Two teams fighting for a spot in the play-offs of the Champions League clash at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, as Paris Saint-Germain welcome Manchester City.
Both teams were expected to compete for a top-eight finish, securing a spot in the last-16 stage. However, they are now uncertain if they will even make it to the play-offs.
As they head into the penultimate round of fixtures in the League Phase, Manchester City are in 22nd place in the table with eight points, three places ahead of PSG with just one point difference.
Team news
PSG will be without new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as he is not eligible for this stage of the competition with the French team. Ibrahim Mbaye is also sidelined.
Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi have been out due to injuries throughout January and will be assessed closer to the game, while Ousmane Dembele is expected to return after missing the last two matches due to illness.
Manchester City have concerns over Nathan Ake, who missed the weekend's win against Ipswich due to a minor muscle problem. John Stones is likely to miss out, along with Rodri and Oscar Bobb.
The stats
PSG have won their last eight games in all competitions, with one of those victories coming from a penalty shootout against Lens in the Coupe de France.
Les Parisiens have been unbeaten since their 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich on Matchday Five, going on a 10-game streak that has seen them go nine points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
Manchester City dominated Ipswich 6-0 in the Premier League on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions.
City amassed seven points from their first three Champions League matches, but have only managed to secure one point from the following three European games.
Prediction
This match is crucial for both teams with just one round of fixtures remaining in the League Phase after this game. A defeat for either side would diminish their chances of making it to the play-offs.
PSG have been in a good form in recent months, but Manchester City have also shown positive performances. It's difficult to predict a winner between two evenly matched teams.
This game may turn out to be an offensive one, as both teams have struggled defensively this season. City's forward, Erling Haaland, seems likely to score, having netted four goals in his last four games after a four-game goal drought, including a goal against Ipswich on Sunday.
Against a PSG defense that has kept just one clean sheet in their last seven matches, Haaland appears to have a good chance of scoring his 23rd goal of the season.
