MATCH PREVIEW

Paris Saint Germain welcome Manchester City for a mouthwatering encounter in the Champions League semifinal of the 2020/21 season.

Both teams are in the midst of fixture congestion, the Citizens playing their 4th game in the space of 11 days, while the hosts will be lining up for the same inside 10 days.

Yet, there will be no lack of ambitions with a maiden Champions League title in the hindsight, PSG coming close last season only to be denied by Bayern Munich.

They got over the same German opposition this term, in the quarter final on away goal rule after a thrilling 3-2 win at Allianz Arena. They had the toughest of routes in this competition this far with their round of 16 opponent being the mighty Barcelona defeated on 5-2 aggregate after heroics from Kylian Mbappe and Keylor Navas.

Manchester City defeated Borussia Dortmund with wins in both quarter final leg after doing the same against out of Monchengladbach. They are also the only unbeaten team in this competition with 9 wins from 10, the only time they failed to grab full-three points was on matchday 5 visit to Porto.

PREDICTION

Both teams have plenty of firepower upfront, yet we expect an action packed match at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Therefore the over 2.5 goals priced at 1.67 odd is our primary pick for this Champions League tie. Manchester City scored at an average of 2.1 goals per game whereas PSG at 2.4 goals per game across all competitions this season.

Regarding full-time results, I tend to go with Manchester City, heavily influenced by Pep Guardiola’s h2h record against Mauricio Pochettino during their stint with various clubs across Europe. The Spaniard tasted victory on 11 occasions as against the Argentine’s 3 wins with another 4 ending in draws. City to win here is priced at 2.15 odd and I do believe that the Premier League is the more settled unit as in comparison and they are good to back for a full-time win here.

Less than 2.75 goals to be predicted.
