Having won their last six games by a goal difference of 17-0, it's safe to say that Bayern Munich are in superb form going into Tuesday's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Most recently, a second-half hat-trick from Harry Kane saw the Bavarians defeat Augsburg 3-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to six points.

Things haven't been quite so smooth in the Champions League, however, with the Bavarians sitting in the middle of the table on six points from four games.

That's two more than Tuesday's opponents, Paris Saint-Germain, who have failed to win in their last three Champions League games.

Like Bayern, PSG are top of the domestic standings, and a 3-0 win over Toulouse on Friday ensured they are six points clear of Monaco in Ligue 1.

The two sides last met in the 2022/23 season, when Bayern progressed from the 1/8-finals 3-0 on aggregate after winning both games.

In terms of absentees, Bayern are still without long-term casualties Hiroki Ito, Joao Palhinha, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanisic.

Sven Ulreich missed Friday's game against Augsburg for personal reasons and may miss out again, but Mathys Tel is back in full training.

Konrad Laimer could be preferred to Raphael Guerreiro at right-back due to his greater pace and physical strength. Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané are pushing for a start, and one of them could potentially replace Kingsley Coman on the left.

PSG will be without Senny Mayulu, Lucas Hernandez, Goncalo Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe through injury, while Nuno Mendes will be assessed after missing Friday's game with an ankle problem.
