Notable statistics about Bayern Munich, PSG
Bayern and PSG received very high expectations when entering the tournament this year. They were predicted to have no difficulty occupying the top positions, when the 36 participating teams were grouped into a single group.
But that has not happened as the tournament approaches the 5th/8th matchday, with Bayern in 17th place and PSG down to 25th. The Ligue 1 champions are at risk of being eliminated if they do not improve their performance soon.
Therefore, both European giants have a lot of work to do, starting with the meeting at Allianz Arena in the early morning of November 27.
Bayern have won two and lost two of their four games. They started with a resounding 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb, but then lost 1-0 to Aston Villa and then a 4-1 thrashing by Barcelona. However, they did manage a hard-fought 1-0 win over Benfica in their previous game.
Vincent Kompany's Bayern have a clear style of play, still strong in possession. However, experienced goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has only saved 1 of the 6 shots on target he has faced in the Champions League this season (17%).
Neuer has conceded two more goals than his expected goals (2.9) based on the quality of shots on target Bayern have faced. If Neuer can find the form he has achieved throughout his career, Kompany's side will be back on track.
Harry Kane will be the main threat as usual. He added another record to his tally at the weekend with a hat-trick against Augsburg. The England striker has now scored 50 Bundesliga goals in just 43 games - a league record for half a century.
For the visitors, it has been a poor European campaign. PSG started the Champions League this season with an unconvincing win over Girona. But they have since picked up just one point from three games against PSG, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
Their previous defeat to Atletico was particularly disappointing. PSG had 22 shots to their opponents' four, and had 71.3% possession at the Parc des Princes, but still lost to their Spanish opponents.
PSG will be looking to Achraf Hakimi to create chances. The Moroccan has created more chances (37) than any other player in the Champions League since the start of last season, but has only one assist (for Vitinha against Barcelona in April 2024).
Head to head record Bayern Munich - PSG
Bayern Munich and PSG have met 13 times in the Champions League. Bayern have won all three of their last Champions League meetings with the Parisians, which have taken place between 2021 and 2023.
The only team to have won more consecutive games against PSG in European competition is Juventus, who beat them in six consecutive games between 1989 and 1997.
The last time they met was in the round of 16 of the 2022-23 Champions League, when Bayern won 1-0 in the first leg in Paris and 2-0 in the second leg in Munich.
The Bayern Munich vs PSG match will take place at 3:00 a.m. on November 27.
