Bayern Munich host PSG in the Uefa Champions League this Tuesday with both sides in need of a win to boost their chances of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
The Bavarian outfit sit on six points following two victories and two defeats, while the Parisians have just four points from the opening four games, scoring a measly three goals.
João Palhinha (adductor) and Hiroki Ito (metatarsal) will miss the game for Bayern, while Mathys Tel faces a late fitness test after sitting out the weekend’s win over Augsburg with a knock.
PSG are missing Senny Mayulu, Lucas Hernandez, Goncalo Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe through injury. Nuno Mendes could return from an ankle problem.

Form
Bayern Munich: WWWWW
Vincent Kompany’s side have been virtually flawless on the domestic front; they’re unbeaten in the Bundesliga and are through the third round of the DFB Pokal. Their only slip-ups have come in the Champions League, courtesy of Aston Villa (1-0) and Barcelona (4-1).
Bayern have bounced back from the latter result with a vengeance, winning all of their following six games without conceding a goal.
PSG: WWLWW
Like their German counterparts, PSG are unbeaten in Ligue 1 with ten wins and two draws after 12 games. However, a narrow win over Girona on Matchday 1 remains their only victory in the Champions League this season.
While they have tossed aside the likes of domestic rivals Toulouse and Angers in recent weeks, they drawn with PSV and lost to Arsenal and Atletico Madrid in Europe.
