Paris Saint-Germain head to Munich for the second leg of their semifinal defending a narrow 5-4 lead from an incredible first meeting. That match was the highest-scoring semifinal leg in the competition’s history, and with both managers promising more of the same, the return fixture at the Allianz Arena is expected to be just as chaotic. Both teams come into this clash following high-scoring domestic draws over the weekend, further highlighting their current defensive vulnerabilities.

For Bayern Munich, the objective is to overturn the one-goal deficit and secure a place in the Budapest final. Vincent Kompany has transformed the German champions into the highest-scoring team in Europe this season, netting 116 goals in just 32 league games. While their high-line defense leaves them open to the counter-attack, they have shown a remarkable ability to outscore opponents in high-pressure European nights.

Luis Enrique’s PSG side is on the brink of another final as they look to become the first team since Real Madrid to win back-to-back Champions League titles. Despite the absence of key defender Achraf Hakimi, the Parisians possess a devastating frontline led by Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Having already won at the Allianz Arena in last season’s final, the reigning champions will not be intimidated by the atmosphere in Munich.

What are the best picks for Bayern Munich vs PSG?

Back Bayern Munich to win

The Bavarians are traditionally dominant at home in Europe and possess the tactical depth to exploit a PSG defense missing its primary right-back. While PSG’s lead is dangerous, Bayern’s relentless attacking pressure often overwhelms teams in the second leg of knockout ties. Expect the home side to win on the night, even if the aggregate score remains close.

Harry Kane to score anytime

Kane remains the most clinical striker in the competition and scored from the penalty spot in the first leg. As the focal point of an attack that has been rested and rotated over the weekend, he will likely be the beneficiary of the service provided by Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise. Against a reshuffled PSG backline, Kane is well-positioned to add to his tally.

Over 3.5 total goals

Neither side has shown any inclination to sit back and defend. Bayern have conceded 16 goals in their last six matches, while PSG have also struggled for clean sheets recently. With both coaches publicly stating they will double down on their offensive philosophies, another high-scoring encounter is the most probable outcome.
