Champions League
City have historically had the better of this fixture, winning four of the seven previous Champions League meetings, compared with two PSG victories and one draw. However, PSG won the most recent encounter 4-2 in Paris in January 2025, demonstrating that this matchup can produce high-scoring contests.
Manchester City team overview
Enzo Maresca’s men enter the match in exceptional domestic form. They have won all six of their Premier League matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding only five, including their latest 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. The trio of Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki found the net.
Their Champions League numbers are also encouraging. City averaged 64% possession and produced 20 shots and 10 shots on target against Porto, while their 2.5 expected goals compared with only 0.3 expected goals conceded highlights the quality of their opening European performance.
Haaland remains the main attacking threat, having scored five Premier League goals before the Liverpool game and two more in the Champions League. He overcame a minor fitness concern during the international break and subsequently started against Liverpool. Phil Foden is available, as his red card in the Manchester derby does not carry over to European competition.

PSG team overview
PSG head into this fixture on the back of a three-game winning streak in Ligue 1. Nonetheless, Luis Enrique's side have been less consistent than expected. PSG's first six Ligue 1 matches produced only three wins, including a 2-1 home loss to Monaco, but they responded positively by beating Marseille 2-1 and then Le Mans 3-1.
The reigning Champions League winners also retain considerable attacking power in Europe. Their 6-1 demolition of Slovan Bratislava produced 35 shots, 14 on target and 4.7 xG, while they controlled 72% possession.
Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia provide major attacking threats, while Dembélé has already registered two assists in the Champions League. Warren Zaïre-Emery is the principal injury concern, with a thigh problem keeping him unavailable according to the latest reports.

Prediction
PSG's struggles early in the new season seem to be over, with four consecutive wins across all competitions. City are yet to lose a competitive fixture this season, if the Community Shield is not taken into consideration, but PSG's impressive recent away form in Europe includes wins and draws against elite opposition such as Bayern, Liverpool and Chelsea. They should avoid defeat on Wednesday.
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain to Draw or Win (Double chance X2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance X2
- PSG endured a worrying winless spell in the early weeks of the 2026/27 campaign across all competitions, but they have now returned to winning ways, securing four consecutive victories.
- As back-to-back Champions League winners, PSG usually turn up on European nights and show their true potential. A 6-1 demolition of Slovan in Round 1 was proof of that.
- City have yet to be truly tested this season in any competition, and PSG will definitely give them a fight. Although the Citizens claimed home wins in both meetings in 2021, those matches were closely contested. Given PSG's solid away record against European heavyweights - 1-1 with Bayern, 2-0 against Liverpool and 3-0 against Chelsea - this could be a very difficult night for City.
