PSG travel to the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern Munich on Wednesday night in a decisive second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.
The French side comes into the game as the current Champions League holders and is also six points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with just three matches left to play. Their recent results have been slightly inconsistent — they edged a dramatic 5-4 win in the first leg but then drew 2-2 with Lorient after making numerous substitutions.
Going forward, Paris Saint-Germai remains one of the most dangerous teams in the competition, having taken a tournament-high 282 shots so far. However, their record away at Bayern is not encouraging.
PSG team news
Luis Enrique faces a major selection issue in defence after losing a key player to injury. Right-back Achraf Hakimi has been ruled out for several weeks with a hamstring problem picked up in the first leg.
Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to fill in at right-back, which could allow Fabián Ruiz to step into midfield alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves.
PSG will also be without goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier and Quentin Ndjantou. Despite those absences, their attack remains strong.
Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are both expected to return to the starting lineup after being rested at the weekend.
Along with Desire Doue, they will aim to take advantage of Bayern’s high defensive line on the counter as PSG look to defend their one-goal advantage and reach the final.

Possible PSG starting XI:Â Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
