Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
Best Bet: Ferran Torres anytime goalscorer @ 7/4
Two of the best attacking teams in the world will go head-to-head, so you would expect goals at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Six were scored the last time these two teams met in January 2025, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Ousmane Dembele and Joao Neves on the scoresheet.
One man who will be desperate to shine more than most will be Ferran Torres, who returns to his former club looking to prove a point.
The Spanish forward was unlucky not to feature more often during his two-year stint in the Premier League - making just 28 first-team appearances for Man City.
Torres did score nine goals during his time in England and has gone on to show his quality at FC Barcelona and Paris since then.
The 26-year-old found the net 41 times in 140 games for Barcelona and then scored the goal that won the World Cup for Spain this summer.
Torres, who started his career at Valencia, then sealed a move to Paris and has made a bright start to life in the French capital.
He has already found the net four times in six appearances and that includes goals in their last two away games - at Brest and Marseille - while also bagging a hat-trick in the matchday one win.
Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 11/10
These two teams have already scored 27 goals in 12 domestic league games between them, while also making a good start to this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Paris are top of the standings following their 6-1 home success over SK Slovan Bratislava, while Man City began their campaign with a solid 2-0 victory at FC Porto.
Under Pep Guardiola, City averaged 1.87 goals per game during last season’s League Stage while Paris - en-route to a second successive title - averaged 2.62 per European game.
There were six goals in their most recent meeting in 2025, and there have been three or more goals in four of their last seven head-to-head encounters.
Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain Bet Builder
Both teams to score
Elliot Anderson 2+ fouls won
Most goals in 2nd half
Pays 39/10
Man City go into this fixture having scored in every one of their eight competitive games so far this season, while Paris have found the net in their last six.
It’s also worth noting that both teams have scored in three of their last five meetings, including a 2-1 success for Man City at the City of Manchester Stadium in 2021.
A few eyebrows were raised when Man City shelled out £116 million for Elliot Anderson in the summer, but the England international has already made a big impact.
The former Nottingham Forest and Newcastle man has shone after replacing Rodri and the midfielder has been targeted by some teams.
Anderson, who started on the bench against Porto, was fouled eight times in the weekend victory over Liverpool.
So far this season, Man City have scored 10 of their last 15 goals after the half-time break, including all three of their strikes at Anfield.
Meanwhile, of Paris' last five goals, four have come in the second half of those two matches.
