Your support makes all the difference.Paris Saint-Germain will look to continue their impressive home form when they welcome Bayern Munich to the Parc de Princes in the Champions League round of 16 tonight.
Christophe Galtier’s side are unbeaten in their last 40 games at home in all competitions with their last defeat coming in April 2021 against Manchester City in the Champions League.
PSG’s recent away form has been less than impressive, though, with the side losing their last two games against Marseille and Monaco in the Coupe de France round of 16 and Ligue 1.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, come into this encounter fresh off a 3-0 home win against Bochum, with Julian Nagelsmann’s side one point clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is PSG v Bayern Munich?
The Champions League first leg will kick off at 8pm GMT on Tuesday 14 February.
How can I watch it?
PSG v Bayern will be shown live on BT Sport 2, with coverage starting from 7:15pm.
Confirmed line-ups
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Ramos, Mendes; Danilo, Verratti; Soler, Zaire-Emery; Neymar, Messi
Bayern: Sommer; Pavard, De Ligt, Upamecano, Cancelo; Goretzka, Kimmich, Musiala; Coman, Choupo-Moting, Sane
Odds
PSG: 8/5
Draw: 13/5
Bayern Munich: 6/4
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.
