ParisMatch Preview
Bayern Munich host PSG in the Champions League next week, with the duo having both already secured their place in the knockout phase of the competition thanks to their performances to date. Despite losing heavily in Paris earlier in the campaign, Bayern are expected to put up a much more competitive display this time around, with little separating the duo in the betting odds ahead of kick-off. However, the French giants will be looking to maintain their winning record in Group B, with Unai Emery’s men having scored a record 24 goals from their five matches to date. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the home side.
Bayern Munich Team News & Form
A second half goal from Corentin Tolisso handed Bayern a 2-1 win over Anderlecht last time around in Europe, their fourth win in five matches. Having taken over from Carlo Ancelotti, manager Jupp Heynckes has enjoyed an impressive start to his second spell in charge of Bayern, however their defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend came as a surprise. The reigning Bundesliga champions still sit three points clear at the top of the German standings however, with the form of Robert Lewandowski and James Rodriguez certainly helping the team significantly.
PSG Team News & Form
Two goals apiece from Neymar and Edison Cavani helped PSG to a thumping 7-1 win over Celtic last time around, with the French side having conceded just one goal on their way to five wins from five in Group B. Manager Emery may well choose to rest some of his star names for their trip to Germany, with his side having defeated reigning Ligue 1 champions Monaco away from home over the weekend. The likes of Thomas Meunier and Lucas Moura could earn rare stars for the visitors next week in Munich.
Head to Head
PSG’s 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in Paris earlier on in the season was the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides, meaning that few conclusions can be drawn in terms of their head-to-head record.
