One of the biggest clashes of Match Day 5 of the Champions League will see Bayern Munich welcome PSG on Tuesday. The Bavarians come into this game with six points, two ahead of PSG with both teams outside the top eight. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Two losses in their opening four Champions League matches is unlike Bayern Munich. In their last outing in this competition, they beat Benfica 1-0 at home. It has been a complete turnaround since their 4-1 loss to Barcelona, with the Germans winning six straight matches.
They warmed up for this game with a 3-0 win over Augsburg on Friday and will have time to rest before the French side arrives.
PSG will enter this game knowing odds are heavily stacked against them, having only managed four points from their opening four matches. Playing away from home doesn’t work in their favor either, having lost their last two away matches in the competition.
Also, Bayern rarely loses to French opposition. The Bavarians have 12 wins in the last 14 matches against French opposition, in that list there’s PSG too.
Coming from a 3-0 win against Toulouse though, PSG will be hoping to build on it for a good performance in Germany.
Bayern Munich rarely falter at home in the Champions League; both their wins came at home. While they have had issues in the competition, those came on the road. They also have a strong run against PSG and will be going into this game as favorites.
This will be helped on by PSG’s form away from home in the Champions League. The French side has lost both away games this season. Our prediction for Bayern Munich v PSG is for Bayern Munich to win.
