Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich, a classic Champions League semi-final tie in the making.
Tuesday night’s first leg at the Parc des Princes promises footballing fireworks from the first whistle to the very last.
Interestingly, the two sides met in Paris during the League Phase, with Bayern winning 2-1 thanks to two goals from Luis Diaz – who was also sent off in the match.
But holders PSG cannot let history repeat itself here, because having to produce a comeback at the Allianz Arena is one of football’s toughest tasks.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich Preview
Recent results
PSG beat Liverpool 4-0 on aggregate in the quarters, winning each leg 2-0. And Luis Enrique’s side secured a 3-0 victory in the last two Ligue 1 matches vs Nantes and Angers, though did lose 2-1 at home to Lyon on April 19.
Bayern saw off Real Madrid in an epic quarter-final tie, goals from Harry Kane, Diaz and Michael Olise earning a 4-3 win at the Allianz – and a 6-4 aggregate victory. The Bavarians recently secured the Bundesliga title with a 4-2 success over Stuttgart, and amazingly came from 3-0 down to beat Mainz 4-3 on the weekend, despite already having the trophy in the bag!
Bayern also booked a spot in the DFB-Pokal final last Wednesday thanks to a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. To say they are in form is something of an understatement…
Head-to-head record
After winning 2-1 in Paris earlier in the campaign, Bayern have now won each of their last five games against PSG. The Ligue 1 side scored just one goal in that time as well, a pretty damning statistic.
Team news
Midfield metronome Vitinha is a doubt for PSG, though Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes are expected to feature. Fabian Ruiz is also in line to start after playing 45 crucial minutes vs Angers.
Serge Gnabry, Tom Bischof and Sven Ulreich are the injury absentees for Bayern, though Lennart Karl could return to the squad.
Annoyingly for the visiting side, manager Vincent Kompany is serving a suspension and is therefore unable to dictate proceedings from the touchline.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Ousmane Dembele @ 2.25
Ballon d’Or winner Dembele scored twice in the 2-0 second-leg win vs Liverpool at Anfield, and can be a real thorn in Bayern’s side here. If the visitors continue with their exciting, attack-minded brand of football, Dembele should have plenty of space to utilise his speed, skill and guile.
Anytime goalscorer – Harry Kane @ 2.10
Perhaps the best striker (or player) in world football right now, backing Kane to score in any match feels like a no-brainer. The England captain has 12 goals in 11 Champions League games this season, and netted in eight of his last nine Bundesliga appearances. The guy is just quite simply a goal-scoring machine!
Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 1.87
As we are backing two goalscorers in a match between two sides with ridiculous amounts of attacking talent, it feels only right to support this market too. Seven of Bayern’s last nine outings across all competitions saw over 3.5 goals scored, so it is rare that entertainment is not delivered when the Bavarians are about.
