"Despite already booking their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, Bayern Munich will not go easy in their final league phase game against PSV, Vincent Kompany said. Bayern travel to Philips Stadion on Wednesday already assured of a top-eight finish after beating Union Saint-Gilloise last time out, and they come into the game with confidence. Kompany's side are the joint-highest scorers in the Champions League this term with 20 goals and also have a strong record against their opponents in the competition."
"Indeed, PSV have lost more games against Bayern (six) than against any other opponent in their European competition history. Their loss percentage is also higher against the Bundesliga giants (75% - 6/8) than any other opponent they have faced on 5+ occasions in the European Cup/Champions League. But despite their strong record versus PSV, Bayern have only won one of their seven away games against Dutch opposition in the Champions League (since 1992-93 - D3 L3) and failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven trips."
Bayern Munich have already secured a place in the Champions League last 16 and remain set to field a competitive side at Philips Stadion. The team is assured of a top-eight finish after beating Union Saint-Gilloise and are joint-highest scorers in the group with 20 goals. Historically, PSV have lost more games to Bayern (six) than to any other European opponent, with a 75% loss rate in those meetings. Bayern’s away record in the Netherlands is poor (one win in seven since 1992-93, no clean sheets). PSV have lost their last two Champions League games but recorded emphatic wins over Liverpool and Napoli, showing pace, counter-attacking threat, and finishing quality.
