Bayern Munich Team And Injury News
The Bayern Munich camp received a major boost following their final training session at the Allianz Arena. Manager Vincent Kompany has nearly a full squad at his disposal after Raphaël Guerreiro and youngster Lennart Karl returned to full training. However, the Bavarians will be without the services of Serge Gnabry, who remains sidelined with an adductor avulsion.
Depth players like Cassiano Kiala and David Daiber are also out, but they are unlikely to affect the starting selection. All eyes will be on Harry Kane, who has been clinical this season, and Michael Olise, who found the net in the first leg and will be crucial in breaking down the PSG backline.
PSG Team And Injury News
The major blow for Paris Saint-Germain is the absence of star right back Achraf Hakimi, who sustained a hamstring injury in the first leg and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. This forced shuffle will likely see the versatile Warren Zaïre-Emery move into the right back role, opening a spot for Fabián Ruiz in the midfield.
Additionally, second-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is out with a thigh injury, though Matvey Safonov remains the confirmed starter between the posts. The attacking trio of Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who combined for all five goals in Paris, remains fit and ready to exploit Bayern’s high defensive line.

Bayern vs PSG Prediction: Can Bayern Munich Overturn The Deficit?
This match is widely predicted to be another high-scoring affair, given both teams’ attacking philosophies. Bayern Munich are the favourites to win the second leg at home with a slightly high win probability, as they have won all six of their Champions League matches at the Allianz Arena this season. However, the ultimate question is whether they can win by the two-goal margin required to advance. PSG’s counterattacking threat through Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia is lethal, especially with Bayern forced to push forward. We expect a thrilling 3-2 win for Bayern on the night, leading the match into extra time and potentially a penalty shootout.
