According to the best football bookies in 2025, Paris Saint-Germain are the slight home favorites at 2.50 (3/2). A draw is offered at 3.75 (11/4), while Man City are the away underdogs at 2.65 (33/20) to beat PSG in the UCL 7th round.
The head-to-head score between both teams has been hugely in favor of the Citizens. They have faced each other only seven times in history, and Man City won four, drew twice, and Paris Saint-Germain won once.
PSG are currently sitting on top of the Ligue 1 standings, but they aren’t having the same success in the UCL. The Parisians are 25th in the Champions League standings, having won two, drawn one, and lost three games so far. They will face Le Mans in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France tournament soon.
PSG are coming off a 2-1 away win over Lens in Ligue 1. The Parisians were losing in the first half, but Fabian Ruiz and Bradley Barcola scored in the second half to get the win. Paris Saint-Germain are now on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions. They have only one loss at home this season, which was against Atletico Madrid on matchday four.
PSG are still missing Marquinhos, while the team’s latest signing, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, is also out for this game.
Man City are currently sitting in 4th place in the Premier League standings. The Citizens have struggled for the majority of this season so far, having won only two of six UCL games, which puts them in 22nd spot. Man City will face Leyton Orient in the FA Cup round of 32 next month.
Man City are coming off a big 6-0 away win over Ipswich Town in the EPL. Five different players scored for the team in that game, as they have shown that they are still in the title race with that win. The UCL 2024/25 betting odds have the Citizens as the 5th favorites to win the title, despite them struggling in the competition this season.
Manchester City are still missing Oscar Bobb and Rodri with long-term injuries, while John Stones is doubtful for this game.

Pep Guardiola and Man City have slowly gained the momentum back, having scored 20 goals in the last five matches, and they are on a six-game unbeaten streak. Paris Saint-Germain haven’t done well in the UCL home games lately, as they have only one win in their last six UCL games at Parc des Princes, so Man City will have good winning chances in this game.
It’s not every day that you can bet on Man City online with such enticing odds. The Citizens lost only three of 29 UCL games in the last three seasons, so they have a big chance to get a push here with a draw even if they don’t win.

Both teams are elite offensively and rarely struggle to score, even against the best defensive clubs. PSG have scored at least one goal in 24 of their 27 games this season, while Man City have scored in 28 of their 32 games. The Citizens have gone over the total in eight of their last 11 games, averaging 3.7 goals per game. PSG have had a lot of high-scoring games lately as well, so there’s a big possibility the same happens again.

Erling Haaland is tied for 4th on the UCL 24/25 top scorers list with five goals scored. The Norwegian striker is in fine form, having scored four goals in his last four starts. Haaland signed a 10-year contract with Man City last week, so he is in good spirits and ready to keep doing what he does best: scoring goals. PSG conceded four goals in their last three games from much weaker opponents, so Erling will have a lot of scoring chances.
The Citizens have started a good run in this crucial stage of the season, so we expect them to get a positive result here. Make sure you use our 2025 PSG vs Man City betting predictions and bet them at the best bookmakers in Europe to have more fun watching the game.
