PSG vs Bayern Munich H2H Results (Last Five Games)Current Form (Last Five Games)United KingdomUnited StatesCanadaPSG team newsInjuries have been a massive problem for PSG but there is hope that the majority of their problems could be ended in time for this one. Lionel Messi is expected back from a hamstring injury and he should be joined by midfielder Marco Verratti. Kylian Mbappe had been ruled out for this one but was back in light training on Sunday, and local reports suggest he could make the matchday squad, although whether he'll be a starter or even play at all is a different matter. Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele are confirmed absentees, while Fabian Ruiz must overcome a stomach virus first.
This game would be tough to predict even if both teams weren't coming into it below 100%. Either could quite easily win the entire tournament. Bayern have looked stronger in recent weeks but don't underestimate the importance of PSG having both Messi and Neymar back available. If Mbappe can recover in time as well, that's a return which could easily define a campaign. Amid concerns that the Frenchman might not be available at all, Bayern will fancy their chances of taking advantage and snatching a narrow victory.
Bayern, on the other hand, have lost just once all season and have scored at least three goals in each of their last three games. Both teams' seasons hinge on success in this competition, and crashing out at this early stage is going to put significant pressure on whichever side does not come out on top. Here's all you need to know about this one.
(4-3-1-2): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Mendes; Verratti, Vitinha, Danilo; Neymar; Messi, Ekitike.

Manuel Neuer, Sadio Mane, Lucas Hernandez, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui remain out, but Joshua Kimmich will return from suspension. (4-2-3-1): Sommer; Cancelo, De Ligt, Upamecano, Davies; Goretzka, Kimmich; Gnabry, Musiala, Sane; Choupo-Moting.
