PSG v Manchester City Betting Tips [22 January 2025]

Despite enjoying top profiles in Europe, PSG and Manchester City are hanging on in the league stage of the UEFA Champions League. Ahead of their clash on Wednesday, hosts PSG are 25th, three places behind Manchester City. We have the prediction for this match.

PSG had a poor run in Europe in the opening six matches of this competition. They won just two and have already tasted defeat against an English side – Arsenal. They did improve on matchday six with a 3-0 away win at Salzburg.

Ahead of this game, they are on four straight wins and are unbeaten in 10 matches since their 1-0 loss at Bayern Munich.

Manchester City, like PSG, also had a weak run in the opening six matches of this competition. They registered two wins, and this has left them in the playoff positions, a placing they’ll be keen to avoid.

That may be a dream too high for the former champions if they fail to win here. City start this game five points below the top eight, making a win here crucial for their automatic progress.

The English giants didn’t end 2024 well as far as the Champions League is concerned. They are winless in three matches in the competition. Coming here though, they are unbeaten in six matches.

This match marks the fifth meeting between these two sides in the last four years. All four previous meetings actually happened in 2021. Manchester City have been the dominant side in this fixture but on their last visit to PSG, they lost.

Both teams are in good shape coming into this game and will hope that inspires recovery after struggles in Europe. The basis for their strong runs is in attack but the two sides have time and again been caught napping in defence. With both in need of three points, we will see an open game here. For that reason, our prediction for PSG v Manchester City is for both teams to score.
