Bayern Munich take on the visitors PSG in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 26th at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich, known for their dominance domestically, faced unexpected challenges in Europe last season. The "Rekordmeister" narrowly secured the Bundesliga title in 2023 thanks to Dortmund's last-round collapse. Despite acquiring star striker Harry Kane, Bayern failed to win silverware in the 2023/24 season, leaving Kane still without a trophy in his illustrious career. Under new coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern has regained stability and currently leads the Bundesliga. Their Champions League campaign, however, has been mixed: an emphatic 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb was followed by a loss to Unai Emery's Aston Villa and a heavy defeat at Barcelona. A narrow 1-0 win against Benfica, thanks to Jamal Musiala's goal, has kept their hopes alive, but consistency is needed. Bayern's defensive line will need to watch out for PSG’s pace on the counterattack, while PSG must address their vulnerability in central midfield to avoid being overrun by Bayern's pressing game.

PSG, under Luis Enrique, is navigating a transitional phase after parting ways with star players like Neymar, Messi, and Sergio Ramos. Despite winning all domestic trophies last season and reaching the Champions League semifinals, this campaign has posed new challenges, especially after Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid. The "Parisians" have brought in a host of young talents and are cruising in Ligue 1 without much resistance. However, their Champions League form is shaky: after a late, fortunate win against Girona, PSG managed only a draw with PSV and suffered defeats to Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, each scoring twice against them.
These teams are familiar foes in European competition, with Bayern edging ahead in their rivalry with a 7-6 win record. Notable clashes include the 2020 final, where Kingsley Coman’s goal secured the title for Bayern. Bayern’s home advantage and PSG’s inconsistency in Europe make the German side favorites for this clash. With Harry Kane in strong form and Bayern’s depth in attack, they should have enough firepower to overcome PSG. Prediction: For bettors, a Bayern victory with a -1 handicap offers good value.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win.
