Paris SG News & Form
PSG looks to earn their fourth trophy this season, as they have already won two domestic titles and their league. They have reached the quarterfinals in each of the last four seasons, but this is the first time they have made it all the way to the finals in the 50-year history of their franchise.
Paris SG has been one of the most formidable opponents since play resumed. The French team defeated Atalanta 2-1 in the quarterfinals, as they trailed Atalanta heading into stoppage time, but goals by Marquinhos and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored to send their team to the semifinals. There, Paris Saint-Germain dominated RB Leipzig, 3-0.
Thomas Tuchel head coach of PSG
In the semis, the Parisians scored two first-half goals and then simply smothered Leipzig with a relentless defense. Angel Di Maria had a goal and an assist, adding the helper on Juan Bernat’s tally, the third goal of the game for PSG.
In their last nine games, including friendlies, Paris SG has scored 29 goals while conceding just once. They will be without Layvin Kurzawa and Abdou Diallo, which diminishes the strength of their bench, but all their first team players are healthy.

Our Paris SG vs. Bayern Munich Betting Tip
It is easy to see why these are the two teams playing for the championship. The talent and skill level of both teams is exceptional, especially in how well they attack. This would lead many to believe in a high scoring affair and the fact that PSG scored five goals in their three matches and Bayern Munich tallied 15 in their three playoff contests would only buoy the belief that scoring will not be an issue.
However, this is the championship. That usually leads to a more careful and tentative approach as no one wants to make a mistake the gives their opponent an early goal. In a game like this, one goal will likely be the difference, so caution will be the word early on.
The history of Bayern Munich is honorable; of that there is no doubt. However, they are not going to win their sixth Champions League title. PSG has been on the door the last few years and has played much better defense of late.
I like a team that is on a roll, but that run is going to end here. Take PSG to win, 2-1. Kylian Mbappe will score at least one goal in this game.
