The average number of goals in PSV's matches is 4.2, and for Bayern, it's 4.8, indicating high scoring. PSV scores an average of 2.6 goals and concedes 1.6, while Bayern scores 3.8 and concedes 1.

Bayern's scoring peak is in the 46-60 minute period (29%), and they concede most often in the final minutes (76-90 minutes - 45%). This goal profile by both teams supports the expectation of a high-scoring match.
