The match of the 8th round of the group stage of the Champions League 2025/26 between PSV Eindhoven and Bayern Munich will take place on 28 january at Philips Stadium in Eindhoven. PSV Eindhoven vs Bayern Munich: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
PSV Eindhoven
PSV Eindhoven suffered a heavy 0:3 away defeat to Newcastle in the last round. The poor run of four matches, during which the squad recorded only one win in the Champions League (1 draw, 2 defeats), dropped the club to 22nd place in the standings. The team can no longer reach the top eight, but a play-off place will be secured if three points are collected in the upcoming match. It is also worth noting that the club's 12-match scoring run in the Champions League ended in the last round, while the side has conceded in 15 consecutive matches in this European competition.
- At least three goals were scored in 11 of PSV Eindhoven's last 13 Champions League matches.
- The team has not drawn at home in this competition in eight consecutive matches (5 wins, 3 defeats).
- In 6 of the last 7 home matches in the Champions League the club conceded at least two goals.
Potential PSV Eindhoven Lineup (4-3-3)
Matej Kovar – Armando Obispo, Sergiño Dest, Jerdy Schouten, Anass Salah-Eddine – Joey Veerman, Ivan Perisic, Mauro Junior – Dennis Man, Guus Til, Ismaël Saibari.
Due to injury the forwards Ruben van Bommel, Alassane Pléa, Myron Boadu and Ricardo Pepi are out, as well as goalkeeper Nick Olij. Defender Jarek Gasiorowski is suspended.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich beat Union Berlin 2:0 at home in the last match. The sixth victory in the current edition of the competition (1 defeat) ensured the visitors a top-eight place in advance, and the team cannot finish lower than fifth. It is worth noting that in the last round Bayern Munich kept a clean sheet for only the second time in nine recent Champions League matches. Nevertheless, the club ranks among the top four for defensive reliability in the Champions League 2025/26, and with 20 goals scored the side is among the three most prolific teams.
- There was a goal in both halves in 5 of Bayern Munich's last 7 Champions League matches.
- On the road in this competition the club has avoided defeat in 5 of the last 6 matches (4 wins, 1 draw).
- The team conceded in 12 of the last 13 away matches in the Champions League.
Potential Bayern Munich Lineup (4-5-1)
Manuel Neuer – Hiroki Ito, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano, Joshua Kimmich – Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, Tom Bischof, Luis Diaz, Aleksandar Pavlovic – Harry Kane.
Defender Raphael Guerreiro and midfielder Konrad Laimer are sidelined. Defender Kim Min Jae is suspended. Defenders Sasa Boe and Josip Stanisic have returned to full training, however the latter was not included in the matchday squad.

PSV Eindhoven vs Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
The home side will be extremely motivated in the final round. It is unlikely the team will play looking at results in parallel fixtures. Despite the intimidating name of the opponent, the squad must try to take three points. At home the team shows decent form, avoiding defeat in 12 of the last 15 Champions League matches (8 wins, 4 draws). At the same time PSV Eindhoven scored even in the matches they lost during this run. Also, in the current edition of the tournament the club has one of the best scoring records among the middle-ranking teams. However, the side concedes a lot even relative to its level.
The Munich side can afford a relaxed performance. The prospect of taking first place given Arsenal's results seems unattainable. Nevertheless, even a possible rest for Bayern Munich's key players is unlikely to be comforting for PSV Eindhoven, as many players can score against the visitors. On the road Vincent Kompany's team has been prolific over six Champions League matches, and in five of those games the club scored at least twice. It is also worth adding that both clean sheets this season for the club were achieved at home, while away they conceded even against one of the two least prolific teams.
Prediction: Both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals
