Preview: PSG vs Bayern Munich prediction, odds, where to watch, time | UEFA Champions League 2025-26 semi-final first leg

The Bavarians have won four of their last five fixtures against the Parisians.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are all set to lock horns with Bayern Munich for their first-leg semifinal contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This high-stakes contest will also be an intense one, taking place at the Parc des Princes.

The Luis Enrique-led side completely outplayed Liverpool in their previous round of the UCL. They performed really well across both legs to secure a spot in the semifinal. The Parisians will be at home for their next one and will be eager to use it to their advantage.

PSG have secured back-to-back wins in their last two league games as well and will be looking to extend their winning run. The upcoming challenge against the German giants is going to be a tough one for them. Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to give their all here.

Vincent Kompany’s men continue to perform well across all competitions. They knocked out European giants Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal. It was a top performance by them, and they will be looking to come up with a strong fight against PSG now.

Although Bayern Munich will be the visiting team, their confidence levels will be on the positive side. They are surely going to put up a strong fight against the hosts, although it is not going to be an easy outing for them either.

Players to Watch

Ousmane Dembélé (PSG)

In his previous UCL encounter, Ousmane Dembélé scored a sensational brace and will be looking to help his side in the attacking front once again. A top performance by the Frenchman will surely help Paris Saint-Germain gain some advantage. The 28-year-old has five goal contributions in the ongoing campaign of the European competition.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

The Englishman cannot stop scoring for Bayern Munich. In his last five matches for his club, he has six goal contributions and will be looking to add more to his tally. Harry Kane has found the net 12 times in his 11 Champions League appearances this season.

Leading the attack from the front, he will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
