Why Paris Saint-Germain is a Good Bet Versus Bayern Munich

Unlike in the first leg, Kylian Mbappe is one-hundred percent. In the first contest, Mbappe played, but he came off the bench.

On March 8, Mbappe is going to play alongside Messi and Neymar, if required, will come off the bench. The change in the lineup should make all the difference because since Kylian has returned, PSG has dominated Lille, Marseille, and Nantes.

Why Bayern is a Good Bet Versus Paris Saint-Germain

Like PSG, the home team played without their biggest star in the first match. Sadio Mane didn’t step onto the pitch in Bayern’s 1-0 victory.

Mane barely played in Bayern’s 3-0 win against FC Union Berlin. Sadio didn’t play much aginast Stuttgart and Bayern beat their rivals 2-1.

Sadio is slowly getting back to his best form, which is okay. In his place, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has scored goals in 3 straight matches. So using Mane off the bench has worked.

Final Betting Analysis: Paris Saint-Germain at Bayern Munich

Bayern has the edge because this happens at he Allianz Arena, but we shouldn’t write off Paris Saint-Germain. Since benching Neymar, PSG has played lights out, dominating tough Ligue 1 rivals like their opponents were standing still.

Paris appears top be done with the Brazilian star. Messi knows that PSG is Mbappe’s team. Lionel has become a great facilitator for his World Cup rival.

Neymar continues to play as if he is the biggest star on the team and it’s hurt Paris Saint-Germain. If PSG keeps Neymar on the bench in this, they should win. The odds make PSG an overlay.
