We have the returning leg of the Champions League Round of 16 which will be played in Munich, Germany, on Wednesday, March 8. The home team is defending a 1:0 lead, and here you can take a look at the best Bayern Munich vs. PSG betting pick.
Bayern Munich – PSG Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (8.3.2023)
Bayern Munich are welcoming this game in a better mood than PSG, who are facing a tough task in Germany and are in need of a win. It’s not going to be easy for the Parisians, but they did win three consecutive matches and are hoping they can surprise the hosts on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich vs. PSG: Initial Situation
Bayern are fighting for their 11th straight Bundesliga title, but this time around, they have strong competition. The Bavarians are currently leveled with Borussia Dortmund at the top of standings with 49 points, but they do have a better goal difference (+44 opposite Dortmund’s +19). PSG are eight points clear ahead of Marseille in Ligue 1. Christophe Galtier’s collected 63 points so far with a 66:25 goal difference, but now they will have to switch focus to this Champions League tilt and try to beat the favored Germans.
Bayern Munich Stats & Form
Bayern suffered just one defeat in 23 matches in all competitions (W18, D 4), and that loss came to Borussia Monchengladbach after the Bavarians secured a 1:0 win in Paris over PSG. Still, Bayern managed to bounce back with a pair of victories against Union Berlin and Stuttgart to reclaim their top spot in Bundesliga.
Perhaps surprisingly, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is Bayern’s top scorer this season with 16 goals. Bayern have five individuals with 11+ goals: Jamal Musiala (15), Leroy Sané (12), Serge Gnabry (11), and Sadio Mane (11). Musiala is the team’s top assist-maker with 12, while Thomas Müller and Gnabry have 11 dishes apiece. Julian Nagelsmann will be without Lucas Hernandez (knee), Noussair Mazraoui (heart), Manuel Neuer (broken leg), and Benjamin Pavard (suspension).
PSG Stats & Form
PSG went through their worst period of the season during which they suffered three straight losses. However, the Saints managed to respond with three wins in a row, in which they scored 11 and allowed five goals.
PSG are relying on their fantastic attacking trio to bring them the Champions League success. Kylian Mbappé has an outstanding record in 30 goals in 30 games in all competitions, while he is also the team’s third-best assist producer with eight. Lionel Messi bagged 18 goals with 16 dishes, and Neymar has 18 goals and 17 assists. However, the Brazilian forward will not be ready to face Bayern on Wednesday as he is struggling with an ankle injury. Achraf Hakimi (thigh), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles), and Renato Sanches (thigh) are also out.
Bayern Munich – PSG: Head-to-Head
These teams have a history since 1994 and their first-ever H2H. Thus far, each team recorded six victories without a single draw in the process! Bayern won the last two H2H duels with identical 1:0 result. In Munich, Bayern won three and lost two matches against PSG.
Bayern Munich – PSG Odds
Bayern are favored by the bookies, and if you think the Bavarians will beat PSG once again, you can back them at 1.83 odds (10bet). A draw is at 3.80 (bet365) and PSG to win can be found at 4.40 with Unibet. Over 2.5 goals is a popular bet, but the odds are rather low (1.47 at Unibet), while Under 2.5 goals is 2.75 with BetVictor.
While Bayern are more of a machine and it is no matter if they miss some players, they will always play as a team. PSG, on the other hand, is extremely reliant on Mbappe-Messi-Neymar thrilling, and considering the Brazilian is unavailable, it’s going to be tricky for the Parisians to get a win in Munich. They need at least a goal and to keep a clean sheet on the other end, which is easier said than done as Bayern found the back of the net in every match at Allianz Arena this season. I don’t think PSG can match Bayern and that’s why I am backing the hosts to get another victory at 1.83 odds (10bet).
