Seeking to avenge their September defeat at the Parc des Princes, Manchester City welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad Stadium for Wednesday’s Champions League Group A battle.



The hosts currently sit at the summit with nine points to their name, but PSG are only one point behind and will also eye qualification to the next round this week.

MATCH PREVIEW
Two weeks after putting five past surprise package Club Brugge on their Belgian turf, Man City produced an equally ruthless performance to comfortably dispatch their Group A counterparts in Manchester, with Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus on the scoresheet in a 4-1 success.



City’s bid for back-to-back Premier League titles also gathered pace at the weekend with a comprehensive 3-0 thumping of Everton – during which Rodri scored one of the goals of the season – but Guardiola is still after that elusive European crown.



A thunderbolt from Messi and strike from Idrissa Gueye saw PSG prevail 2-0 over Man City in Paris two months ago, but Guardiola’s men won 2-0 at home in last season’s semi-finals, and the visitors are without a goal at the Etihad from their previous three battles on the Manchester turf.

BABOYO SAYS

PSG have historically struggled for a clinical edge at the Etihad, but their recent goal scoring exploits with the famed front three should certainly see them register at least once in midweek.



Baboyo predicts the outcome will be over 1.5
