It is a battle of two European heavyweights in the Champions League final on Sunday night as Paris Saint-Germain play Bayern Munich in Lisbon.
The Bundesliga champions have pulled no punches on their way to this season’s showpiece event, winning all 10 of their matches so far and scoring an incredible 42 times, with the highlight surely an 8-2 demolition of Barcelona.
PSG have been almost as dominant themselves with eight victories from 10 games and 25 strikes to their name, the second most in the competition behind Bayern on both counts.

Bayern have won their last 21 matches in all competitions and are bet365’s even money (2.0) favourites to extend that with victory in 90 minutes, or 4/7 (1.57) to lift the trophy by any means.
It has been an incredibly successful season for PSG following their domestic treble but they are 11/5 (3.20) outsiders for victory in normal time, or 11/8 (2.37) to make it four trophies.

PSG vs Bayern Munich Team News
Idrissa Gueye, Layvin Kurzawa and Marco Verratti are all doubts for PSG, whilst Keylor Navas faces a late fitness test.
Jerome Boateng was substituted with a muscle complaint at half-time in Bayern’s 3-0 win over Lyon in the semi-final but is expected to be fit for the final.
PSG vs Bayern Munich Preview
The sheer amount of attacking talent that will be on display at Estadio da Luz should lead to an open and exciting game, with Robert Lewandowski looking to add to his incredible 15-goal tally whilst, Serge Gnabry, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will all also want to shine.
Both sides won their respective semi-final matches by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline and although that showcased the defensive ability of Bayern and PSG, it is difficult to see anything other than attacks ruling the roost in Lisbon.
In fact, the goals could start early in this one considering there has been a goal in the opening 20 minutes in each of Bayern’s Champions League games since the restart, while PSG led 1-0 after just 13 minutes in their semi-final.
PSG vs Bayern Munich Tips and Predictions
The volume of attacking capability on show means that this certainly has potential to be one of the best Champions League finals in recent memory and the 5/6 (1.83) quote on a goal before the 22nd minute offers solid value here.
Also worth considering is over 1.5 goals in the first half at evens (2.0), which would have paid out in both semi-final matches, as well as Bayern’s 4-1 win over Chelsea and 8-2 thrashing of Barcelona.
