PSG - Man City prediction
Man City moneyline ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +170 via DraftKings | Estimated probability: 37.04%
Did everyone enjoy laughing at Pep Guardiola's team in that brief period of time when it showed it was human? After years of dominance on the continent and domestically, Man City collapsed back to earth during a poor run of games.
After six games without a win and around £65 million on transfers (so far), the Citizens seem to have returned to their best form. This is largely thanks to the no-name player Erling Haaland. Man City have scored 23 goals in the aforementioned period, only four of which have come from the Norwegian striker.
Despite the fact that Paris Saint-Germain under Luis Enrique show high class, they lack a constant threat in front of goal. The Red and Whites have scored just six goals in the Champions League this campaign. If the Citizens can score a couple away goals, as they have done in five of their last six matches, it's hard to imagine a way back for the hosts.
DraftKings leads our top sports betting sites with the best odds on Man City to win (+170), giving a 37.04% implied probability of victory.

Phil Foden is the top scorer ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +290 via BetMGM | Estimated odds: 25.64%.
The reigning Premier League Player of the Season failed to come out of the gate. Foden didn't score his first goal until October 1, and he didn't score in home matches until December 21. However, with the start of the new season, he is already knocking on the door of another double-digit goal season.
Foden has been on fire lately, with five goals in his last three games. Add to that his scoring record in the Champions League (three goals in five appearances). In short, it's hard to find a stronger attacking threat on either side.
BetMGM is betting on Foden at +290 odds as an all-time scorer. That means that a $10 bet will yield $29 in profit if the 24-year-old continues to score in this epic match.
