Atalanta is decreasing in their status.
I don't think they are at this moment one team that can win the Champions League.
Meanwhile Italy at the moment will have 5 spots next year too this is quite impressive since they are not winning a cup since 2015.

At the moment Liverpool should be the safe bet

Still around Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City, it seems that this discussion topic is quite popular to be discussed. To be honest, I haven't investigated further the progress of these two teams, especially regarding Manchester City. However, if City loses, who knows how they will continue in this competition. Likewise with PSG, City is a tough opponent even though their performance is in disarray. What is certain is that both teams will be aiming for victory in order to determine the next step, so we can be sure that the time will come when both teams will appear all out to get full points. I just checked the odds for both teams, it seems that there is no significant difference presented by the betting exchange. which means that both teams have the opportunity to beat each other based on the odds presented. This match is quite difficult to predict, but what is even more doubtful is whether the PSG players will be able to score many goals, or at least one goal but become a victory. I tried to look at the six matches played by PSG, they are very poor in goals and this is a reasonable doubt. However, to be sure, we wait for the 7th session of the Champions League qualifying round to be held.

This is not an ideal bet because it is difficult to analyze the match so deciding to bet will be much riskier to lose money. In many aspects, Man City is much more convincing, but matches like this are difficult to predict because both teams need to win. A draw is also likely to happen because I believe both teams will play a little more cautiously and even though the match will take place at PSG's home ground, it is not certain that Luis Enrique can match Pep Guardiola's strategy.

There is a big stake for both clubs in the match and maybe both coaches will try to do many things to get a more positive result. In Ligue 1 PSG is much better than Man City in the Premier League but it is not a certainty for PSG to win the match because Man City also has the ability when they are in the Champions League.

Two big and rich teams will meet in the 7th match of the UCL semi league phase, so far both teams have similarities in terms of performance and also position in the UCL standings so this shows it will be difficult for us to predict who will win in the match later, for now, if betting in ligue 1 I think there is no better choice than to favour PSG but if in the UCL, it seems we need to think twice to bet on their victory even when facing a small team, yes, so far PSG have  impressive performance with win mentality in Ligue 1, but that is not seen when they play in the UCL so far, so indeed manchester city has a better chance in my opinion to win the match later even though it will be very difficult, although currently their condition is slumped in english league and also has not found consistency in their game, but their mentality in the UCL all this time in my opinion cannot be doubted.

That's right, BTTS is a comfortable choice. Exactly one week from now, both teams will face each other, both managers will certainly prepare their best strategies so they can win. I think Enrique and Pep Guardiola will rest some of their important players in their weekend match, to give them enough rest and avoid potential injuries. Given the ambition of both teams to secure a place in the play-off round, it is clear that they will beat each other and refuse to share points.

Man City is indeed more reliable, the Premier League has formed them into a tougher team than PSG. Enrique is now under heavy pressure, if PSG fails to reach the last 16, maybe the management will fire him. Actually, Pep Guardiola is also in a similar situation, he is also under pressure if he loses the match. Overall, there are many things at stake in the 7th round match.

It's like most teams have studied and understand Pep'd game pattern and the move of the players, because they're the same old players. I feel Pep should try a different game pattern to see if it will make a difference in their matches, because if City continue with their current predicament, they will become a laughing stock.

I never support PSG in big matches. Especially after Kylian Mbappé's departure, PSG has become even weaker. In a match against Manchester City, I would never bet on PSG. While PSG is a strong team at home, they probably won't be able to gain much advantage against Manchester City. Although we can't determine the outcome of a specific match based solely on statistics, PSG is not able to perform well in big matches. No matter how good the players in their squad are, their performance is never enough for big games. Perhaps it's due to their internal situation or coaching not being good enough. Even though PSG might have the home advantage, their performance against Manchester City will not be good, and I would be willing to bet on their defeat.

it's definitely not a good moment for both of us, this has an impact above all on performance, i mean the negative moment and the psychological pressure
I don't know PSG but i a m amazed that Pep Guardiola can't reverse the trend
I never expected such a resounding failure from him

maybe he's getting old or becoming predictable

There must be a winner in this game, otherwise, neither of clubs won't qualify for the play-off stage.

Honestly, i'm favoring City to win the game even with narrow score. They looked more prepared, and have better mentality, though their odds is big. City's performance is not that good, but far better than PSG who still struggle in the farmer league.

The only thing worried me is that an away game for City may be giving bad impact to their mentality, but i hope it won't happen.

I predict both of clubs to score, and i think BTTS is the right choice for this match.

I have always had the believe that Rodri's absence was the reason why they had this long term decline in performance, but after a little while of observation, I concluded that I was wrong. After that Rodri's injury in the Arsenal game, City started struggling with winning games, but it wasn't as obvious like what we see today. As at then, they where winning their games by a one goal margin, but of recent, they just don't know how to win games anymore. So, if they could sustain themselves for a little while without Rodri, then it doesn't make much sense if we say they Rodri's absence is their major problem, though it is clearly a loss to the manager and the team. Look at what they played in their last game against Brentford. They bottled a 2goal lead. Not sure if that's a Rodri effect either.

And as for their game against PSG in their next UCl competition, it is a must win for them. If they lose to PSG, then it is over. And from the factors on ground like psg's home advantage, psg's new signings, etc, this is definitely going to be very tough game for pep.

