PSG vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
In this clash between two group stage leaders, I expect a highly entertaining game. Both teams boast strong attacking lines and impressive goal-scoring records. In their last six home matches in the Champions League, PSG failed to score only against Liverpool, netting a total of 20 goals in the other five encounters. Moreover, in the current edition of this European competition, the Parisians lead in goals scored (13).
Bayern Munich, even away from home, does not struggle to break down opponents' defenses and scores regularly. In their last seven away Champions League matches, the club's players failed to score only once, and in five of those games, the Munich side scored at least two goals. At the same time, the team's defense is not always reliable: in their last 11 matches in this competition, Bayern kept a clean sheet only once, conceding at least two goals in five of those encounters.
I anticipate a high-scoring affair in this match, and my prediction: Total over 3.5 goals
