PSG vs Man City Prediction, Lineups and Odds: In-form Foden backed at 12/1

Champions League group stage matches don't get much bigger than PSG vs Man City who lock horns at the Parc des Princes at 8pm tonight, live on TNT Sports 1.
Both clubs have endured disappointing Champions League campaigns so far, meaning the pressure is on to secure all three points in Paris.
Tom Winch has previewed the match and supplied his best bets, including a 12/1 double, which features the in-form Phil Foden.
PSG vs Man City Predictions
Luis Enrique’s men are 25th while the Citizens occupy 22nd. It's been an underwhelming campaign for both after six outings: PSG and City have won two matches, a lacklustre record given their football pedigree.
Ligue 1’s league leaders are slight favourites heading into this clash at 6/4 with multiple sites, while Pep Guardiola‘s side are priced around the 17/10 mark to earn three points.
With Man City a point ahead of the opposition, a draw would do them more favours. City have a favourable final league phase game at home against Club Brugge. PSG take on Stuttgart, which is a tough clash: The Germans are 2/9 favourites at Slovan Bratislava 24 hours before the clash in France.
Several attacking players can cause damage to either defence in this encounter. PSG have the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos, while Marco Asensio and Kang-In Lee could feature despite limited minutes in the competition.
When Erling Haaland is available, you're always in with a chance of scoring. City bagged six at the weekend and have scored in 26 of 30 matches across all competitions this term. Phil Foden has performed well recently, while Doku, Savinho and Kevin De Bruyne have looked better in previous outings.
Adding each side to receive a booking makes for an appeal, with this clash being vital. The combination provides a lovely price. Polish referee Szymon Marciniak isn’t an ideal appointment, but his Champions League average of 3.82 yellows per game across 51 matches should show signs of encouragement. He’s booked five of six sides in his three appearances this season.

I’m a big fan of Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman has scored 11 Ligue 1 goals, more than any other PSG player. He’s yet to score in the Champions League despite racking up 1.54xG.
Bradley scored a late winner in PSG’s win at Lens on Saturday night, so will be raring to take on a City side with defensive vulnerabilities.
Phil Foden has scored six Premier League goals, five came in his previous three outings. The Englishman is averaging 0.73 goals per 90 in the Champions League and will be desperate to continue his scoring streak. He has averaged 1.94 shots on target per 90 across 372 minutes of football.
The Parisiens have conceded in four of six matches in this competition and I’ll be shocked if they earn a clean sheet on Wednesday night.

PSG vs Man City Lineups
Both managers are likely to field their strongest available lineups for the match.
PSG will hope to have key players like Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi back in action. However, new star signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, recently acquired from Napoli, will not feature in tonight's game.
For Manchester City, Kyle Walker remains unavailable as his move to AC Milan nears completion. Defender Nathan Ake is also sidelined, and John Stones may not be risked for this fixture.
The starting lineups for PSG vs Man City will be displayed in the graphic below once the team news has officially been announced, approximately one hour before kick-off.
