Predictions & Statistics

Ahead of this knockout test, Bayern München arrive from a league campaign that has them 2 with 21 points after 8 matches. Their record of 7 wins, 0 draws, and 1 defeats with goals at 22:8 reflects very strong form and are on a winning streak. Much of their attacking weight falls on H. Kane (13 goals), L. Diaz (7 goals), M. Olise (5 goals), with creative support from M. Olise (7 assists), S. Gnabry (5 assists), L. Diaz (3 assists), while defensively they have appeared very solid. At home, their split of 4 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses fits a very strong split record. They are competing near the top and remain under pressure to hold that position. Stylistically they continue to show balanced attacking football. They are not at full strength, with C. Kiala, W. Mike, B. Ndiaye unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.

Paris Saint Germain enter this tie with a season profile built on 14 points from 8 matches, placing them 11 in their league. With 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses plus a goal ratio of 21:11, they bring poor form over their recent run into this tie. Going forward they rely on K. Kvaratskhelia (10 goals), O. Dembele (6 goals), Vitinha (6 goals), with creative support from A. Hakimi (7 assists), K. Kvaratskhelia (5 assists), D. Doue (4 assists), while defensively they have been very solid. Away from home, they have managed 2 wins, 1 draws, and 1 losses, which supports a fairly balanced split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. In tactical terms they still look like a side built around balanced attacking football. Although they are without A. Hakimi, Q. Ndjantou, L. Chevalier, that could reduce some of their usual creative supply in attacking areas.
