Champions League Final 2020 - Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich Prediction, Betting Tips, and Match Preview. 23-08-20



The 2019/20 UEFA Champions League ends on Sunday as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich go toe-to-toe for the right to be called European Champions. With the match scheduled to kickoff from 19:00 GMT, we would see which one of the sides will claim the title.

Paris Saint-Germain booked themselves a place in the final after downing RB Leipzig in their semifinals game. The Parisiens took an early lead from a set-piece as Angel Di Maria made it easy for Marquinos to head home. The Argentine looked to be what the French club was missing against Atalanta as he doubled his side’s lead on the 42nd-minute mark. Juan Bernat rounded up the scoring 11 minutes into the second half as Thomas Tuchel’s side marched on to the final.

Both of this season’s surprise packages were knocked out after Bayern Munich eliminated Olympique Lyonnais in the second semifinals setting up a feisty encounter on Sunday. The French giants could have easily been 3-0 up in the first 15 minutes of the game and were left to rue their missed chances as Serge Gnabry gave his side the lead with eighteen minutes played. He scored his brace on the 33rd-minute mark, ensuring his side led at half time. Robert Lewandowski then added a 3rd with his 55th goal of the season.

There’s certainly no pressure in Thomas Tuchel’s camp as his side will be playing in their first-ever Champions League final in the club's illustrious history. Although they had to fight tooth and nail to get to this stage, Paris Saint-Germain had a better route to the final and will have a much bigger fish to fry on Sunday. However, with the attacking trio of Mbappe, Neymar, and Di Maria, the French outfit are more than capable to etch their names onto the coveted cup.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is currently on a rampage with the Bavarians absolutely destroying everybody they’ve come across. From a 7-1 victory to an 8-2 humiliation of FC Barcelona, and a comprehensive 3-0 win Against Lyon, Bayern Munich will be looking to win their sixth Champions League title and their first since 2013.

Thomas Tuchel doesn’t have any injury problems and will be heading into this game with his first-team squad. Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar are expected to lead the line on Sunday. With regards to the Bavarians, Jerome Boateng is rated doubtful after coming off at the half time break against Lyon. However, they have a capable replacement in the person of Niklas Suele.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich Prediction: 2-2

Both nets at the Estadio da Luz are expected to shake come Sunday with attacking threats all over the field. However, compared to the French Champions, Bayern Munich is better at the back which gives them an advantage. Nonetheless, the Parisiens can’t be ruled out as this is a final. Given this, we find value in betting on both teams to score.
