Bayern Munich vs PSG Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The reigning French champions eye penetrating into the Top 24 with a win over the German giants.
In the heart of Munich, centuries of Bavarian tradition blend seamlessly with modern sophistication. From the iconic Marienplatz to the world-renowned beer gardens serving pretzels and Weissbier, the Matchweek 5 of the UEFA Champions League group fixtures takes us to the Allianz Arena in Munich where Bayern Munich are set to lock horns against PSG.
Bayern Munich currently are dominating the Bundesliga, sitting atop the table as the only unbeaten team with an impressive record of 9 wins and 2 draws. However, their Champions League campaign has been less stellar, where they find themselves in 17th place in the combined points table with 2 wins and 2 losses.
The Bavarian giants face a crucial clash against Paris Saint-Germain in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter. A victory against the reigning French champions would propel Bayern into the top eight, securing direct qualification to the next round. The Allianz Arena, known for its electrifying atmosphere, will provide a formidable home advantage as Bayern aim to reignite their European ambitions.
Paris Saint-Germainās performances in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League paint a tale of two contrasting campaigns. Domestically, they are in scintillating form, perched at the top of the table with an unbeaten record of 10 wins and 2 draws, asserting their dominance as one of Franceās finest.
However, their European journey have been far from ideal. With only one win and one draw in four group-stage matches, PSG find themselves languishing outside the top 24 in the combined points table. This precarious position leaves them on the brink of elimination, with their most recent setback being a defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Players to watch out for:
Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich):
Alphonso Davies, the 24-year-old Ghana-born Canadian left-back and winger for Bayern Munich, has risen to global prominence as one of footballās most dynamic talents. His journey began with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, where his exceptional performances earned him a move to Bayern Munich during the 2018-19 season.
Initially joining the reserves, Davies quickly showcased his extraordinary pace and technical ability, leading to his promotion to the senior team in 2019. Since then, he has made 145 appearances for the club, contributing 8 goals and numerous assists.
On the international stage, Davies has been a trailblazer for Canada, earning 56 caps and becoming a symbol of inspiration for aspiring footballers. His off-pitch contributions are equally commendable, as he serves as one of the first Canadian footballers to become a UNHCR ambassador, advocating for refugees worldwide.
Achraf Hakimi (PSG)
Achraf Hakimi, the 26-year-old dynamic Moroccan right-back for Paris Saint-Germain, has established himself as one of the finest in his position. Born in Madrid, Hakimi began his career with Real Madridās reserve team, showcasing immense potential early on. His loan stint at Borussia Dortmund solidified his reputation, thanks to his electrifying pace and attacking prowess. Following a successful season with Inter Milan, where he played a pivotal role in their Serie A triumph, he made the high-profile move to PSG in 2021.
Since then, he has been a mainstay for the Parisians, nearing a century of appearances. On the international stage, Hakimi has been equally instrumental, earning 82 caps for Morocco and shining brightly during their historic 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign, where they became the first African team to reach the semi-finals.
