Bayern Munich to Win
Bayern Munich claimed the spoils when they visited PSG for the Round of 16 first leg in France, though their margin of victory should have been greater than 1-0 after a fine performance in the French capital. Bayern mustered 18 attempts to the Parisians’ nine on the evening and the dominance they displayed in the first leg suggests the Bavarians are worthy favourites to win again in the teams’ second encounter. With home advantage heightening their chances, our first Bayern Munich vs PSG prediction forecasts another win for the German champions.
Over 2.5 Goals
Most observers were surprised when the net rattled just once in the first-leg between PSG and Bayern Munich in Paris, however, we’re tipping the goals to flow more readily in the closing fixture between the giants. Five of PSG’s last six away assignments in the Champions League have featured over 2.5 goals and more thrills and spills could be on the cards when the Ligue 1 outfit chase parity in Germany. There will be so much attacking talent on show at the Allianz Arena, so expect fireworks.

Bayern Munich vs PSG Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Bayern Munich vs PSG lineups and team news for Wednesday’s Champions League bout below.
Bayern Munich
Lucas Hernandez remains a long-term absentee for Bayern Munich, though Alphonso Davies is a more than able replacement at left-back and the Canadian should add plenty of thrust down the flank this week. First-choice keeper Manuel Neuer is still watching on from the stands and January recruit Jann Sommer will start between the sticks in his absence.
With Noussair Mazraoui injured and Benjamin Pavard suspended, Bayern have issues at right-back, though another winter signing, Joao Cancelo, can fill in there without any problems, again highlighting the incredible squad depth at the Bavarians' disposal.
Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Jamal Musiala should complete a high-class axis centrally this week, while Sadio Mane is in contention to start for the first time following his comeback from injury. The Senegalese attacker's inclusion would be a major boost to Bayern's chances.
Predicted Lineup for Bayern Munich: Sommer – Cancelo, Upamecano, de Ligt, Davies – Kimmich, Goretska, Musiala – Mane, Coman, Muller
PSG
PSG's biggest piece of team news revolves around Brazilian superstar Neymar and the 31-year-old has been officially ruled out of this week's crucial second leg. Defenders Presnel Kimpembe and Achraf Hakimi join Neymar on the sidelines, while midfielder Renato Sanches is also out of action.
There are suggestions that PSG could switch to a back three in Munich on Wednesday, and that scenario could involve Danio Pereira dropping back to partner Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos.
Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz will hope to feature either side of Marco Verratti in midfield, while Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are set to form a fearsome-looking twosome in the final third.
Predicted Lineup for PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Ramos, Mendes – Verratti, Ruiz, Pereira, Vitinha – Messi, Mabppe
Players to Watch
Kingsley Coman
Born in Paris, Kingsley Coman played in the youth ranks at PSG in the early parts of his career and the winger scored the winning goal when he returned to his roots for the Round of 16 first leg in February. Coman has the skills to trouble the Paris St. Germain defence again in the second-leg and the 26-year-old could shine again.
Jamal Musiala
Technically talented youngster Jamal Musiala is already a key component of Julian Nagelsmann’s formidable winning machine at just 20 years old, and the attacking midfielder will attempt to pull the strings from between the lines again this evening. Musiala has yet to score a Champions League goal this season, though he does have two assists under his belt.
Dayot Upamecano
French centre-half Dayot Upamecano was a rock at the back for Bayern in their 1-0 win in Paris last month and the 24-year-old has the defensive nous to keep PSG’s attackers under wraps again in Munich today. Upamecano has featured in all of Bayern’s Champions League fixtures since August, starting six times and appearing once as a substitute.
Marco Verratti
A tenacious tackler and exceptional passer, Marco Verratti is widely considered to be one of the best players in the world in his position and the holding midfielder will be tasked with dictating play for PSG in Germany later today. Verratti is closing in on 100 Champions League appearances for PSG and his top-level knowhow should be vital in this evening’s second leg.
Kylian Mbappe
Global superstar Kylian Mbappe was only fit enough to take a place on the bench in last month’s first-leg tussle, however, the explosive attacker is certain to start in the crucial closing encounter. Mbappe has scored an insane 40 goals in 60 Champions League matches during his career, though he still has a long way to go to catch the competition’s all-time leading marksman, Cristiano Ronaldo (141).
