Paris Saint-Germain hosts Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 28th at Parc des Princes (Paris)
Paris Saint-Germain recently hammered Angers (5-0) and made it to the semifinals of the French Cup. Beyond that, the Parisians beat Metz over the weekend (3-1). As a result, they took the first line in the Ligue 1 standings. We will also add that Mauricio Pochettino's charges have eliminated Barcelona and the current Champions League Cup holder Bayern Munich in the previous stages of the Champions League knockout rounds. As you can see, the Parisians are doing well. The only question is whether Kylian Mbappe will play in the first leg against Manchester City. The participation of this football player is questionable, as he picked up a muscle injury.

Manchester City players will approach the upcoming game in a good mood. The team beat Aston Villa (1-2) and came close to the champion’s title in the English Premier League. Beyond that, the Citizens won a trophy over the weekend. In the League Cup final, Josep Guardiola's charges beat Tottenham (1-0). Despite the complete dominance, the only goal was scored by defender Emerick Laporte only at the end of the match. The Spurs had only 38% possession of the ball and delivered only one shot on Manchester City’s target. As for the previous Champions League knockout rounds, the Citizens have met twice with German teams. First, the Sky Blues easily dealt with Borussia Monchengladbach (4-0 on aggregate) and then beat Borussia Dortmund twice with a score of 2-1. According to bookmakers, Manchester City is the main contender to win the current Champions League draw. Their triumph is estimated with a coefficient of 2.40.
We expect a lot of goals. Both teams demonstrate an attacking style of the game and score a lot. They prefer to possess the ball and create a large number of chances near the opponent's penalty area. The top world footballers play for Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. Both teams set themselves the goal of winning the Champions League. The first goal scored can lead to wide-open football, as the away success means a lot in a two-legged game. Both the Red-Blues and the Citizens often arrange goal extravaganzas in the previous stages of the tournament. And they will probably please the fans with spectacular football one again.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
