Bayern Munich Vs Paris Saint-Germain: Tebus Hasil Bad At Allianz Arena
JAKARTA - An exciting match will be presented at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night, November 26 when Bayern Munich host Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024/2025 Champions League continued. Both teams came under great pressure to achieve positive results, given that their position in the group's standings was not encouraging.
Bayern Munich, who are now 17th in the Champions League standings with six points from four games, are determined to continue the positive trend after recording six consecutive wins in all competitions. Vincent Kompany's side have just won 3-0 over Augsburg in the Bundesliga, which at the same time solidified their position at the top of the league standings with a six-point lead.
However, Bayern's Champions League trip this season is quite windy. They suffered defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona, despite a narrow 1-0 win over Benfica in the last game. Bayern have an impressive record against the French team, with 12 wins from the last 14 meetings.
On the other hand, Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain faced greater pressure. PSG are in 25th place in the Champions League standings, only four points from four games. Their performance in the competition is less impressive, with only three goals scored so far.
PSG have just won 3-0 over Toulouse in Ligue 1, which strengthens their position at the top of the domestic league standings. However, they had to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the last match of the Champions League. PSG's away record against the Bundesliga team was also not too good, with just one win in the last seven games.
Bayern are confirmed to appear without Joao Palhinha who has an addict injury, while Mathhys Tel is still doubtful. Leon Goretzka is likely to fill the midfield, while Serge Gnabry and Konrad Laimer are expected to return to the starting XI. Harry Kane, who scored a hat-trick against Augsburg, is the main threat with a total of 20 goals from 17 appearances this season.
Paris Saint-Germain received a power injection with Marquinhos' return ahead of a crucial match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The captain missed PSG's 3-0 win over Toulouse in Ligue 1 last Friday due to suspension, but is now ready to lead his team to face major challenges at the Allianz Arena.
Luis Enrique had to overcome the absence of several key players due to injury, including Senny Mayulu, Lucas Hernandez, Goncalo Ramos, and Presnel Kimpembe. Meanwhile, Nuno Mendes, who did not appear against Toulouse due to ankle problems, is still doubtful about appearing and having to undergo a fitness test.
Apart from Marquinhos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha, and Willian Pacho are also confirmed to return to the starting XI after only being on the bench in the last match in Ligue 1. Their presence is expected to strengthen PSG's back line and midfield.

On the front lines, Bradley Barcola, who performed brilliantly this season with a score of 10 goals in 16 appearances, will return to being a mainstay. He will join Ousmane Dembele and Marco Asensio in the attacking trident formation. Dembele also showed impressive performance this season with five goals and seven assists from 14 matches, while Asensio, who is expected to play as the center forward, has recorded two goals and four assists in 13 matches.
However, Randal Kolo Muani, who has not been able to show his best form, is likely to return to the bench. This striker has recently been linked with a potential move to Manchester United in January, but is still expected to have an impact as a substitute.
The duel will certainly be fierce, with Bayern eyeing home wins to strengthen their position in the group, while PSG hopes to steal points to keep their chances of qualifying for the next phase.
