PSG vs Manchester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Les Parisiens will take on City on Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League

Only two rounds are left in the group phase of the 2024-25 Champions League, and one of the teams that needs to step up to book a place in the knockouts is PSG. The team from Paris only have seven points, which is a point fewer than the bottom three teams from the playoff zone. The French heavyweights are currently 25th in the table in UCL. If they want to get to the knockout stage, they need points. If they win against Guardiola’s men they will take a huge step in that direction. The home team will have to give their all to get a good result against City.

Even though the Premier League season is long, it seems very likely that Manchester City will not be able to defend their title. Their poor form over the last couple of months has created a gap between them and Liverpool that they probably won’t be able to bridge. Their poor run has also caused serious problems in the Champions League. They have only eight points and now have huge pressure to win back-to-back fixtures in the Champions League. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Savio (Manchester City)

He is left-footed and mainly starts as a left winger, feeling also comfortable when playing as an inverted winger on the right flank. He stands out for his flashing pace, versatility and dribbling skills.

His physical attributes also help in the decisive aspect of his game. The Brazilian possesses a low centre of gravity, which allows him to have a sublime capacity to shift directions.
