Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich: Preview and betting tips

The first round of the Champions League is about to get off to a rough start for the two big clubs. Barcelona will welcome Bayern Munich to avenge their last embarrassing 8-2 defeat. However, given the current situation in both teams, a similar result is not out of the question.

Bayern drew 1: 1 with Monchengladbach at the start, but after that the players have resumed their standard form, which means several goals in their opponents’ net. Bremer, who got 12 saves in the cup game, could tell about it.

However, even the teams of Hertha (5::0) and RB Leipzig (4::1) were not spared, and if we then take into account that the Munich team has won all of its last 17 opening matches in the Champions League, moreover with a score of 42::2, we definitely have something to look forward to.

Barcelona have not started badly either, having only lost points in Bilbao (1::1) from the opening 3 league rounds, plus the weekend’s game was cancelled and so Ronald Koeman has plenty of time to get his charges ready.

But Barcelona fans won’t see any of this attacking foursome on the pitch: Martin Braithwaite, Ansu Fati, Sergio Agüero and Ousmane Dembélé. Moreover, they can’t be happy with their record, as Bayern have won 5 out of the last 6 matches.

Another thing is that while the German side is only getting stronger, the Catalans, also due to the current absentees, have without a doubt one of the weakest teams in recent years. On the other hand, they need to play more as a team, which should be their biggest weapon.

However, few people believe that Bayern will lose to Barcelona, and these expectations are matched by the odds on their victory, which are around 2, something that was previously completely unthinkable for the visiting team at Camp Nou. But this is the reality!

However, given the previous stats, I would rather believe that goals will fall again and Over 3 looks very favourable. For those who are convinced of this, Over 3.5 at odds of 2.26 is not out of place.
