Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the PSG vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.
PSG, which sits atop the Ligue 1, the top league in France, has struggled in UEFA competition this season. It won its last UEFA game 3-0 at RB Salzburg Dec. 10, but it had lost 3 of its previous 4. PSG has won 7 of its last 8 across all competitions, so it has been on fire as of late. G Bradley Barcola leads PGS with 11 goals in 18 Ligue 1 matches.
Manchester City, while it has seen more success in UEFA competition than PSG, has struggled in many games and hasn’t lived up to expectations in the English Premier League (EPL) either. It sits fourth in EPL action and is 5-3-4 on the road. It has won 4 of its last 5 throughout all competitions. In UEFA competition, it is 0-1-2 on the road.

PSG vs. Manchester City picks and predictions
Prediction
PSG 2, Manchester City 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET PSG (+140).
Manchester City has rebounded well as of late, but it is just 5-4-9 over its last 18 matches since Oct. 30. On the road, it has struggled even more, dropping 4 of 12 EPL matches. City has lost its last 2 UEFA matches on the road and will be taking on a competent PSG side.
PSG has been incredible at home this season, winning 8 of 9 Ligue 1 matches. It has ripped off 4 straight wins. PSG is just 1-1-1 in UEFA action at home but has at least 1.4 or more expected goals than its opponent in each.
Considering those trends, BACK PSG (+140).
Over/Under (O/U)
LEAN UNDER 3.5 (-175).
Both of these teams like to score, but looking to go Over 3.5 goals is a tough ask. PSG has scored at least 2 goals in 6 of its last 8 matches and has allowed a goal in 6 of those as well.
City put 6 goals on Ipswich Town in its last match and has scored 20 goals in its last 4 games. It has allowed a goal in 7 of its last 10. With that in mind, betting the alternate line of Over 2.5 (-200) might make sense, but I’ll take my chances with UNDER 3.5 (-175) for a small wager.
