PSG train ahead of hosting Bayern Munich in UCL

Bayern Munich travel to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 tonight as the German side look to continue their perfect record in the competition so far.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side won all six of their Group C fixtures and beat PSG 1-0 in the Champions League final in 2020.

PSG came second in Group H to Benfica by nature of fewer goals scored having both finished on 14 points.

PSG came out on top the last time these sides met, winning on away goals after a 3-3 draw in the Champions League quarter-finals two seasons ago.

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.
