Matchdays 3 and 4 produced eight exact correct scores between them, including Croatia 1-2 Spain, Portugal 2-1 Norway and Switzerland 3-0 North Macedonia. Matchday 4 was clearly the better of the two: the main and value tips each landed in 15 of 26 matches, and in ten matches the main tip, value tip and Bet Builder all came in. Goalless draws such as Estonia 0-0 Iceland, Montenegro 0-0 Armenia and Greece 0-0 Germany dragged the numbers down.

How Did Our Highlight Match Go?
Croatia v England: a mixed result. The value tip (England to win) landed in style as England won 7-0 in Rijeka, but the main tip (Both teams to score) and the correct score (1-2) both missed because Croatia never found the net. Read the full tip here.
England v Czechia: a near-perfect night. England won 3-0, so the main tip (England to win), the value tip (Both teams to score: No) and the Bet Builder all landed; only the correct score (2-0) missed, by one goal. Read the full tip here.
1X2 and Main Markets
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Manchester City | 8/7 |
| Draw | 27/10 |
| PSG | 8/5 |
| Manchester City or draw | 4/9 |
| Draw or PSG | 5/8 |
| Manchester City or PSG | 6/25 |
| Over 2.5 goals | 3/7 |
| Under 2.5 goals | 9/5 |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 3/8 |
| Both teams to score – No | 39/20 |
Casumo prices. The market can barely separate the sides, with City at 8/7, PSG at 8/5 and the draw at 27/10. The goals markets point firmly to goals: Over 2.5 is 3/7 and both teams to score 3/8.
Value Calculator
| Outcome | Odds | Impl. | Ours | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester City | 8/7 | 46.7% | 38% | -8.7% |
| Draw | 27/10 | 27.0% | 23% | -4.0% |
| PSG | 8/5 | 38.5% | 39% | +0.5% |
Impl. = the bookmaker’s implied probability. Ours = our estimate.
Market probability: Manchester City 42% | Draw 24% | PSG 34% (calculated from the 1X2 odds above, with the bookmaker’s margin removed).
Removing the margin is a straightforward calculation on the three prices; “our estimate” on top of that is editorial judgement based on current form and underlying numbers, not a proprietary model. PSG to win is where we see the edge, although at Casumo’s 8/5 it is small: 39% against 38.5% implied. Their underlying numbers are stronger than City’s, City’s results have run ahead of their chances, and PSG won the last meeting 4-2. For our main tip, Over 2.5 goals, we estimate 70% against an implied 71.4% at Midnite, so it is chosen for its high probability rather than for value.
Our Tips in Detail
Main Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 2/5
- Manchester City have scored 13 goals in five league games, 2.6 per match
- Four of PSG’s last five matches have produced at least three goals
- Three of the last five meetings went over 2.5 goals, most recently PSG’s 4-2 win in January 2025
- Both sides create plenty: City average 2.10 xG per league match and PSG 2.42
The strongest argument against is City’s defence: they have conceded only five goals in five league games and kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches.
Value Tip: PSG to win @ 8/5
- PSG’s underlying numbers are stronger: their xG difference is +1.22 per league match against City’s +0.66
- PSG won the last meeting 4-2 in the league phase in January 2025
- PSG opened this Champions League with a 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava and top the table after Matchday 1
- PSG have won three in a row, most recently 2-1 at Marseille
The strongest argument against is City’s form: they have won all of their last five matches, while PSG have conceded seven goals in five league games and are sixth in Ligue 1.
Our Prediction
Correct Score prediction: Manchester City 1-2 PSG. A scenario that fits both our main tip and our value tip: an away win with three goals.
⭐ Confidence Level: Low (2/5)
Bet Builder
| Selection | Market |
|---|---|
| 1 | PSG to win (Full time result) |
| 2 | Over 2.5 goals (Total goals) |
| Combined odds | 73/25 |
⭐ Confidence Level Bet Builder: Low (2/5)
This combination backs the same scenario as our prediction: PSG to win a game with at least three goals. At bet365 the combined price is 73/25, about the same as bet365’s two legs multiplied together (17/10 and 4/9, about 29/10).
Team News
Manchester City
Phil Foden is available again, because his three-match ban only covered domestic games. Erling Haaland is expected to be available after City gave him extra rest during the international break, while Antoine Semenyo (ankle) and Nico O’Reilly (muscle) are doubts. Off the pitch, an independent commission has found City guilty of 114 of the 115 Premier League charges against them; the club denies wrongdoing and has appealed, and no punishment has been decided.
Predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guéhi, Gvardiol; Fernández, Anderson; Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku; Haaland
Predicted lineups are based on the latest news, current team form, injuries and suspensions, and players’ latest form.
PSG
Senny Mayulu is out for about a month with a thigh injury picked up with France’s under-21s, so he misses this game and the visit of Barcelona. Achraf Hakimi (thigh) and Warren Zaïre-Emery are being assessed, and Ferran Torres returned from Spain duty with an ankle problem, although the club is not worried about him. L’Équipe reports that Luis Enrique will take no risks with the two Champions League games in mind.
Predicted lineup (4-3-3): Safonov; Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia
