PSG vs. Bayern Munich Odds

PSG DrawBayern Munich
+220+310+100

PSG’s Last Step

Many experts claim that PSG doesn’t have enough experience to win this match. We believe quite the opposite. Kylian Mbappe played at and won the World Cup, Neymar won the Champions League, Di Maria, too. This is just something that crosses our mind in one second, and for sure, there are plenty of players in Tuchel’s team who had numerous important matches in their careers. 

Regarding the Saints’ performances, we don’t know if you ever noticed that PSG’s defense works perfectly these days. In nine events since they restored activities, Keylor Navas conceded just one goal and that was the one against Atalanta. 

On the other side, their attack showed class in the last 15 minutes of the game against the Italians and the first 45 minutes vs. Red Bull. They are still missing quite a lot of good chances, but with Mbappe 100% fit, and Neymar focused, we might see an explosion on Sunday night.

The only one who isn’t playing for PSG is Lurzawa, but he didn’t appear on the field for a long time. 

Bayern’s Domination Needs Confirmation

Who would remember that Bayern averaged 4.2 goals per match in the UCL this year and that they broke all the records when talking about the efficiency? If the Germans win tomorrow’s game every football fan is going to know that, but if they don’t, nobody will care. 

At the moment, Hansi Flick’s side has 29 straight wins, but that too, won’t be remembered if they fail to lift the trophy. Lewandowski and the boys up front were ruthless in recent times, scoring three or more times in six of the latest seven matches they participated in. The most impressive was the one against Barca, of course.

The only thing that troubles the Germans is that Jerome Boateng won’t play due to his injury.

Head to Head Matches

These two sides met only in the Champions League, and so far, there have been 8 games, all in this century. PSG posted five wins, and Bayern three. Once clashing in 2017, which was the last time, PSG won in France 3-0, and Bayern in Germany, 3-2. 

Prediction

Anything below four goals would be a big surprise. You all saw how these teams play, and how they handle opponents. The attack is the primary and only style of play they have; therefore, our suggestion is over 3.5 goals. Odds on this pick are at +100.
