PSG v Bayern Munich: Prediction, team news, lineups and odds | OneFootball

While Real Madrid v Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals was a genuine blockbuster, this last-four showdown could actually be an upgrade as it features the holders taking on the tournament favourites.

Bayern edged out Real 6-4 in the last eight, starting the job by winning the first leg 2-1 in Spain. Madrid led three times during the return in Germany before late goals from Luis Diaz and Michael Olise finally settled the tie in favour of the men from Munich.

It was a simpler qualification for PSG. Last year’s winners beat a lacklustre Liverpool 2-0 in Paris and then avoided any mishaps back at Anfield. The Reds made a push in the second half but PSG held them at bay and two late Ousmane Dembele goals wrapped up a convincing 4-0 triumph on aggregate.

PSG v Bayern Munich prediction

Bayern have won seven of their last nine head-to-heads against PSG, including the 2020 final when Kingsley Coman’s strike against his former team saw the Bavarians crowned champions for a sixth time.

In addition, Bayern have won each of their last seven UCL games so have been in fantastic form this season. They were crowned Bundesliga champions just over a week ago and are 15 points clear after winning 26 of their 31 matches.

There’s so much to like about holders PSG but Vitinha’s possible absence would be a blow and Bayern just seem unstoppable right now.

These two met in Paris in the league phase when Bayern ran out 2-1 winners. Luis Diaz scored both goals for Bayern before being sent off and he’s netted 25 times in a sensational debut season for Munich.

Diaz to score in a Bayern win – a repeat of that November clash – pays 9/2 and is the bet.

Harry Kane has found the net in each of his last five Champions League games so, if keeping it simple, the England striker is well worth a punt at 11/10 to score anytime. He has a staggering 53 goals to his name this season.
