PSG vs. Manchester City Betting Prediction
One of the main concerns for PSG is their lack of consistency when playing at home. But they have a solid lineup to hold the fort and head with a lead to Manchester for Game 2. Plus, the fact they took down the reining champions, well, they’re coming in hot for sure.
On the other hand, Manchester City has all the tools to take down any European team and though this isn’t their first semifinal, it’s their first under Pep Guardiola. So there’s much to expect from them, especially against a team like PSG.
