Barcelona v Bayern Preview
Barcelona’s Form
For a side which was so dominant for the best part of two decades, the clubs has seen themselves struggle in recent years following the departure of club legend Messi and a mass exodus and/or ageing of his supporting cast accompanied by a myriad of financial issues Their struggles recently in a sense weren’t surprising exactly surprising but this year they look back to their competitive best currently leading La Liga by 3 points.
They opened their Champions League disappointingly though with a 2-1 defeat away to Monaco. Their campaign was put on the right track in their next game with a 5-0 hammering of Young Boys. This is their toughest game of the league phase so a positive result here would be huge.
Barcelona can never be ruled out at home and that defeat to Monaco came away.

Bayern’s Form
Before last season Bayern dominated the Bundesliga winning 11 consecutive titles but in 23/24 they were undone to the fairytale story of Bayer Leverkusen led by Xabi Alonso landing their first league title. That prompted them to sign the likes of Olise, Paulinha and Ito for a net spend of €-67.65m this summer. It seemed to do the trick too with them back leading the Bundesliga on goal difference 7 games into the season ahead of Leipzig.
They opened their Champions League journey with a comprehensive 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb which gave a good sign for their early credentials. However, that was followed by a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa and though they’re one of the tougher tasks around it means a loss here and they could be scrambling for points with the likes of Benfica and PSG to play.
Bayern are a good side and are well capable of continuing their good run of form against Barcelona.

Key Players To Watch
Robert Lewandowski – Barcelona
The veteran Polish striker is returning to the club he spent 8 years at from 2014-2022 and in his debut season for Barcelona in 23/24 he finished with a tally of 26 goals and 9 assists from 49 games in all competitions.
This year he’s reacquainted himself with manager Hansai Flick and the scoring streak has continued with 14 goals and 2 assists in 12 games in 24/25. He is 4/1 to score first in this game and 21/20 to score anytime.
Harry Kane – Bayern Munich
Despite a red-hot first season for Bayern since signing from Tottenham last season 44 goals and 12 assists in 45 games was ironically not enough to land Bayern any trophy despite their previous Bundesliga dominance.
Kane has similarly started 24/25 with 13 goals and 6 assists from 10 games. Harry Kane is 9/2 to score first and 11/10 to score anytime.
Barcelona v Bayern Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Barcelona 1-1 Bayern
Barcelona under Hansi Flick have seemingly inserted themselves back into the picture of potential Champions League contenders this season though this game will be a serious litmus test to where they stand.
Bayern went trophyless last season, a strange occurrence for the club and though it’s at an early stage this year the signs look to be brighter that Kane will finally win an elusive trophy but if they lose here they could be in a little bit of trouble.
There’s never been a draw in a game between both sides and I think we’re on course to have one on Wednesday.
Best Bet: Draw @ 14/5
