On March 8, Allianz Arena (Munich) will host the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, in which Bayern will compete with PSG. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Bayern
The team spends its second season under the rule of Nagelsmann. Inviting, and de facto buying, a young coaching talent from RB Leipzig, the Munich club obviously wanted to repeat the result that had been given by Flick – a triple of trophies. Still, the last draw limited Julian only to the “minimum programme” – another victory in the Bundesliga, which was added by failures in the DFB Pokal and the Champions League. Nowadays, “the Record Masters” are not as confident as usual at the inner arena – they allowed Borussia from Dortmund to reach them by the end of winter. At the same time, the German grandee showed pretty good results in the Champions League, not only at the group stage like it had happened before. This time it was possible to start the play-offs with an away victory in the capital of France, which helps the team to understand the way to prepare for the following battle – it is aware that a draw would be enough at home arena.
PSG
The club is really eager to win in the Champions League. It goes without saying that the management recruited stars, from Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos and Hakimi to Messi, Neymar, and also kept Mbappé not in order to win at the inner arena as soon as possible once again. By the way, there were enough misfires just in the winter, and nevertheless, the distance from the nearest pursuers is more than significant. Thus, it is clear that the gold medals will not “go” anywhere from Paris. At the same time, Galtier’s wards could not beat Benfica in both autumn matches, eventually going to the play-offs from the second place. As a result, the grandee became the next opponent already in the 1/8 finals – it was Real Madrid in 2022, and it is the German team this time. The home match was unsuccessful – there was no response to Coman’s goal. The higher mentioned player scored the most important goal in the battle against his native club again...
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Kingsley has recently scored the only goal in a similar duel – in the 2020 final. The clubs met each other again in the spring of 2021 (that was a 1/4 match), and there, after the exchange of victories, the French team went further, however, due to the away goal rule.
Predictions
Bookmakers are waiting for a bright game, which will result in one more victory of Bayern. Still, a 0-0 draw is enough for the hosts. Thus, it’s worth taking a closer look at the offer “total: under 3.5” (odd: 1.7).
