On a huge night of Champions League action, headlined by the visit of Real Madrid to Anfield after Arsenal's trip to Prague, we have another stellar encounter as reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain take on six-time winners Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.
Paris Saint-Germain sit at the top of Ligue 1 but Luis Enrique's side have been far from convincing domestically this season, with a genuine title race developing in France, albeit they did edge past Nice 1-0 in the French capital city at the weekend.
In contrast, a rotated Bayern Munich side still hammered Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at the Allianz Arena at the weekend, meaning Vincent Kompany’s Bavarians have now won all 15 matches across all competitions so far this season featuring 22 goals in 15 matches for the ever-prolific Harry Kane.
Can Bayern maintain their perfect run or will the champions flex their muscles? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with betting tips and predictions for PSG vs. Bayern, as well as latest odds including a 50/1 offer for new customers on Paddy Power.
PSG vs. Bayern Munich preview: Who will win?
Luis Enrique and his PSG side are still dealing with a lack of a pre-season due to their involvement in both the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
That means we may not see their best until the second-half of the season, like last year, which potentially opens the door for Bayern to spring an upset at the Parc des Princes.
Yet, the ironic susceptibility of a Kompany side defensively, as well as the fact that the Parisians have still shown their quality with a defeat of Barcelona in this competition this season, makes this one so hard to call. We find it hard to separate the top two in the Champions League Group Stage table.

PSG vs. Bayern Munich Score Prediction
In their three UEFA Champions League group stage games, PSG have scored 13 goals, whilst Bayern have scored 12 (table topping xG of 11.54). However, PSG are the second biggest xG overperformers in the competition after Dortmund, who also have 12 goals to their name.
PSG have been tested defensively and have shown fallibilities against Barcelona and Leverkusen, whilst Bayern are yet to really be tested – until this, and it should be a high-scoring affair in Paris.

PSG Team News
- PSG have been dealing with plenty of frustrating injuries throughout the season and they have a fresh one with Desire Doue suffering a hamstring injury last week.
- Ukraine international centre-back Illya Zabarnyi was sent off in their 7-2 victory in Germany against Leverkusen and so he is missing through suspension here.
- Luis Enrique tends to rotate more heavily in Ligue 1 to leave the strongest XI available for this tournament and that should therefore see the return of their key midfield trio of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Joao Neves playing together.
Bayern Munich Team News
- Harry Kane was rested against Leverkusen at the weekend but the England captain should come back into the side, perhaps even playing in the ‘number 10’ role behind Nicolas Jackson.
- Youngster Lennart Karl has been very impressive and he will also be vying for a starting spot in between both Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry, who will be the wingers.
- They remain without Jamal Musiala, as well as versatile defender Hiroki Ito and Canada international full-back Alphonso Davies.
