Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich prediction
Atlanta may very well be hosting a “grand final” clash a week early, with two of the very best European clubs in the 2025 Club World Cup coming face to face in the last-eight bracket this weekend.
Tactically, it’s going to be a fascinating battle at Mercedes-Benz Stadium between two UCL monsters.
PSG’s free-flowing rotations and ever-changing defensive plans are often too much to handle for opponents, but Bayern Munich should be able to mount a stiff counter to it, though, with Vincent Kompany’s side already proving through their U.S. campaign that they can win matches off the ball.

It all boils down to Luis Enrique’s Champions League-winning side doing things better than their German opponents. It could become a bit of a goal fest in Atlanta, and that will be helped on by Ousmané Dembélé returning for PSG and Kingsley Coman, Michael Olise, and Serge Gnabry all likely picks around the top of the starting XI for Kompany.
Should Kompany’s Bayern be able to keep up their lofty levels in America, then it could be a very, very tight contest, but PSG hasn’t looked as troubled so far and should bring out yet another level of quality as the bracket gets serious.
- Our prediction: PSG 3–2 Bayern Munich
- Goalscorer tip: Ousmané Dembélé
