Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain have met many times on this stage, and the last time at the Etihad the hosts came out 2-1 winners, but the context is different this time because both sides opened the tournament with a win each, and their league form is heading in opposite directions. Manchester City have won five in a row, including domestic cup games and their opening match of this competition, with their most recent outing a 3-0 rout, while Paris Saint Germain have also won four in a row, though a 1-2 defeat still lingers from earlier in the month. Both attacks are scoring freely, while both defences have had spells of being breached. The game is likely to be open from the start, because both teams dominate possession and create chances mainly from midfield. If either side scores first, the game will open up even more, and the second half tends to be fiercer than the first, because both teams usually score more late in games than early on.
