PSG vs. Bayern Munich Pick

PSG vs. Bayern Munich Over 2.5 Goals (-189 via PointsBet) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s hard to picture these two teams playing defensively. PSG and Bayern are both known for their strong offensive abilities and struggle in defense. Both teams are eager to advance to the next round. The managers, Galtier and Nagelsmann, are preparing for one of the most important games of their careers. The pressure is immense, but both teams are expected to give it their all in order to control the game rather than just defend against their opponents’ attacks.

Joao Cancelo and Yann Sommer, new recruits for Bayern, are set to make their Champions League debut in the team’s shirt. However, Sadio Mane, Manuel Neuer, and Lucas Hernandez will not be playing. Neuer and Hernandez are recovering from long-term injuries and are not expected to return until the end of the season. Messi and Mbappe from PSG are uncertain for the match but could still be included in the squad. At least one of them is likely to start against Bayern on Tuesday night.

PSG and Bayern faced off in the quarterfinals of the 2020-21 Champions League, after meeting in the final the previous year. Bayern emerged victorious in the 2020 final, but were defeated on away goals in the following season, granting PSG a spot in the semifinals. Both teams remain undefeated in the current Champions League campaign, with Bayern winning all six of their group stage matches.
