• Date: 08/03/2023
• Competition: Champions League
• KO: 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Allianz Arena (München)

Having emerged with a narrow 1:0 from their first-leg CL round of sixteen tie in Paris, Bayern Munich now plays host to PSG at the Allianz Arena.

Deserved winners against a PSG side bereft of attacking ideas, Bayern now finds themselves as massive favourites to progress to the quarter-finals for the fourth successive season.

Bayern vs PSG Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Now just 1.16 odds to qualify at the time of writing, Bayern looks near certs to emerge from this tie with the Bavarians boasting such a strong home record in this competition with just one loss in their previous 17 home UCL matches since 2019. Of course, that solitary defeat was a crucial one and came at the hands of PSG in the quarter-finals back in 2021. 

Since that loss, Bayern have won seven of their next eight home UCL games with a whopping 30 goals scored. Contrastingly, PSG have won only two of their next away UCL fixtures since that fine win in Munich.

While the first leg proved a more tentative affair, we do expect to see goals in this decisive second leg. Should Bayern get the opener, PSG will have no choice but to go for it, and given their recent defensive uncertainty, it seems improbable that they can keep out a Bayern side so strong in attack, even if they do score the first goal in this contest.

On the road, goals are usually inevitable when PSG are involved in this competition, with 11 of their last 12 seeing BTTS. Nine of those 11 also saw over 2.5 goals scored, and given the nature of this contest, that outcome looks likely, with the over 2.5 goals selection also appealing. Combining both selections looks like a wise play for a fixture that could get tasty if we get an early goal at either end.
