Key Players to watch in Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain
Harry Kane
Harry Kane is one of the greatest strikers of his generation and continues to prove so. He became the fastest-ever player to score 50 Bundesliga goals, doing so in 43 games. He reached the achievement with a hat-trick against Augsburg on November 22.
Kane has already scored 20 goals and provided nine goals in 17 games across competitions this season. He’s contributed five goals and one assist in four Champions League games this season. He sits joint-second in the UCL goalscoring charts this season and will be keen to add to his tally against PSG.
Ousmane Dembele
With the Parisians moving away from superstars like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar and moving to a younger recruitment model, Ousmane Dembele is now one of the senior players in the team. However, he has struggled to make a consistent impact for the side so far.
Dembele has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 14 games across competitions this season. He’s provided just one assist in three Champions League appearances and will be eager to change that against Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
After their 4-1 defeat against Barcelona, Bayern Munich have won their next six games across competitions without even conceding a single goal. They have scored 17 goals in those matches and look in supreme form.
They beat Augsburg 3-0 at home in their last game on Friday, November 22 in the Bundesliga fixture. They sit atop the league table and will be eager to get back into the top 8 in the Champions League as well.
PSG, meanwhile, have just one defeat in their last eight games across competitions with five wins and two draws. However, one of those draws and the only loss have come in the Champions League. They beat Toulouse 3-0 at home in their last game in Ligue 1 and sit atop the table.
Both sides need the three points but considering Bayern Munich’s quality, form, and home advantage, they are likely to be the side that accomplishes the feat.
Predicted Score: 3-1
