Match Preview
Bayern Munich were widely criticized last season under Thomas Tuchel, as they failed to win any trophies—a rarity for the German giants. The appointment of Vincent Kompany initially seemed risky, but the Belgian is proving the club's management right.
Currently, Bayern sit comfortably atop the Bundesliga with 29 points from 11 matches, six points clear of second-place Eintracht Frankfurt. Their dominance suggests they are on course to reclaim the Bundesliga title. On Saturday, they secured a convincing 3:0 victory over Augsburg, with Harry Kane bagging a hat-trick.
In the Champions League, Bayern started spectacularly with a 9:2 win over Dinamo Zagreb but faltered against Aston Villa (0:1) and Barcelona (1:4). However, they bounced back with a narrow 1:0 win over Benfica in the last round.
Paris Saint-Germain continue to dominate Ligue 1 as expected. After a brief challenge from Monaco early in the season, PSG have now pulled six points clear at the top with 32 points from 12 matches and an impressive +26 goal difference under Luis Enrique.
However, their Champions League campaign has been lackluster. PSG narrowly beat Girona (1:0) in the opener due to a goalkeeper error, but then drew with PSV (1:1) and suffered defeats to Arsenal (0:2) and Atletico Madrid (1:2). They currently sit in 25th place in the group standings, outside the qualification spots for the knockout stage.
Predicted Lineups
- Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
- Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola
Prediction for Bayern Munich vs PSG
It’s difficult to see how PSG can match this Bayern team, especially at the Allianz Arena, where the hosts are incredibly dominant. My bet: a home win for Bayern.
