PSG are still outside the top 24 of the Champions League standings with 7 points from 6 games. If they want to qualify for the play-offs, they need to get at least 4 points from their remaining 2 games. If they lose to Man City, Luis Enrique's team will definitely have no chance of getting out of the group stage.
PSG face a tough group, facing Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and now Man City. But to have picked up just one point from three games is still a huge disappointment.
PSG are in good form at the moment, winning 8 consecutive matches in all competitions. In Ligue 1, they are at the top of the table and 9 points ahead of the team below. Priority will be placed on the journey in Europe, when they are at high risk of being eliminated early.
On the other side of the front line, Man City is currently ranked 22nd in the Champions League table with 8 points. After a series of bad matches at the end of the year, it seems that City is back on track after 4 wins in the last 5 matches.
In Europe, City have lost two consecutive away games, their worst run since the 2011-12 season, against Sporting Lisbon and Juventus. It has greatly affected their chances of progressing.
City’s only wins have come against underdogs Slovan Bratislava and fellow fourth-seeded Sparta Prague. Three points from their remaining two games would be enough to progress, but defeat to PSG would be a huge blow for them heading into their final game.
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
