PSG visit the Allianz Arena looking to protect a narrow advantage after last week’s breathtaking 5-4 win in Paris. Champions League betting expert Frank Monkhouse shares his predictions for the decisive second leg.
The UEFA Champions League semi-finals bring footballing drama from Tuesday into Wednesday night. Arsenal welcome Atlético Madrid with the tie locked at 1-1, before Bayern Munich and PSG renew their rivalry 24 hours later. After the final whistle in Germany, we will know the two finalists for this season’s Champions League final in Budapest, Hungary.
This page focuses on the most attractive duel of the week, where Bayern Munich face the reigning European champions PSG in a do-or-die clash for the hosts. Few experts expected both sides to go all-out attack and produce nine goals in the last meeting. PSG took the win, but the tie remains wide open. If the Parisians think the job is done, they could be in for a surprise.
Bayern Munich enjoy the support of their home crowd, but Vincent Kompany’s side know they must overcome a top-class opponent. If they win by one goal, extra time awaits. If they win by two or more, they book a place in the final. Any other result sends PSG to their second final in two years. Frank Monkhouse analyzes the game.

**Match Winner – Bayern Munich**
I’m not hesitating: I’m backing Bayern Munich to beat PSG. When predicting the match winner, it doesn’t matter who advances to the final. If Bayern Munich score more goals than PSG in 90 minutes, your bet wins and you collect profits. You can back the hosts solo or include them in a multiples bet, like a Champions League double.
Head-to-head statistics between these sides, available on the Flashscore app, show they have met 17 times since 1994. As expected between two giants, the record is extremely balanced. The Germans have nine wins, the French eight. Wednesday will be the third meeting of the season, and by far the most decisive.

Bayern Munich have hosted PSG on seven occasions. Five of those games ended with a home victory, while the visitors won the other two. Notably, they have never drawn, and I don’t see that changing now. Kompany’s side have already overcome Real Madrid, Atalanta, and Union Saint-Gilloise at this stadium in 2026. Trust the home win.
**Explanation:** If Bayern Munich defeat PSG, you beat the bookmakers and gain profits.
**Both Teams to Score – Yes**
After watching the goal fest between Bayern Munich and PSG last week in Paris, the both teams to score market will be one of the most popular this Wednesday. It’s a market I like and the statistics back it up.
