The reigning Bundesliga champions had drawn three consecutive games prior to their most recent wins and are a point clear of Union Berlin at the top of the table.

What is the team news?
Nordi Mukiele and Renato Sanches are the only confirmed absentees for Galtier’s side. Kylian Mbappe has missed the last three games but was pictured in training alongside the midfielder Marco Verratti with the pair expected to be in contention for first-team selection. Fabian Ruiz missed PSG’s defeat against Monaco with a stomach virus but is expected to be fit to return.
Bayern are still without Ryan Gravenberch, Lucas Hernandez, Sadio Mane, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Neuer, with all five out with long-term injuries. Thomas Muller is also a doubt after the German was subbed off at half-time with a suspected calf issue.
Predicted line-ups
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Ramos; Mendes; Pereira; Ruiz, Vitinha, Verratti; Neymar, Messi
Bayern: Sommer; Cancelo, De Ligt, Upamecano, Davies; Goretzka, Kimmich; Sane, Musiala, Coman; Choupo-Moting
Odds
PSG: 8/5
Draw: 13/5
Bayern Munich: 6/4
Prediction
Both sides have shown defensive frailties in recent weeks and with the vast array of attacking quality on display, this game promises goals and plenty of them. Bayern under Nagelsmann have never shied away from their attacking philosophy but against the pace and prowess of this PSG side, it may well come back to hurt them. PSG 3-1 Bayern Munich.
