PSG and Man City will certainly try hard to avoid sharing points, because each of them really needs it. A win will give them a path to the play-off round, while a loss will knock them out of the Champions League early. On paper, even though Man City are performing worse than PSG at the moment, personally I feel that victory tends to be on their side. Of course I could be wrong, because the final result of the match could be the opposite. The managerial qualities of Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique certainly need not be doubted, but their strategy can only work optimally if all key players are available. This match will not take place until the end of January, which means both teams have the opportunity to rediscover their best form

A draw would be catastrophic for PSG and it would be just fine for Manchester City because they keep the distance to PSG and they have their last game in their home stadium. I think a draw would probably give them a spot in the play-off round since Stuttgart and PSG are playing against each other on the last match day and Dinamo Zagreb plays against Arsenal and AC Milan. So yes Manchester City wouldn't like it, but they would be ok with a draw. PSG would be in huge trouble then as I don't think the game away from home against Stuttgart will be easy as it is do or die for Stuttgart in that case they will play on a higher level than usual with respect to physical intensity. That is not going to be an enjoyable game for PSG as Stuttgart will go all out or all in actually.
