Oliver Barnard
Paris Saint-Germain won last Tuesday's first leg 5-4
Both sides rotated their squads and drew their domestic games on Saturday
Recommended bet: Bayern to win and both teams to score
Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain produced one of the great matches in the competition's history as PSG edged a nine-goal thriller last week, the highest-scoring semi-final since 1960.
With the two top-scoring sides in this season's competition, it was no surprise fans were treated to a high-quality attacking spectacle in Paris.
Each should be rested and refeshed after rotating for weekend draws, Bayern 3-3 with Heidenheim and PSG 2-2 against Lorient.
With a place in the final on the line, this tie could still go either way, but all the evidence points towards another goal-laden contest between two worthy European champions.

Team news
Bayern have no new injury concerns and are expected to restore several key players after rotating at the weekend.
Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise and Harry Kane could all come back in, while youngsters Tom Bischof and Lennart Karl could also feature.
PSG are set to be without Achraf Hakimi, who picked up a hamstring injury in the first leg, a potential blow given his importance on the right flank at both ends of the pitch.
Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to shift into the right-back role, with Fabian Ruiz taking over in midfield.

Prediction
After the French side tore Bayern apart with five goals in 58 minutes, the German champions regained a foothold with two late strikes to remain firmly in the tie, trailing 5-4 on aggregate.
The home crowd could prove crucial and, back at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern have won every game in this season's competition, they can be fancied to turn the result around against the defending champions.
Domestically, Bayern have also been formidable, losing just twice at home since the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Another high-scoring contest looks likely given the attacking quality on both sides, and the first leg showed just how little separates them.
With two of the competition's most potent attacks on display, chances should come regularly and it would be no surprise to see both teams find the net once again.
Bayern can be backed to edge it over 90 minutes, but PSG's firepower should ensure they play their part in another open encounter.
A narrow winning margin looks the most likely outcome and even if Bayern are fancied to come out on top on the night, the tie could very much head beyond the 90 minutes.
