PSG vs Manchester City: Prediction and Betting Tips with Odds 4.40

Current form

PSG is in a difficult position in the current Champions League draw in the updated format. In six rounds, the Parisians have scored only seven points and are not even in the top 24, sitting in 25th place in the table. One can complain about the difficult schedule, but still, the club initially set the highest goals for itself. Luis Enrique team won two victories in the tournament over far from the most formidable opponents - Girona (1:0) and Salzburg (0:3). In confrontations with Arsenal, Atletico and Bayern, they failed to score a single point, and scored only one goal. Apparently, in its current composition, PSG is not ready to compete on equal terms with the best teams in Europe.

Nevertheless, there are still chances to continue the fight in the main European club tournament. They just need to score points in the two remaining matches with Manchester City and Stuttgart. There will certainly be no problems with motivation in these matches, and the squad is also fine now. Note that Donnaruma has returned to action and has firmly taken the place of number one in the goal, and Matvey Safonov is unlikely to play today.

In national tournaments, PSG is usually unrivaled. Thus, in Ligue 1, the Parisians are leading the table after 18 rounds and have already created a solid gap of nine points over their closest pursuer. In the last round, they managed to beat Lens away with a score of 2:1, although they conceded first. It should be noted that Luis Enrique team won the country Super Cup, beating Monaco with a minimal score of 1:0. In the French Cup, they beat modest Espali in the 1/16 finals (4:2).

Disqualifications and injuries

Marquinhos' appearance on the field today is in question.

Interesting trends for betting

• PSG last three matches have seen an exchange of goals
• The Parisians have not won in six of their previous eight matches in the Champions League (one draw and five defeats)
• PSG have had more shots on target than their opponents in 27 of their last 29 matches

Estimated line-up: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Lucas Hernandez - Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves - Dembele, Ramos, Barcola.

Current form

Manchester City standing in the Champions League is slightly better than that of their upcoming opponent, but fans are unlikely to be happy that after six rounds their team is in 22nd place with eight points. The Citizens went through the first three rounds without defeat (two wins and a draw), and then they began to decline in all tournaments, including the Champions League. As a result, in the last three rounds Josep Guardiola charges lost outright to Sporting (1:4) and Juventus (0:2), tied with Feyenoord (3:3), when they managed to lose a three-goal lead.

At the moment, Manchester City has overcome a protracted decline. At least in domestic tournaments. The Citizens have not lost for six matches in a row – four wins and two draws. They managed to beat modest Salford in the Cup (8:0). In the Premier League, the schedule was not too difficult, so the 11 points scored in the previous five rounds did not cause much surprise. With 38 points in the asset, Guardiola team occupies fifth place in the table.

Manchester City are in great spirits heading into their trip to Paris after a crushing 6-0 win over Ipswich in the Premier League, giving their manager a great birthday present.

Bobb and Rodri are out with injuries, with Stones a doubt.

• Goals have been exchanged in eight of Manchester City previous 12 Champions League matches

Probable line-up: Ederson - Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Guardiol - Kovacic, Gundogan - Foden, De Bruyne, Doku - Haaland.
