"Champions League match prediction and betting tips for 'Bavaria'"
The Champions League 2020/21 quarter-final between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Bayern Munich is set to take place on April 13th at 22:00 (Moscow time) at the Parc des Princes in Paris. This highly-anticipated match promises a thrilling encounter between two football giants.
In their previous meeting, PSG emerged victorious with a score of 3:2. However, Bayern Munich will be aiming to turn the tables this time around, as they seek to progress to the semi-finals. Interestingly, Bayern will ideally need to win 2-3 nil against PSG, but a goal-fest with a one-goal difference starting from 4:3 would also suit them.
Bayern Munich's defensive record in the tournament has been fairly strong, having kept their goal intact twice. However, they have conceded more goals in the second half (4+6). On the offensive side, Bayern has scored significantly more goals in the second half (11+15) compared to the first half.
The last time Bayern Munich lost away from home in the UEFA Champions League was to PSG at the Parc des Princes in the group stage of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League. Since then, they have not lost away from home in the UEFA Champions League for 20 matches.
However, Bayern Munich faces a significant challenge due to the unavailability or doubtfulness of key players such as Niklas Süle, Corentin Tolisso, Robert Lewandowski, Marc Roca, Leon Goretzka, Douglas Costa, Jerome Boateng, Kingsley Coman, and Serge Gnabry.
PSG, on the other hand, is currently the favourite to win the tie, with odds of 1.35. However, there is a slight advantage in the betting line for Bayern, with odds of 2.2. The "Match Total Under (3.5)" has odds of 1.92 at 1xStavka Bookmaker for the PSG - Bayern Munich match.

The match between PSG and Bayern Munich promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams showcasing their offensive and defensive prowess. The outcome of this match could well determine the course of the Champions League this season.
