Man City vs PSG UEFA Champions League Tips & Prediction


Man City are tipped for a ninth consecutive victory when they welcome two-time defending Champions League winners PSG to the Etihad on Wednesday night in a mouth-watering Matchday 2 encounter.

City presented a united front in the face of adversity to crush Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield at the weekend, showing that the off-field controversy hasn't affected their on-field performances - which have been brilliant to start the season.

Enzo Maresca's side have put together an eight-game winning streak, including a 2-0 Matchday 1 win over FC Porto on the road.

Meanwhile, PSG endured a slow start to the season, but have picked things up to arrive at this clash on a four-game winning run.

It sets up what should be a cracking contest and I'm backing goals at both ends. City's attack is firing on all cylinders, with Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki all on target at the weekend, while PSG have scored 12 times during their four-game winning streak.

But both sides can be vulnerable defensively and I'd be surprised if either keep a clean sheet with so much attacking firepower on display.

I think City are decent value for the win at home here, with Haaland and Doku tipped in player props.
  • City have won their last eight games
  • City are unbeaten in 24 of their last 25 CL league/group games at home, winning 21
  • City have scored 13 goals in their last three games
  • PSG have scored 12 goals in their last four games
  • The last two CL meetings have seen BTTS land with 3+ goals
  • Erling Haaland has scored 36 goals in 40 CL games, along with eight in his last eight appearances for club & country
  • Jeremy Doku is back from injury & was brilliant off the bench vs Liverpool, scoring a cracking goal - he's set for more impact on the wing here

Man City vs PSG Head To Head

City are unbeaten in six of the eight previous meetings, winning the last three at the Etihad.

Man City Form Analysis

It's been a thunderous start to the season for City as they come into this encounter riding an eight-game winning streak in all competitions.

While they wait for the final verdict/punishment for a serious breach of 100+ financial rules by the Premier League, City appear to be thriving in the face of adversity.

Maresca's side were going blow-for-blow with Liverpool in Sunday's blockbuster showdown at Anfield and took full advantage of the Reds going down to 10 men, with Haaland, Doku and Cherki all getting on the scoresheet in a rampant second half.

Haaland also bagged a brace in City's 2-0 victory over Porto on Matchday 1.

Man City Team News

Phil Foden is available for selection again after serving his three-game domestic ban, while Doku is in line for a start after his brilliant cameo off the bench against Liverpool.

Haaland and Cherki have combined for 13 goals this season and are both set to start again here.

Man City Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Marc Guehi, Nico O'Reilly; Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez; Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo; Erling Haaland

PSG Form Analysis

It was a slow start to the season for PSG as they went winless across their opening three Ligue 1 games, which followed a loss to Lens in the French Super Cup final.

However, PSG returned to form on Matchday 1 in the Champions League, firing six goals past a hapless Slovan Bratislava outfit.

Luis Enrique's side have won their last three games, including a most-recent 3-1 victory over Le Mans at the weekend with a heavily rotated side.

PSG will be looking to become just the second team in CL history to go unbeaten in 10 straight games vs English teams on Wednesday night.

PSG Team News

Ousmane Dembele has scored in five straight CL games and will return to the starting side after being rested at the weekend.

Marquinhos, William Pacho, Vitinha, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Spanish World Cup hero Ferran Torres should all come back into the team, with the latter scoring a hat-trick on Matchday 1.

PSG Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Matvey Safonov; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Goals are expected to flow, with Haaland getting on the scoresheet & City claiming a ninth straight win.
