"That said, Lennart Karl has been scoring at a similar rate in his young Champions League career so far, with three goals in five outings. The 17-year-old attacker is now on the verge of another milestone: should he feature on Wednesday, it will be his sixth Champions League appearance before his 18th birthday. That would draw him level with Julian Draxler in this statistic, with only Youssoufa Moukoko having made more appearances in Europe's elite competition before turning 18 (eight)."
"While Kompany's men have already qualified for the last 16, PSV are fighting for a place in the play-offs. The Red and Whites are currently in 22nd position, which would see them through to the knockout play-off stage. However, anything other than three points could see them facing elimination, so there's no question Peter Bosz's men will be going all out for the win on Wednesday night."
"One advantage for the home side is that they have the most efficient attacking player in the competition in their ranks. In just 184 minutes, Couhaib Driouech has contributed three goals and two assists. The Morocco international has therefore been directly involved in a goal every 37 minutes - the best figure of any player who's completed at least 90 minutes in this Champions League season. Jonathan Tah and Co will certainly need to keep an eye on him."
Lennart Karl has three goals in five Champions League appearances and could make his sixth appearance before his 18th birthday, equalling Julian Draxler; only Youssoufa Moukoko has made more pre-18 appearances (eight). Bayern face PSV, with Kompany's side already qualified for the last 16 while PSV fight for a play-off place. The Red and Whites occupy second position, which would secure a knockout play-off berth, but they need three points to avoid elimination and will press for a win. Couhaib Driouech has three goals and two assists in 184 minutes, averaging a goal involvement every 37 minutes, making him the competition's most efficient attacker.
