  1. Important Facts
  • Manchester City have won 8 of their last 9 matches (Champions League)
  • Manchester City have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches (Champions League)
  • Manchester City has won their last 3 matches against PSG in all competitions.
  1. Final Takeaways
  • Perhaps the Match of the Group Stage, this match is coming in an interesting period for both the teams
  • PSG are still finding their best formation and have been unable to deliver on the huge promise of having Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe playing together. They have not yet clicked
  • On the other hand, City are coming from a dominating victory that was especially important because it was the first time in the last 3-4 years that City went into a game not as favorites to win the tie
  • The situation from the outside seems to be in favor of City they are carrying momentum into the match and will be favorites to take all three points.
  • The only thing in favor of PSG tonight is Messi. He has an impeccable record against Pep Guardiola’s teams and it will be interesting to see his involvement in tonight’s match coming off the injury.

Neutral Probability.

 

 

  1. FINAL VERDICT (Prediction based on my inference)
  • With Sterling in the side, Guardiola has opted for a fluid front 3 with the number 9 system. Mahrez who has scored 3 goals in the last two matches against PSG is the guy to look out for. 
  • PSG is going for the classic from 3 in 4-4-3 which is a little challenging given the front 3 do not press that much.
  • Messi can create chances from thin air and is always the top priority in any team you put forward 
  • Mbappe and Messi from PSG are important
  • KDB and Mahrez from City are important
  • The special focus will be on N Mendes who is PSG's Left Back. If he can link up with Messi, he can create a few goal scoring chances
  • Scenarios 2 & 4 are high probability scenarios tonight
  • The momentum coming from City and their performances in the past coupled with PSG's lack of true identity makes me lean towards City
