The UEFA Champions League is back with another round of games this week. On Tuesday, Bayern Munich faces Christophe Galtier’s PSG in a crucial match at the Parc des Princes.
Despite being at the top of the Bundesliga standings at the moment, Bayern Munich has been plagued by inconsistent play ever since the 2014 World Cup. In their previous match, the Bavarian giants defeated VfL Bochum with ease, 3-0, and they will attempt to repeat that feat this week.
PSG is currently atop the Ligue 1 standings as well, but they have also failed to live up to expectations so far this season. After suffering a shocking 3-1 defeat over the weekend at the hands of AS Monaco, the Parisians will need to put in a lot of effort in this game to get back on track.
PSG vs Bayern Match Details :
- Paris Saint-Germain – Bayern Munich
- Champions League Europe
- Date – 14/02/2023
- Starting time – 20:00 UTC

PSG vs Bayern Prediction :
PSG cannot afford to put on a subpar performance this week because they have been dishonest thus far this season. Lionel Messi is still a question for this match after suffering a hamstring injury during the match against AS Monaco.
Despite having a great team, Bayern Munich has been surprisingly ineffective since the beginning of the year. However, Bayern Munich appears to have the better team going into this game, with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both struggling with their fitness.
Prediction: PSG 1-3 Bayern Munich
PSG vs Bayern Head to head :
In the UEFA Champions League, PSG has a slight advantage over Bayern Munich because they have won six of the 11 games between the two teams, while Bayern Munich has won five. In the UEFA Champions League, PSG has only lost one of their five home games against Bayern Munich, which took place in April 2021.
The best win percentage of any team that has played more than 10 games against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League is PSG’s six wins from their 11 games against the Bavarians. This season, Bayern Munich has scored 18 goals while winning all six of their UEFA Champions League matches. Only one of PSG’s last 32 UEFA Champions League games has resulted in a goal.
PSG vs Bayern Team news :
Galtier has stated that Lionel Messi will be fit to play against Bayern on Tuesday, and Messi could be joined by Marco Verratti, who is also expected to return from injury. Messi missed the loss to Monaco because of a hamstring issue. After missing the previous three games due to a thigh injury, Kylian Mbappe has resumed training, but he is only expected to be fit enough to play among the substitutes.
PSG will be hoping that Fabian Ruiz can overcome a stomach virus that kept him out of the Monaco defeat and take his place in the starting lineup while Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele are out. As Galtier focused on Tuesday’s Champions League match, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Sergio Ramos were benched for Saturday’s game. However, the trio is expected to join Marquinhos in the backline against Bayern.
