Today's football picks for 6 May 2026: Analysis of major matches to watch, UCL excitement, and today's football schedule.
On 6 May 2026, today's football picks focus on the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League 2025-26 semi-final second leg between Bayern Munich and the "defending champions" Paris Saint-Germain. After a high-scoring first leg, the winner will be the last team to reach the final. Let's follow the match analysis and preview for this encounter.
- UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg (first leg: PSG won 5-4) / Kickoff at 02:00 GMT+7.
The "Bavarians" narrowed the first-leg deficit from 2-5 to 4-5 but conceded 5 goals in their latest UCL match after 31 years. In their most recent league game, they rested key players in the first half but had to bring them on in the second half to come back for a 3-3 draw against bottom team Heidenheim. In the last 10 meetings with PSG, Bayern still leads with 7 wins and 3 losses. However, in the last 10 UCL semi-final first-leg losses, they have only managed to overturn the deficit and reach the final once. Apart from five injured players, all others including Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Manuel Neuer, and Jamal Musiala are ready to play.
The "defending champions" ended their three-match winning streak after a 2-2 draw with Lorient in their latest Ligue 1 game, though they rested nine regular starters. Although PSG's recent UCL record against Bayern is weaker, in 43 occasions when they won the first leg in this competition, PSG advanced 36 times. Additionally, PSG has won all their last six away games in all competitions, keeping five clean sheets. For this match, key right-back Achraf Hakimi remains injured, but the rest, including Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desiree Doue, and Vitinha, are available. If the defense remains solid, PSG is likely to edge through to the final.
Prediction A high-scoring draw is expected, with PSG advancing to the final.
