Team News

Barcelona
Bayern
  • Barcelona remain without the likes of Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen here.
  • In positive news, though, Gavi made his long-awaited return from injury against Sevilla on Sunday night, while Frenkie de Jong and Fermin Lopez are also available once again.
  • Josip Stanisic, Hiroki Ito and Sacha Boey are confirmed absentees for the visitors.
  • Aleksandar Pavlovic is set for a number of weeks on the sidelines with a broken collarbone, while Jamal Musiala is a doubt, but has returned to full training ahead of this clash.

Prediction

  • The current league leaders in Spain and Germany meet here, in one of the games of the Champions League league phase.
  • Barcelona have made a phenomenal start to life under new boss Hansi Flick - formerly of Bayern - with nine wins from their opening 10 league matches.
  • Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern sit top of the Bundesliga with seven games played, level on points with RB Leipzig.
  • Both sides have won one and lost one in the Champions League so far.
  • We're backing a narrow victory for the hosts here.

  • Both teams to score for sure. If you place a bet on it and you lose then I will refund your money.

  • @Da_Real_Deal i already stake on my house , my car, my Kidney on it dude, and if i lose you will give me your kidney and your car , and your house

  • @Ortega_10 lol...what then happens if he doesn’t have a house and a car?

  • @Kingmatt bet responsibly betting is like politics no trust

  • @Kingmatt lol

  • No no no.... you made a mistake. The 3 things you should risk are, your mortgage, your car and your savings. Not your kidney. How am I going to cover that for you mate? Anyway, when you get your winnings, please don't save it. Risk it all again on Real Madrid vs Barcelona both teams to score again.

  • The battle of the strikers Lewandowski v Kane.

  • Barca DNB @ 1.90 odds.

  • +2.5 & BTTS Yes

  • over 1.5 first half goals

  • over 2.5 goals

  • Individual errors aside, Kompany is proving to be anything but a great manager. Absolutely inane that he got the Bayern job in the first place, simply because high-spending Burnley were the best championship team and an absolutely abomination of a prem side.

  • Hansi Flick is doing a great job so far this season especially with tonights master class.

  • Gonna be bold and say 1st half under 1.5. These two teams are kinda similar in strength, and Bayern has shown signs of struggle in these situations so far this season, especially against Leverkusen and Villa. That said, they should have a solid enough defence to make it difficult to break down.

  • I really don’t see Flick losing this game today. The worst result here for Barca is a draw

  • Unfortunately barcelona dont use the black magic as Real VARdrid do to win matches, Barca play direct football with Flick and i think it will be an open match for both sides, both team to score best option here, All In

  • @Ortega_10 king of betting im all in

  • Bayern vs Barca in this decade: 5 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses. 19-2 goals. Let's see what happens here considering Flick is now with Barca.

  • Another 5 goal contributions for the baca front 3 that makes it 42 in14 matches i think all comps

  • @BEE10 44 my bad

  • LOL @ Kompany as Bayern coach

  • This goalkeeper Pena was very exited to score a goal, therfor he was always neraly in midfield

  • I don't get it yet why 1st goal from Kane was disallowed. However what's a bad UCL campaign for Bayern. Lost to Villains 2 weeks agos, today were crushed from Barsa...should be their weakest beggining in this competition..

  • @dib Villans*

  • 1-1

  • Kane +110 / Lew +120 TSA

  • 2-2

  • Should be an entertaining evening. This could be a repeat of what Real Madrid and Dortmund did last evening. BTTS & o2.5 1.64 is a good odds.

  • Barcelona to win and btts

  • BTTS / O2.5

  • very impressive from Flick, Barceona has a few top-class players and some utter mugs, to compose a team from them all is a sign of a great coach. Bayern is just the opposite, an unproven coach and very good players. I will go for 2-2. Both gk are mediocre.
