Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs FC Bayern Munich Prediction 14 February 2023

This coming Tuesday, Paris will host the central match of the Champions League round of 16, in which PSG will face off against Bayern.

In the group stage of the Champions League, PSG scored an impressive 14 points in the confrontations with Benfica, Juventus and Maccabi Haifa, but at the last moment gave the lead to the Portuguese. Now the Parisians are far from their optimal conditions. This can be seen from the difficult 2-1 win over Toulouse and the 1-2 fiasco against Marseille, after which Galtier's men lost their chances of success in the French Cup.

Bayern started the second part of the season with three consecutive draws against RB Leipzig, Cologne and Eintracht before defeating Mainz 4-0 in the German Cup and Wolfsburg 4-2 in the Bundesliga. As for the Champions League, there, Die Roten crushed Inter, Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen, having the maximum possible six victories.

In this pair, bookmakers believe in Bayern, which perform in European competitions with much higher motivation than in the league. Both teams have impressive attacking potential, but we don't think they will take much risks in the first round of their duel - the price of a mistake is too high.
