Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Match Preview

Barcelona is ranked in 3rd place in group C with 4 points and comes after a win a draw and two losses so far. It seems they are almost out of the UEFA Champions League after losing on the road against Inter and then not getting past a 3-3 draw at home. Even in case of a win here it would all depend on the result of the game Inter vs Plzen.

With 8 goals scored they have shown a good offensive side averaging two goals per game and now they have all the motivation needed as they host Bayern Munich. They got two big wins in LaLiga 3-0 against Villarreal and 4-0 against Ath Bilbao and this is a much-needed morale boost. Lewandowski has been on fire with 5 goals in the UCL and I would not be surprised to see him punish his ex-team here.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is ranked in 1st place with 12 points and comes in a perfect run after four wins over four games. They have already secured a ticket for the next stage of the UCL so they will play without the pressure of the result here.

With 13 goals scored they have one of the best offensive sides in the UEFA Champions League this season and are averaging more than three goals per game. Sane has been leading their attack with 4 goals - 2 assists but unfortunately, he will miss this duel because of injury. Still, I think with players like Mane 2 goals - 1 assists, Goretzka 2 goals - 3 assists, and Musiala 2 assists they have more than enough quality up front for the visitors.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Barcelona's chances to advance to the next stage are slim but playing at Camp Nou they must give it all to try and grab the three points. Bayern Munich has got a great h2h record against them. Not only did they win the last five encounters but while doing that they scored a total of 19 goals which means almost 4 goals per game.
