Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ousmane Dembele to Score | 13/8 @ Betway (38.1%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Brace yourselves, we could be in for another thriller on Wednesday and it’s impossible not to envisage another high-scoring contest between these two teams that are filled with such clinical attackers. As a result, going to the anytime scorer market, where Ousmane Dembele is the standout pick. The PSG forward scored twice in the first leg and is averaging 0.87 goals per 90 this season, with odds of 13/8 to score anytime making plenty of appeal. |
| Both teams to score in both halves | 4/1 @ Sky Bet (20.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | After nine goals last week, the goal lines on Wednesday are incredibly short, with both teams to score on show at just 1/4 and Over 3.5 goals on offer at just 1/2. With this in mind, 4/1 looks a sensational price for both teams to score in both halves. This bet landed last week and could do again with just four potential goals being scored in Germany. |

Bayern Munich vs PSG Bet Builder
How both teams go into Bayern Munich vs PSG
Paris Saint-Germain blew Bayern Munich away early last week on as Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia combined for seven goal involvements in a dominant first hour. Bayern hit back from 5-2 to 5-4 in four minutes to keep the tie alive and set up a chaotic second leg.
It has not been smooth for Bayern since, with a 3-3 draw against FC Heidenheim stretching their winless run and underlining their defensive issues. History is not on their side either, losing nine of ten European semi-finals after a first leg defeat, although their recent games have been full of goals with 22 scored across the last three.
Luis Enrique was quick to shut down any talk about poor defending after that nine-goal thriller, insisting it was a bad take despite Paris Saint-Germain edging the first leg. History backs PSG when they win the opener too, progressing in 36 of 43 European ties and 14 of 17 when it is by a single goal, while a rotated side were held 2-2 by FC Lorient in their last league outing.
Away from home PSG have been flying with six straight wins and five clean sheets, but this is a different test against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Bayern have won five of the last six meetings there and scored 15 goals, while both sides are closing in on the FC Barcelona record of 45 goals in a single UEFA Champions League season, with PSG on 43 and Bayern on 42.
Bayern Munich team news
Bayern Munich have no fresh injury issues heading into the second leg, with Vincent Kompany hopeful Lennart Karl can return, although Serge Gnabry and Raphael Guerreiro remain out; expect a full strength XI to return with Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz and Harry Kane all set to start, with Kane chasing a seventh straight UEFA Champions League goal.
PSG team news
Paris Saint-Germain have been hit by a big blow with Achraf Hakimi ruled out for a few weeks, so Warren Zaire-Emery is set to drop into defence and free up Fabian Ruiz to join Vitinha and Joao Neves in midfield, while Lucas Chevalier also misses out; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is one to watch as he sits on 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League, level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s club record.
Head-to-Head
Last 6 Meetings
The last six encounters have produced fireworks, with five wins for Bayern and one for PSG. Their most recent clash was a 5-4 goal-fest in Paris.
| Date | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| 28/04/26 | PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich | Champions League |
| 04/11/25 | PSG 1-2 Bayern Munich | Champions League |
| 26/11/24 | Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG | Champions League |
| 08/03/23 | Bayern Munich 2-0 PSG | Champions League |
Conclusion
This could turn into another shootout, with Bayern attacking from the off and Paris Saint-Germain looking to hit them on the break when they can get the ball back. Instead of backing BTTS at 1/4, take the 4/1 for BTTS in both halves. For those looking for a goalscorer selection, Ousmane Dembele to find the net at 13/8 looks potentially overpriced.
