Both teams are among the favorites for the CL title and had a good start by earning themselves three points in the difficult Group C at the start of the season. Bayern won at Inter, while Barca did not show any weakness against Viktoria Pilsen. The winner could therefore take the sole lead in the standings and make a step towards the round of 16. We analyzed the match upfront and will present you the current Bayern Munich vs Barcelona sports betting odds and a preview of the game.
Bayern Munich Form-Check
Munich got off to a furious start to the season. Resounding victories in the Supercup and the Bundesliga left the competition in awe. They had a very strong start into the season but however, disillusionment set in for the team from Bavaria during the last weeks within the German Bundesliga. Only three points after the last three games and not one single victory. Currently, they are only ranked third behind Freiburg and Union Berlin. However, things are going better in the Champions League, where they could secure a very important victory against Inter Milan.
The FCB’s “mini-crisis” is whining at a high level, but coach Julian Nagelsmann cannot be completely satisfied. Against Mönchengladbach, Union Berlin (both 1:1), and VfB Stuttgart (2:2), Bayern had one problem in particular: a lack of chances. The defense around newcomer Matthijs de Ligt is also not yet solid. Against the currently strong Barcelona, the German record champion must not allow itself to make mistakes similar to the last one.
Barcelona Form-Check
FC Barcelona had a difficult last season. First the departure of Lionel Messi, then the exit in the preliminary round of the CL. The Spanish championship in La Ligawas also out of reach shortly after the beginning. However, with legend Xavi on the sidelines, Catalonia had a new beacon of hope. Blaugrana invested a lot of money in the summer to get back to the European top.
The transfer of Lewandowski in particular has paid off so far. The former Bayern Munich striker is also scoring at will in Spain. Can he also be crowned top scorer at the 2022 World Cup in this form? Barca has recently won five matches in a row, all with three or more goals. They are definitely up and running. Barca also has a score to settle against Bayern. The 2:8 defeat two years ago has not been forgotten, and the team also lost twice in the preseason. It’s definitely going to be a tough matchup. Let’s have a look at the Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds.
