Barcelona Team News
Much was expected of Barcelona in the Champions League after a great start to the season in the Spanish league, but the Catalans are struggling a lot in Europe. They achieved only one victory and a draw and after four rounds they can be eliminated.
Xavi’s team has an imperative to win this game and if they do not win all three points against the Bavarians, who have already secured passage to the knockout stage, they will have to settle for competition in the UEFA Europa League.
After losing to Real in the great El Clasico (3-1), Barca lost the leading position in La Liga, but managed to win two matches at home, against Villarreal 3-0 and Athletico 4-0. Robert Lewandowski scored three goals in these two matches, and it is expected that he will continue in this rhythm against his former club.
Bayern Munich Team News
On the other hand, Bayern is in second place in the Bundesliga, a point behind leaders Union Berlin, and we can say that they have improved their form in the last month. In the group stage of the Champions League, they are convincing with maximum performance after four rounds and enter this match as a team that has already secured participation in the knockout stage of this competition.
There are four consecutive victories in the series, two of which were in the German championship against Freiburg 5-0 and Hoffenheim 0-2. The Bavarians are such a team that wants to win in every match, and as big favorites to win the Champions League trophy, we believe that they will want to compete with Barcelona in Spain as well.
