Bayern have been near-perfect this season both in Europe and domestically, only losing once in all competitions before this weekend, where they were shockingly beaten at home by FC Augsburg.

Previous Meetings

01 Nov 2016 // PSV Eindhoven 1-2 Bayern München

The two sides have only met in Eindhoven once before back in 2016, which saw Bayern take victory in a narrow 1-2 win.

Key Players to Watch

PSV: Ivan Persiic

The Croatian International may be firmly into his thirties but he remains a key figure for his club as they look to turn their domestic dominance to success on the European stage.

Bayern Munich: Harry Kane

The Bayern squad is brimming with talent everywhere across the pitch, but Harry Kane may be the jewel in their crown.

The England captain has already scored over 20 goals in all competitions, as he looks to help Bayern bring the Champions League back to Bavaria.

Our Main Prediction

PSV 1-3 Bayern Munich

PSV are a strong side who have been impressive domestically under manager Peter Bosz, however, this supreme Bayern squad should have too much for the Dutch side.
