Champions League match for a while unless they can win by three goals.
For more Real Sociedad vs PSG betting tips, consider these markets – Both teams to score is priced at 8/11 (1.73) while Real Sociedad/draw double chance is priced at 2/5 (1.40).

The first leg of this Champions League round of 16 tie was the first time that PSG and Real Sociedad had ever faced each other. It means that PSG come into this one knowing that their opponents have never even scored a goal against them, never mind recorded a victory over them.
Real Sociedad preview: The club's biggest European match in decades
Real Sociedad have lost their last three matches in all competitions with their most recent one coming at the weekend against Sevilla. Their form isn't good and player availability isn't much better with five first team players missing for this one.
Predicted lineup: Remiro (GK), Traore, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Galan, Zubimendi, Mendez, Merino, Kubo, Silva & Sadiq

PSG preview: A chance to keep their CL dreams alive
Since the first leg, it has emerged that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club in the summer on a free transfer. Luis Enrique has used the Frenchman in a reduced role ever since but he will surely start this one given the importance of the Champions League to the Parisians.

Player to watch: Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe has had a rough few weeks after it was revealed that he will be leaving the club in the summer. He has had to accept a reduced role under Luis Enrique but should play the full 90 minutes on Tuesday.
Can he complete the fairytale ending?
Winning the Champions League in his final season at PSG would make sure Mbappe leaves with the blessing of the fans. In leg on, he was electric and got himself on the scoresheet in the second half. Mbappe also had the most shots on target in the match (4) and a similar performance from him in Spain will see PSG qualify.
