[Football- Champions League] 4.5/ 21:00 Manchester City- PSG

We're going bigger today, BTTS looks decent enough but at 1.54 it's towing the line to not being worth the risk prematch, so instead we look towards the possibility that PSG will simply go for this.

City are a decent enough unit at the back, but this has been put under some pressure in the last few weeks, conceding far more on average than they were around Christmas this year, maybe it is fatigue or maybe they are just not so bothered knowing they pretty much have the Prem wrapped up. But no matter what way you are looking at it they are conceding goals. (Full disclosure, City concede in a fair amount of games, but also do not concede more than one very often.)

PSG however are a slightly different prospect to Wolves or Southampton, after feeling in control in the reverse fixture, they will be reeling to know they ended up losing after a blitz by City in the second half. PSG aren't strangers to high scoring games, scoring on average 2.5 goals a game this season.

There is of course a reason those odds are so high, but I believe that PSG will go guns blazing, and City will look to sit deep and break on the counter. PSG simply have to score more than 1 if they have any hope of progressing, PSG will feel hard done by their last couple of champions league campaigns alternatively, City may be feeling the pressure of notoriously never getting further than this with Pep as their manager.
