PSG vs Manchester City Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/22/25

Two of the betting favorites to win the Champions League at the start of the tournament clash in Paris on Wednesday and both are in desperate need of 3 points after poor campaigns so far. PSG and Manchester City are separated by just a single point in the new league phase of the Champions League, with City sitting 22nd and Les Parisiens 25th in the standings. 2 games remain in this stage, and both teams need to win both remaining games to stand any chance of automatic qualification to the last 16.

While PSG and Manchester City have endured a difficult time in this competition so far, both head into this game in good form. PSG are 9 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after beating Lens 2-1 at the weekend, while Manchester City’s 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich made it 4 wins from their last 5, having seemingly recovered from their unprecedentedly poor run of form through November and December. The Citizens have scored 22 goals across these 5 matches and, with PSG also in good scoring form, expect an entertaining game at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 6 of PSG’s last 8 matches and in each of Manchester City’s last 4 games, as well as 4 of their last 5 in the Champions League. With both teams in such hot goalscoring form, it’s worth taking the added risk and backing 4+ goals to be scored here at plus-money odds.
