Prediction
Both sides have shown defensive frailties in recent weeks and with the vast array of attacking quality on display, this game promises goals and plenty of them. Bayern under Nagelsmann have never shied away from their attacking philosophy but against the pace and prowess of this PSG side, it may well come back to hurt them. PSG 3-1 Bayern Munich.
