City are currently top of Group A, 1 point ahead of PSG. City’s only blemish in the group stages was a 2-0 away loss at PSG. They have won all of their other games comfortably by 3 goals or more and they were very solid in the League on the weekend, beating Everton 3-0 on Sunday.
PSG are undefeated, but have had two draws, one of which came at Leipzig last time out with the game finishing 2-2 and they also drew their opening game away at Club Brugge 1-1.

Manchester City 7/10
Draw 16/5
PSG 73/20
Suggested Bet: Matchbet + Totals, Over 2.5 goals and Manchester City win at 11/10
City are playing well and I think they can get the victory here which will ensure them a top spot in the group, but looking at recent PSG matches in both the League and the Champions League I think we could see goals on both sides.
LIVERPOOL v FC PORTO
Liverpool are assured of finishing top of Group B and they have a 100% record from their opening 4 games. Last time out they beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 at home, their other home game was a 3-2 win over AC Milan.
Porto are second in the group, 1 point ahead of Atletico Madrid and last time out they drew 1-1 away at AC Milan. Their other away match was a goalless draw at Atletico Madrid and when they hosted Liverpool in Matchday 2 they were thumped 5-1.
Both teams had big wins domestically on the weekend with Liverpool beating Arsenal 4-0 at home and Porto seeing off Feirense 5-1 at home.

Liverpool 19/20
Draw 28/10
FC Porto 27/10
Suggested Bet: Handicap, FC Porto (+1) at 8/10
For this bet to win we need FC Porto to avoid defeat and I think they have a fighting chance against a Liverpool side that have already done the necessary to top the group. This might see a slight easing off in the Liverpool intensity which could allow Porto in to either win or draw the game.
SPORTING LISBON v DORTMUND
This is the battle for second spot in Group C where Ajax are very much in control on 12 points with Dortmund and Sporting both on 6.
Sporting started with back-to-back defeats, but they have bounced back with big home and away wins over Besiktas.
Dortmund opened their campaign with back-to-back victories, but then lost both their 3rd and 4th round matches to Ajax, 4-0 on the road and 3-1 at home.
Both teams had victories in their respective domestic Leagues on the weekend.

Sporting Lisbon 37/20
Draw 51/20
Dortmund 29/20
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 31/20
I think we could be in for an exciting game with end-to-end action here, Sporting in particular need to the chase the victory knowing that Dortmund play Besiktas in their final match. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 13/20 which is a bit short for my liking and I will take the bigger price and look for 4 goals or more in the game.
