Bayern backed to turn their semi-final around
Bayern Munich stayed in the semi-final when battling back from 5-2 down to lose 5-4 in Paris and the Bavarians now get a crack at the holders at the Allianz Arena.
Vincent Kompany’s men have lost only one of their 23 home matches this season, winning 20 of those, with Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig all among those sent away empty-handed.
Of course, if the second leg follows the first, then anything is possible in Munich, but Bayern may be able to exert a little more control on home turf.
Domestically, PSG have lost at Rennes, Monaco and Marseille this term.
The Parisians have also failed to win at Sporting and Athletic Club in this competition, and Luis Enrique’s men may be a little vulnerable on the road.
Leg 1: Bayern Munich to win @ 13/20
Another high-scoring contest looks likely
It’s rare that both teams to score is 2/7 and over 3.5 goals is 1/2 in the latter stages of the Champions League, but it’s no surprise given the 5-4 thriller these teams played out last week.
There is the possibility of Bayern having more control in the return leg, but the Bavarians are effectively 1-0 down from the first game and they will need to push forward to turn the tie in their favour.
Kompany’s hosts have seen 13 of their last 15 fixtures bust the 3.5 mark and there have been a whopping 77 goals in those matches.
PSG have seen 48 strikes in their previous 12 games, and overs has to be a play in this spot between the competition’s top two scorers.
Leg 2: Over 3.5 goals @ 1/2
Kane can leave PSG in pain
Harry Kane is a bet to get on the scoresheet with goal expectancy so high in this Champions League semi-final second-leg tie.
The England striker has scored a whopping 20 goals in his last 17 appearances for Bayern and he has hit the net 59 times for club and country this term.
The 32-year-old notched in the first leg in Paris to take his tally to 13 in this season’s Champions League, and Kane will once again be on penalty duty after successfully converting from 12 yards last week.
Leg 3: Harry Kane to score @ 4/7
Olise set to star again
Despite Kane’s form, Michael Olise has arguably been Bayern Munich’s most impressive performer this season and the Frenchman can also find the net.
The former Crystal Palace star has five goals in his last seven appearances for the Bavarians.
Olise’s skill, pace and intelligence helped him breach the PSG defence in Paris last week and he only seems to be getting better.
Leg 4: Michael Olise to score @ 5/4
