Man City Slight Favorites Over PSG In UCL Group Stage Play

Champions League Round 2 Betting Predictions

The last two sides to fall in the UEFA Champions League final will clash in the second match of the group stage play. Manchester City, 1-0 losers to Chelsea in 2021 final, are off to France for a Matchday 2 contest in Group A against Paris Saint-Germain, 1-0 losers to Bayern Munich in the 2020 UCL final. Manchester City have been established as the +140 away favorites over PSG in the UEFA Champions League odds.

• Manchester City are +140 away favorites to defeat Paris Saint-Germain in their Group A UEFA Champions League match
• Manchester United are a -200 home choice over Villareal in a Group F match that is a rematch of the 2021 Europa League final
• Surprising Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol are heavy +2200 underdogs at Real Madrid in a Group D match

If Manchester City were to ask Paris Saint-Germain, they'd probably hear that their UEFA Champions League odds are not promising this season. However, were the Man City faithful to turn to their English Premier League rivals Liverpool, they'd learn that their side was a wise investment in UEFA Champions League betting.

Manchester City were losing finalists in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final. Last season, a year after losing to Bayern Munich in the 2020 UCL final, PSG lost to Man City in the semifinals. On the other hand, Liverpool won the 2019 UEFA Champions League final after falling in 2018 final. Liverpool is among four sides to make it back to the final in the season immediately following their loss in the final.

Barcelona	+3300	+3000	+3300

Both Man City and PSG are situated in Group A and will meet on Tuesday, September 28 on Matchday 2 of the UCL group stage competition. Manchester City and PSG are the co-betting favorites in the UCL Vegas odds to win the 2022 title.

Paris Saint-Germain (+180) vs Manchester City (+140)

Manchester City easily handled PSG 4-1 on aggregate in last year's UCL semifinals. That two-leg set started with a 2-0 Man City verdict at the Parc des Princes in Paris. However, that was a match played without spectators during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. How much will stands filled with supporters provide a boost to the Parisian side?

PSG still appears to be struggling with tactics when it comes to incorporating their three-headed set of lethal finishers in Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappe, and new addition Lionel Messi. They were held 1-1 by Club Brugge in their opening match.

Manchester City smacked RB Leipzig 6-3 despite the injury absence of Phil Foden and with Kevin de Bruyne coming off the subs' bench.

Still, the best bet here might be to go with the draw at odds of +270.

Real Madrid (-950) vs Sheriff Tiraspol (+2200)

There's a new Sheriff in town and it must be said that so far, their defiance of the UEFA Champions League odds has proven to be arresting. The first Moldovan side to each reach the group stage of the tournament, Sheriff Tiraspol continued their giant-killing ways, blanking Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 to top the group after one match.

Expecting them to go to Real Madrid and come away with the three points, though is probably asking too much. Record 13-time winners of the UEFA Champions League and its forerunner the European Cup, Real Madrid were semi-finalists last year. The Spanish giants opened with a 1-0 away win at Inter Milan.

Don't take Real Madrid at -950 or Sheriff at +2200 in the UCL Vegas odds. Instead, play the spread on Sheriff of +2.5 at a -110 betting line.

Manchester United (-200) vs Villareal (+500)

A rematch of one of the wildest UEFA Europa League finals in history. Villareal won 11-10 on penalties when Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea missed his spot-kick. 

At Old Trafford, Man U will be fired up for revenge and this time around, they'll have Cristiano Ronaldo in their side. He's netted four goals in three matches since transferring back to Manchester United from Juventus.

United were shocking 2-1 losers to Young Boys in their opening match. Villareal battled to a 2-2 draw with Atalanta.
