PSG vs Man City Prediction

Paris Saint-Germain have endured a miserable UEFA Champions League campaign despite remaining unbeaten in Ligue 1 and looking set to win yet another French title. PSG begin the seventh match day of the campaign sitting outside of the top 24 with just two victories in their opening six matches. They are a point behind upcoming opponents Manchester City, who have scored 20 goals in four victories in their last five matches, albeit their 2-2 draw with Brentford last week is a sign that their autumn slump is not yet entirely out of their system. This game will be about which former Barcelona coach can get their side to control the game best and that will likely mean a low-scoring affair with so much on the line.

PSG vs Man City Tip: Under 2.5 goals
