Bayern Munich host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie and holders PSG take a 5-4 lead to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

Vincent Kompany's Bayern were crowned Bundesliga champions last month but they will be wary of a PSG side who have knocked out Chelsea and Liverpool in the last two rounds.

Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain preview 

Luis Enrique described his Paris Saint-Germain side's 5-4 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Bayern Munich as "the best match I have ever been involved in as a coach".

The good news is that we are only at the halfway point of this footballing feast and bookmakers are struggling to pick a favourite to qualify from the tie.

A scrappy 0-0 draw at the Allianz Arena would do nicely for holders PSG, of course, although the goalless stalemate is as big as 45-1 with Paddy Power.

Enrique's men raced into a 5-2 lead inside an hour at Parc des Princes before goals from Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz dragged Bayern back into the tie.

Vincent Kompany's hosts wrapped up the Bundesliga title last month so punters should not be concerned about their last two domestic results - a 4-3 win at Mainz, who blew a 3-0 lead, and a 3-3 draw at home to bottom club Heidenheim.

But Bayern look short enough in the 90-minutes market against PSG and backing under 2.5 home goals is a tempting bet.

The German champions were heading for extra-time in their quarter-final second leg at home to Real Madrid before Eduardo Camavinga was sent off in the 86th minute and Luis Diaz and Michael Olise scored late goals.

Bayern had been hot favourites to progress after winning 2-1 in Madrid but they conceded three first-half goals to set up a tense denouement at the Allianz Arena.

Overturning a one-goal deficit against PSG is a far tougher assignment, especially as the Parisian powerhouses have won their last five away matches without conceding a goal.

That run includes second-leg victories at Chelsea, where they won 3-0, and Liverpool, where they stood firm under pressure and Ousmane Dembele's late brace sealed a 4-0 aggregate win. 

PSG also won to nil at Liverpool and Arsenal last season before thrashing Inter 5-0 in the final. The nine goals in Paris came from just 13 shots on target and the holders can ensure that the return leg is less chaotic.

Vitinha should get shooting opportunities in second leg

PSG are missing influential right-back Achraf Hakimi due to injury but Enrique can unleash his first-choice midfield unit of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha.

Neves scored in both Champions League meetings with Bayern this term and Vitinha, who has fired 13 shots in his last four European away games, looks a nice price to have at least two attempts at goal.

Bayern star Olise looks value in cards market

Olise, who came off the bench to score Bayern's 99th-minute equaliser against Heidenheim on Saturday, may be underrated in the bookings market.

The brilliant winger, cautioned in three of his last five Bundesliga outings, has picked up three yellow cards in this season's Champions League.
