The addition of F Lionel Messi was supposed to give PSG one of the best attacking units to ever be put on the pitch but it has taken longer for the group to get acclimated than many assumed. PSG kicked off Group Stage action with a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge Sept. 15. It’ll need to play much better for a chance against Manchester City, a top-four EPL side.
Man City thrashed RB Leipzig 6-3 Sept. 15, despite hat trick from Leipzig F Christopher Nkunku. City is coming into Tuesday’s match off a thrilling 1-0 win over the previously undefeated Chelsea in EPL play.

Manchester City 1, PSG 1
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to the DRAW (+245) as Manchester City has shown flaws this season.
A draw with Southampton and loss to Tottenham in the EPL still hang over City’s season performance.
PSG is arguably the most talented club Man City will face this season. With F Kylian Mbappe and F Neymar on deck, Paris St. Germain is undefeated in Ligue 1 action.
This is a battle of two European powerhouses, and it’s tough to tell the sides apart. With Man City not having a true nine and PSG only with elite attackers, this could easily end in a draw.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+110) as Man City has the best defense in the EPL.
There are about six or seven top-tier teams in the world, and these are two of them. That said, while PSG can average 3 goals per game in league action, Man City has given up just 1 through six games.
I expect an attack as lethal as PSG’s to break through some, but it’d be shocking if it puts up numerous goals on Man City.
With D Kyle Walker and D John Stones anchoring the backline along with an outstanding possession-minded midfield, expect a low-scoring match.
With plus-money odds, I’d put a unit on the Man City defense holding up.
