The Champions League has its sequel. The second matches of the group stage are on the schedule and the most interesting match will be the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. It will be a duel between the two biggest favourites for the overall triumph. Who is in better form?
The Parisian club has only the highest ambitions. After the arrival of Ramos, Donnarumma, Ramos, Hakimi, Wijnaldum or Messi, it couldn’t be otherwise. On paper this team looks extremely strong, only a handful of the best teams can compete with them in terms of quality.
However, the reality is a bit different. The large number of reinforcements has caused the team to be disjointed. Defensively, PSG is quite good, but the attack. It certainly hasn’t made the contribution that was expected. He’s still waiting to score a goal for the French team.
Paris Saint-Germain need to work hard as they have not had a good start to the group. Mauricio Pochettino’s side drew 1-1 with Bruges and suffered their first loss. It was a very unexpected result and today’s win is more than desirable.
Another loss could make the path to promotion quite difficult. However, it will be very difficult against Manchester City, Citizens are in great form and the home side will be missing a number of mainstays due to health problems.
Injuries: Kurzawa, Bernat, Di María, Ramos, Gharbi
The current game situation looks better for coach Pep Guardiola’s team. They got off to a great start in the Champions League, beating RB Leipzig 6-3 in a crazy shootout. A few days later, a heated game against Chelsea went well, and after an excellent performance they beat the Blues 1: 0.
So the better form is definitely on the Citizens side. If Guardiola chooses the right tactical plan, their chances against PSG will be very solid.
Injuries: Mendy, Steffen
What to bet on?
A game that has no clear favourite. Both teams have tremendous strength, but Manchester City are showing better performance now. The away side also has a great record against each other. Out of the 5 matches between them, Citizens have not lost even one, they even managed to win the last 3 matches.