In the UEFA Champions League match between Manchester City and PSG, maybe both teams can have equal chances to win. Because we don't see much difference between the recent statistics of these two teams. So, both teams should be given equal importance when betting on this match. But Manchester City played a match few days ago where they managed to score many goals against the opposition team. Manchester City scored eight goals in that match against Salford City which was absolutely unbelievable.

Perhaps the most goals Manchester City have scored in a single match this season. But one thing is true that PSG is very strong at their home ground. They will surely put up a strong performance against Manchester City at their home ground, which will help them win that match.

City's crisis is not over yet, a few wins against weak teams is not enough and they should have beaten Brentford, but only a draw. They will have a difficult game against PSG, because despite the fact that PSG is even lower than them in the table, but it seems to me that PSG is playing better now and they can score against City and maybe even beat them. Considering that the match will be held at the Parc des Princes, I think Enrique can count on winning this match.

I am confused on who I would say is the favorite in this match because these two clubs are similar, and thay makes it difficult to know who would win the match. City's problem is that they don't have that strength of fighting till the end, looks like their four straight title is too much for them and they don't see it as anything again. Making the players not to be zealous to win matches. PSG is another story on its own.

Yes, it's true that in about a week's time we will watch this prestigious match. Of course now PSG and Manchester City will prepare everything so they can win that match. Yes, I personally also think that Manchester City will be better and there will be progress during the new year, especially when we look at Manchester City's match against Salford, there we see a lot of goals scored by Manchester City and this is one of the reasons that makes me believe that Manchester City has made progress, but If you think about it, it turns out that I made a mistake when predicting because it is normal for Salford to be beaten by Manchester City.

Yes, after losing 2 goals in their last match, it is absolutely true that this indicates that Manchester City has not made any progress. Yes, regarding the players that Manchester City will bring in, we'll see and it seems like a good step for Manchester City to bring in new players because currently Manchester City needs an injection of players even though Manchester City players don't look like they need new players because of the many star players in it. but in reality Manchester City needs new players to perform better.

I do remember that the match will be held at PSG's home ground, but for some reason I also predicted the same as you that PSG would lose that match, so I hoped would win when I bet on that match.

These two big teams are competing for safe positions in the play-off round. Manchester City has high hopes of qualifying. They don't have to win, they just hold PSG to a draw. PSG's match must work well to beat Manchester City. This is a tough task for Luis Enrique. Will the final result be as expected because Pep Guardiola also wants to win the match to qualify for the play-offs.

Both teams do have the same pressure at the moment but if both teams can get a draw in the match, it is likely that Man City can still get a position to qualify for the play-off round. However, if the upcoming match PSG only ends in a draw, it is certainly not the expected result and will likely fail to qualify for the play-off round.
So PSG in the upcoming match really hopes to be able to beat Man City but it is not an easy job for PSG players who may have difficulty defeating Man City.
So this match will be a very interesting match with a new format, both popular teams will both try to get the best results and I am still sure that Man City will get the best position.

The situations faced by Manchester City and PSG are both difficult. because these two teams really have to get full points in the last two matches in the current phase. If not, they will potentially not qualify for the Play-Offs. I don't know what happened to these two teams in the UCL. In fact, usually Manchester City and PSG can always go further quite easily without any significant difficulties. Even though PSG sometimes struggles, it's not as bad as this season. The new format really makes it difficult for these big teams.

If Manchester city fails in the UCL this season then perhaps Pep will remain safe. Because he also just made a contract extension for two seasons. And I'm sure one bad season won't get Pep fired. But consideration of firing him may be there but the possibility is small. But perhaps the current PSG coach, Luis Enrique, is in a difficult position. Because if PSG fails in the UCL this season then I think his position as manager will really be threatened there.

Exactly. There are many reasons why Manchester City's performance is going this way, not just because Rodri is missing. As you said, Manchester City's performance is not really good enough, although some people think that because some of their few key players are not around or injured, that is why they are playing this way, but to me, seriously, it is not. We need to look at the other side of the team, not just the missing players.


Seriously. They won’t be like before; with the way things are going for them, I can see that there is not even an attempt to be great like before again, although you are right: they can be stronger and good in performance, but Manchester City will find it difficult to be as good as they were before. 

That's premier league though and playing a draw doesn't affect Mancity that much interm of performance  this year, I still see them to be improving nevertheless... besides, you guys think Brentford is a  small team ??
Just as you've also concluded, I still think they are going to perform better against PSG but maybe not  "far better" but they should win their next imo ..
so far Pep still coaches that team I still believe in them to perform better 

Compared to Manchester City i think PSG a bit better because at their domestic league PSG still consistent this because in Ligue 1 PSG is still dominate this league without get decent contender for race title but Manchester City a bit worse because in Premier league they have to hard struggle to reach top 4 even Manchester City is not strong contender anymore for the title but in Champion league their performance probably is equal and to qualified to the next round probably top 24 is the reasonable position for them

Speaking about Guardiola i don't think Manchester City owner will sack him if he failed to bring this team to the next round but it would be very embarrassing because at the beginning of season they were one of the favourites the same goes for Luis Enrique because i think his position as manager will remain secure in PSG and this match is so important for both teams because if one of them lost then most likely they will not be qualified
