Game Preview
The injury issues are piling up for PSG ahead of this crucial first leg in the round of 16 in the Champions League. Christoph Galtier’s side will be without both Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for this clash in Paris on Tuesday, with both forwards also missing in their previous league outing, as PSG was easily beaten 3-1 by Monaco.
However, the Parisians boast an impressive home record against Bayern. In total, they have lost just once in the five previous meetings between the sides in the French capitals. But, that defeat was suffered in the previous meeting between the sides in April 2021.
This season hasn’t been without its struggles for Bayern Munich, but they have improved over their previous three, winning on all occasions. They also come into this game on the road sporting a perfect record in the Champions League this term, having scored 18 goals in six victories in the group stages.
Bayern last won seven on the bounce in the Champions League in the 2019-20 season, where they went on to win the competition after beating PSG in the final. However, Bayern has picked up just five wins from eleven previous meetings against the Parisians in the competition.
Prediction
This should be an exciting matchup in the Champions League this week, and both sides will feel as though the first leg will be pivotal to their chances of progression. However, the sheer number of injuries that PSG currently have to contend with means that we will be siding with Bayern on Tuesday.
