PSG are still outside the top 24 in the Champions League standings with 7 points after 6 matches. If they want to qualify for the play-off round, they must win at least 4 points in the remaining 2 matches. If they lose to Man City, Luis Enrique's team will certainly have no chance to pass the group stage.
PSG face a tough group, against Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and now Man City. But only getting one point after three games is a big disappointment.
At the moment, PSG is in good form, winning 8 consecutive matches in all competitions. In Ligue 1, they are top of the table and nine points ahead of the team behind. Priority will be given to the journey in Europe, when they are at high risk of being eliminated early.
On the other side of the front line, Man City are currently 22nd in the Champions League rankings with 8 points. After a series of poor results at the end of the year, it seems City have returned to the right direction after 4 wins in the last 5 matches.
In the European arena, City have lost 2 consecutive away matches, the worst record since the 2011-12 season, against Sporting Lisbon and Juventus. It greatly affects their chances of going through.
City's only victory came in matches against weak team Slovan Bratislava and the 4th seed team Sparta Prague. Just 3 points in the remaining 2 matches are enough to continue, but if they lose to PSG, it will make them extremely tense when playing the last match.
Expected lineup
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Pacho, Hernandez, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Dembele, Doue, Barcola
Man City: Ederson; Lewis, Ruben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Bernardo Silva, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Savinho
