Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich Preview

Paris Saint-Germain welcome Bayern Munich to the Parc des Princes on Monday evening for what promises to be a fascinating Champions League league phase encounter between two European heavyweights. The Parisian side arrive in solid form, unbeaten in their last five outings with three victories and two draws. Their most recent fixture saw them edge past Nice 1-0 at home, following a 1-1 draw away at Lorient. Earlier in this run, they recorded an impressive 3-0 away victory at Brest and secured a crucial 7-2 away win at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, though they were held to a 3-3 home draw by Strasbourg. This mixed bag of results suggests a team finding consistency, particularly in European competition where they’ve shown attacking prowess.

In stark contrast, Bayern Munich arrive in Paris in absolutely scintillating form, boasting a perfect record of five consecutive victories. The Bavarian giants have been ruthless, most recently dispatching Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at home before thrashing FC Cologne 4-1 away in the German Cup. Their earlier victories include a 3-0 away triumph at Borussia Mönchengladbach, a commanding 4-0 home win over Club Brugge in the Champions League, and a 2-1 home success against Borussia Dortmund. This remarkable run of form, featuring 16 goals scored across five matches, demonstrates Bayern’s attacking might and defensive solidity. The German champions will be brimming with confidence as they travel to face their old rivals.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Bayern Munich, who have won four of the last five meetings between these European giants. Bayern secured a 1-0 home victory in Munich in November 2024 during the Champions League, and before that, a 2-0 home triumph in March 2023. They also claimed another 2-0 home win in March 2023. Paris Saint-Germain’s sole victory in this recent sequence came in a pre-season friendly in July 2025, when they won 2-0. The pattern is clear: Bayern have dominated recent competitive encounters, particularly in Champions League knockout ties, though PSG will hope home advantage can shift the momentum in their favour this time around.
