After a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona at the end of October, Bayern Munich have gone through a series of 6 consecutive wins. Coach Vincent Kompany and his team are leading the Bundesliga rankings, 6 points more than the team behind.
The Bavarians have been performing well domestically (9 wins, 2 draws), but have had problems in the Champions League. After defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona, Bayern have dropped to 17th place in the table with 6 points.
Hosting PSG, the German representative can be confident as they have won 12 out of 18 matches against the Ligue 1 visitors, and have won 22 out of their last 27 home matches in the Champions League.
In the past, PSG lost to Bayern both at home and away in the round of 16 of the 2022-2023 Champions League, and lost the final in the 2019-2020 season.
PSG are also not performing well in the continental arena, although Luis Enrique's team still dominates Ligue 1. After defeats to Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, and a draw with PSV Eindhoven, the French giants are currently 25th in the Champions League table with just 4 points.
The Parisians have also won just 15 of their last 37 European games (losing 14), so beating Bayern at the Allianz Arena will be a huge challenge.
Expected lineup
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Dembele, Asensio, Barcola
