Bayern Munich host Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
The first meeting between the two teams was a fast-paced Champions League final, with PSG edging out a 5-4 win in Paris to take advantage of Germany.
Despite trailing by three goals at one stage, Bayern made a late comeback to stay alive, ensuring that a place in the final was still to be played for.
Vincent Kompany’s side will feel they have every opportunity to turn things around at home, especially given their impressive recent record against PSG in Munich.
However, history has not been particularly kind to Bayern in this situation, having just overturned a first-leg defeat in a European semi-final.
Their home form has also faltered in recent weeks, with a 3-3 draw against Heidenheim following defeat in Paris, leaving them winless for the first time this season.
The Ligue 1 champions have also been excellent away from home, winning each of their last six games on the road while keeping clean sheets in five of those games.
PSG will know that the job is far from done, especially against a Bayern side that regularly produces goals at the Allianz Arena and rarely struggles to create chances in front of their supporters.
