Mauricio Pochettino’s men warmed up for this exciting contest with a 3-1 at Metz on this Saturday in the French Ligue 1 as they hunt for their 8th French title in the last 9 seasons. The only concerning thing for this fixture for PSG is that they only won 3 of their last 8 matches at the Parc des Princes Stadium.

Manchester City

The citizens are having an awesome run of form this season thrashing anyone who comes in their way. This fixture against PSG will be a real test for them as they will be looking for the first European trophy in their history.

Like PSG, Manchester city also reached the semi-final after defeating the German team Borussia Dortmund, beating them 4-2 on aggregate.

City’s hope for a quadruple was shattered by Chelsea when they were beaten in the FA cup semi-finals. But they have still hopes for a treble as they won an exciting final against Tottenham Hotspurs in the carbado cup final. City won this competition for the fourth consecutive time under pep Guardiola. They will be looking to push for their hopes for a treble on their trip to Paris and try to get the best result out of this fixture.

Head to head statistics

Their last meeting was 5 years ago in Paris and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. City qualified for the next round on aggregate. Manchester City is unbeaten against PSG in their 3 meetings as City clinched 1 win, draw 2 and lost nil against the Parisians.

Prediction

With a high-intensity match like this, it is hard to predict which team will win, as because of the absence of fans there is not a big home advantage this season. Having so much attacking power in both camps we will surely see some goals scored. So we suggest betting on both teams to score and the scoreline above 2.5.
