PSG vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Bayern Munich have thrived on multiple fronts this season and will now be able to rotate their squad to make the most of their resources on the European stage. Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala scored goals off the bench over the weekend and will likely return to the starting lineup on Tuesday.
PSG have been exceptional under Luis Enrique over the past year and will need to work hard to defend their Champions League crown. Bayern Munich are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
