67/1 Super Sub Bet Builder for PSG vs Man City
Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
The new Champions League format hasn’t been universally accepted, but Wednesday’s standout clash is exactly the kind of game we were promised. Two European heavyweights meet in a meaningful clash in the first stage of the competition, with both PSG and Manchester City at risk of missing out on the knockout stage.
Ahead of this key showdown, I’ve picked out a 67/1 Ultimate Bet Builder, which consists of four legs that qualify for Paddy Power’s Super Sub offer. Should any of the four selected players be subbed off before landing their leg, the bet rolls over to their substitute for the remainder of the game. On top of that, new customers can also take advantage of their great introductory offer.
PSG vs Man City Ultimate Bet Builder
Phil Foden to score anytime
Manchester City’s fortunes appear to be turning alongside Phil Foden’s as the England international has bounced back from a poor start to the campaign. His brace at Ipswich on Sunday took him to five goals across his previous three Premier League games, while he’s scored a brace in the two games he’s played in the last seven days.
Both sides are likely to be desperate for points and that should lead to goals, so back Foden to continue an impressive run of form.
Achraf Hakimi 1+ shot on target
Of course, PSG will be looking to pour forward at home – something they’ve regularly done in the Champions League this season. While they have a talented front three, it’s right-back Achraf Hakimi who catches the eye in the shots on target market.
The defender has 16 shots on target across all competitions this season, including a team-high seven in the Champions League. He has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his six matches in Europe, including encounters with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven.
Ousmane Dembele to be fouled 2+ times
Ousmane Dembele’s time in PSG’s starting lineup could be numbered, with Bradley Barcola in brilliant form and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joining from Napoli. However, the Georgian winger isn’t available for the League Phase, which should keep Dembele in the starting lineup.
The winger has been fouled twice or more in three of his four Champions League appearances. He’s harder to pin down in Ligue 1, but he was fouled twice in December’s clash with Monaco. Josko Gvardiol will be matching up with him for City and he leads the way for his side in terms of fouls in this competition.
Mateo Kovacic to be carded
Kovacic was on the scoresheet at the weekend in City’s routine win over Ipswich, but he’ll have more of a defensive focus in Paris. The Croatian will likely be at the base of City’s midfield, where he’ll likely have to compensate for the ageing legs of Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan.
Kovacic has four bookings to his name in the Premier League, while he has been cautioned once across just 105 minutes in this season’s Champions League. Given the scale of the contest, back Kovacic for a caution.
