PSG and Bayern Munich put together a nine-goal thriller in the first leg of this Champions League semifinal tie, and many will be expecting another highly competitive game in the second leg. Both teams heavily rotated over the weekend in their league fixtures, allowing their star players not to play a full 90 minutes.
For the second leg, Bayern Munich are listed as -165 favorites while PSG are +300 underdogs. Bayern are slight favorites in terms of advancing, listed as -115 to qualify for the final. PSG are within range at -104 to advance.
Here are my official Champions League picks for PSG vs. Bayern Munich:
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Score or Assist (+100)
Kvaratskhelia is a special player and has been so clutch in the Champions League, dating back to last season’s winning campaign. In the first leg, he finished with two goals, and currently has 6 goals and 2 assists in five Champions League knockout stage games. Both teams will score in this game, and it’s hard to imagine another big PSG night without some involvement of Kvaratskhelia.
PSG to Advance to the Next Round (-104)
PSG might not be outright winners on the night (they do have tempting +300 odds), but it would take a minimum two-goal win for Bayern or a penalty-shootout loss in order for PSG to not advance. While I do believe in Bayern’s ability to score goals, this is an aspect that is equally matched by PSG’s front three. It can definitely be another high-scoring thriller, but I think Bayern will fall just short at home.
Both Teams to Score in the First Half (+140)
Once again, both teams will be looking to score right from the start. Bayern Munich needs to overtake a deficit, and all it takes is one goal from either team for the floodgates to open. I think goals will start early.
