CLW - Football - Europe - CL - Champions League Women

Quarterfinals of the Women's Champions League, Bayern München will host Paris Saint Germain at the Allianz Arena. Last season both reached the Semifinals, this time around, one of them will repeat.

Bayern München
Unbeaten this year and with an ongoing streak of eight consecutive wins in all competitions, Bayern München is looking to proceed to the semifinals.

In the group stage won all their home matches and are yet to concede a goal at home. Finished in second place behind Olympique Lyonnais as Bayern München drop points in the scoreless draw in Benfica and the last minute loss in Lyon.

Bayern München posses important scoring options as Maximiliane Rall, Klara Bühl, Linda Dallmann, and the main one Lea Schüller with 13 goals in 17 matches.

Paris Saint Germain
Paris Saint Germain cruised to Quarterfinals, winning their six group matches by a combine scoreline of 25-0, yet to concede a goal either at home or away. Paris Saint Germain took advantage of a favourable group.

An ongoing streak of 15 matches unbeaten have them in this quarter final, Coupe de France semifinals and in French Division 1 just three points behind top of league Olympique Lyonnais.

A dynamic attack with Kadidiatou Diani, ex-Bayern München Sara Däbritz and the spotlight for Marie-Antoinette Kakoto with 15 goals in 17 matches.

Match
A repeat from 2017 Womens Champions League Quarterfinals. Each team won at home, but in the aggregate Paris Saint Germain scored more to proceed to the next stage. Both teams failed to score at away in that Quarterfinals.

Prediction
Both teams head into this match with a positive run of results, both teams are built for this competition, it seems too close to call. The home advantage provide Bayern München with a slight edge as seen in the precedent, still Paris Saint Germain are a difficult rival and could leave this match with a good result.

Therefore, the best option is for both teams to score at least a goal, both teams posses powerful attacks and solid defending. Due to the disparity in their leagues, their defenses rarely faces powerful attacks, still it would not be a simple thing, yet seems the most probable one.
