It's going to be an incredibly tricky final UCL game for PSV when they host Bayern Munich, and an equally tricky game for punters. Die Bayern (The Bavarians) have already qualified for the RO16 and are expected to rest several key players. Meanwhile, the 22nd-place PSV are on the same points as 26th-placed Copenhagen, and will be pulling out all the stops to make it through. Let's get into this match prediction!
PSV may just need to do the unlikely here if they hope to make the qualification playoffs. After winning only two of their seven UCL games, it all boils down to the last day, which demands a win over German giants Bayern Munich. Even if a victory is too far, at least a draw with one extra point could just be enough.
Theoretically, even with a loss, Boeren can still qualify. The problem is the margins must be small enough that PSV maintain that goal difference, which is still keeping them in the qualification zone. But with Bayern likely to field its second team, anything is possible. The German team secured automatic entry into the RO16 after winning six of its seven games, losing only to UCL leaders Arsenal.

PSV Eindhoven - Bayern Munich: Form Analysis
In truth, PSV have somewhat been impressive despite sitting in 22nd place after Round 7. Yes, Boeren has lost three games. But those three losses were to USG, Atletico Madrid, and lately, Newcastle.
On the other hand, PSV thrashed Liverpool 4-1 in Anfield against all the odds two games after flogging Napoli 6-2. The two other games were impressive away draws against Leverkusen and Olympiacos.
For context, PSV were the least-favoured to win in six of their seven UCL games so far.
Yet, here they are, sitting in 22nd (within the qualification playoffs spot) with one game left to go. But that could be their most difficult yet.
Their opponents, Bayern, have torn through the tournament, recording six wins (second-most) and the joint-most goals scored (20). The Bavarians' five-game winning run only just ended with a home defeat to Augsburg, marking their first league loss of the season.
Interestingly, that setback might just work in PSV’s favour as Bayern have even more reason to rest key players, seeing as their Bundesliga gap has been slashed to eight points.

PSV Eindhoven & Bayern Munich Squad Analysis
Several PSV players have kept the Dutch team in the ring. Ricardo Pepi scored in three of his five UCL games and provided one assist. Pepi has also scored in six of his last seven games.
But most of the credit should rightfully go to Couhaib Driouech, who has the joint-most goals (3) and assists (2) for Boeren in the UCL. And Couhaib’s contributions came when it mattered the most.
Driouech scored two goals against Liverpool and one goal with an assist against Napoli, winning the POTM in both games.
Another deadly man who could be the difference for PSV against Bayern is Guus Til. He's PSV’s highest goal scorer in the Dutch league with 11 goals, and Til also has four goal contributions across four of the seven UCL games so far.
But Bayern have their own offensive powerhouses, even on the bench. Notably, Nicolas Jackson, who will likely earn a start against PSV, has three goal contributions in just 131 minutes in this UCL campaign.

Our PSV Eindhoven vs Bayern Munich Prediction
It's a bold bet, considering that these are some of the most prolific teams in front of goal across Europe. However, the dynamics of this game are unique. Bayern will likely rotate key players to avoid injuries ahead of an even more gruelling knockout phase.
Additionally, PSV’s attack will be facing the second-best defensive team in the campaign so far. In fact, Die Bayern's rock-solid defence has seen them concede just seven goals while keeping six of their seven Champions League games under five goals. Hence, our PSV Eindhoven vs Bayern Munich prediction is 2-4 Goals Range.
