Manchester City will be looking to secure their place in a first-ever Champions League final when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Manchester City vs PSG Preview
The Citizens’ hopes of finally reaching an elusive Champions League final seemed to be fading away when they went in 1-0 down at the break in Paris and struggling to get a foothold in the game.
Instead, they came out in the second half and put in a dominant display that earned two goals and saw Mauricio Pochettino’s team committing numerous fouls in frustration.
This has actually been a recurring theme throughout this season’s Champions League campaign, where City have scored 16 of their 23 goals in the second 45 – hitting the net prior to half-time just once in their three most recent matches.
Manchester City vs PSG Tips and Predictions
With a comfortable lead to protect, odds of 20/21 (1.95) seem like solid value on City ensuring goals are at a premium until at least the second half against a PSG team potentially missing Mbappe.
