European Football Best Bets - September 13 & 14

Bayern Munich will feel they have a real point to prove at the weekend as they were held in a supremely frustrating 0-0 draw by Schalke. Following on from a comfortable 5-1 win over Stuttgart, their inability to breach Schalke's defence was a huge shock. In all German competitions, Bayern have seen both sides score in three of their last four, and I predict that Bayern will win despite failing to keep a clean sheet. 

PSG's league season has started in incredibly poor fashion. A pair of 2-2 draws with Rennes and Lille have been followed by a 2-1 loss to Monaco. Two points from a possible nine means PSG are already seven behind Monaco at the summit. While the season is very young, PSG will know that allowing the gap between themselves and the top to continue to increase could give them a real headache at the business end of the campaign. Fortunately for PSG, they got back to winning ways in the Champions League in midweek. Their statement 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava saw the best side in Europe fill their boots with goals, and I back a first league win to come on the road in their fourth game.
