The quarter-final match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup between PSG (France) and Bayern Munich (Germany) will take place on July 5 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, USA. PSG vs. Bayern Munich: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
Luis Enrique's side confidently defeated Inter Miami 4-0 in the previous round. This was PSG's third victory in the current tournament, and in each of these matches, the team kept a clean sheet. Additionally, the Parisians won by a four-goal margin for the second time in the Club World Cup. With 10 goals, PSG is only behind three clubs in terms of goals scored in the tournament.
- The team has won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 matches in the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup.
- The club's players have scored at least twice in 90 minutes in 5 of the last 6 matches in these tournaments.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in PSG's last five matches in the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Marquinhos, William Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola.
Defender Presnel Kimpembe will miss the match due to injury. Midfielder Fabian Ruiz might also miss the game due to illness.
Bayern Munich
Vincent Kompany's team defeated Flamengo 4-2 in the round of 16. As a result, Bayern Munich secured their third victory in the current Club World Cup. The team has shown strong attacking prowess, scoring 16 goals in four matches, the best record in the tournament. However, note that the Germans have not kept a clean sheet in their last three Club World Cup matches.
- The team has won in regular time in 7 of their last 8 matches in the Club World Cup.
- Bayern Munich has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in 7 of their last 8 matches in this tournament.

Match Prediction: PSG vs. Bayern Munich
In a clash between such teams, predicting the outcome is extremely challenging, so I believe it's better to consider the total goals option. Both the French and German sides have shown bright attacking displays on the international stage and have high scoring rates in the current Club World Cup. PSG has scored ten goals in four matches, while Bayern Munich averages four goals per game.
It's also worth noting that in the past UEFA Champions League campaign, PSG regularly found the back of the net, scoring at least twice in 9 of their last 12 matches in this European competition. A similar pattern is observed with the Munich team: Bayern scored in their last seven UEFA Champions League encounters, and in five instances during this span, the team breached the opponents' defense at least twice.
I expect a high-scoring encounter and anticipate a large number of goals. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
* Each team's starting lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.
