Barcelona v Bayern Munich Predictions

The safest bet for this clash will be for both of them to score

This is an old rivalry that has become one-sided. Two of the greatest teams in Europe will go head-to-head at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, as Spanish giants Barcelona will take on German top side Bayern Munich.

Both teams have faced each other 13 times in the UEFA Champions League, with Bayern Munich winning 10 of them, including the famous 8-2 in the COVID-19 year, while Barcelona have won just twice.

Barcelona will be without goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ferran Torres, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo, while Bayern have Sacha Boey, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Josip Stanisic all absent. Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Ito are doubts for the encounter.

Both teams have had good start to the season, sitting top of their respective leagues, but the Catalonians have been better, and are also in better form, winning four of their five games, whereas, Bayern have recorded just two wins in their previous five games. Barcelona are 19^th on the table and Bayern are 18^th.

Based on history, you will want to go for a Bayern Munich win, but based on form, you will want to stick out your neck for Barcelona. The safest bet for this clash will be for both of them to score.
