Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview
Recent results
Man City continued their impressive winning streak with a 3-0 victory at rivals Liverpool last Sunday. All the noise in the build-up was about the 115 charges, but the players coped with the Anfield atmosphere magnificently, with Erling Haaland typically opening the scoring. City’s previous match in this competition saw them win 2-0 at FC Porto.
After a very slow start from a domestic standpoint, PSG made it three consecutive victories in Ligue 1 on the weekend with a 3-1 home success over Le Mans, following on from away triumphs over Brest (0-1) and Marseille (1-2). The Parisians thrashed Slovan Bratislava 6-1 on Matchday 1 of this competition.
Head-to-head record
Man City have a good record against PSG, winning four of the six previous Champions League contests.
However, the last meeting between the sides in January 2025 saw the Parisians claim a 4-2 victory at the Parc des Princes.
Team news
Maresca currently has a fully-fit Man City squad to pick from, with Phil Foden also available here – as his three-match suspension only applies to the Premier League. Jeremy Doku could return to the starting XI after his game-changing cameo vs Liverpool, while Ayyoub Bouaddi is an option to freshen up the midfield.
PSG are set to recall Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele and Nuno Mendes to the squad after the pair were given additional rest following the international break, a huge boost for Enrique. Senny Mayulu is the only injury absentee for the Parisians, with the likes of Marquinhos, William Pacho, Vitinha, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all in line to return to the XI after being rested in the victory over Le Mans. Ex-Man City boy Ferran Torres is likely to be an impact sub, despite scoring a hat-trick vs Slovan Bratislava on Matchday 1.
Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain Betting Tips
Total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.40
With the level of attacking players set to be on show at the Etihad, it is hard to see how this game is not a high-scoring affair. Over 2.5 goals were scored in City’s previous three matches across all competitions, as well as in six of PSG’s last seven outings.
Anytime goalscorer – Erling Haaland @ 1.92
Haaland at close to evens in the Anytime Goalscorer market?! Yes please! Man City’s main man has been in typically fabulous form this season with eight goals in seven appearances across all competitions, including a brace vs FC Porto. Haaland also boasts a record of 59 goals in as many Champions League games, so when his odds shift this close to 2.00, it is an opportunity which cannot be missed.
Anytime goalscorer – Ousmane Dembele @ 2.55
Dembele looks nailed on to return as PSG’s focal point in attack, and his recent Champions League record is phenomenal. The fleet-footed forward scored in each of his last five competition appearances, including from the penalty spot in last season’s final victory over Arsenal. Also with four goals in his previous five games against English opposition overall, Dembele is well worth backing at a very healthy price.
