Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain Betting Preview
Bayern Munich
The Reds took a giant stride toward qualification for the last eight of the Champions League a fortnight ago, as they landed a 1-0 away win in Paris. Kingsley Coman has been Bayern’s lucky charm in crucial fixtures against the Parisians, with the winger netting the winner at the Parc des Princes, just as he did in the 2020 Champions League final.
Bayern achieved a perfect campaign when capturing glory in that season, and they also boast a 100% record in the competition this term after topping the Champions League standings before Christmas. The Bayern Munich standings highlighted that they won all six matches that they played in Group C, including home and away victories against Inter Milan and Barcelona.
The German champions also boast a formidable record in the knockout stage after winning the first leg. They have been eliminated on just two occasions from 22 previous encounters, with the latest of those coming over ten years ago at the hands of Inter Milan in 2011. Bayern’s recent record against PSG is also strong, as they have landed three wins from their previous four encounters at the Allianz Arena.
Paris Saint-Germain
Following the addition of Lionel Messi, PSG made it very clear that they were aiming to get their hands on the Champions League title finally. However, they come into this second leg starring down the barrel of a second straight exit at the round of 16 stage since the signing of the Argentinean.
Many Paris Saint-Germain predictions labeled them as the clear front-runners at the beginning of the campaign, but the trends certainly don’t favor them to edge past Bayern this week.
PSG has picked up just two wins from their previous seven encounters with Bayern, losing on five separate occasions. The defeat in the opening leg was just the sixth time that they have lost in the first meeting between sides in the knockout stages of the Champions League. However, they have progressed on just one occasion from the position that they find themselves in this week.
One area of optimism will come from the fact that PSG were 3-2 winners on their most recent trip to the Allianz Arena in 2021. But, the fact that the Parisians will be missing Neymar could be a huge concern this week.
Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain Betting Picks
There is certainly value in the Bayern Munich vs PSG odds for those siding with the traveling side this week. However, after studying all the trends, we would be incredibly surprised to see the Bavarian giants let this advantage slip at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
We expect Bayern to secure their spot in the last eight with a victory, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see both UCL teams find the net in 90 minutes, as PSG chases the goals that could force extra time.
- Pick: Bayern Munich & Both Teams To Score (+187)
