Barcelona vs Bayern Munich 26.10.2022

The excitement of European football returns this week as Barcelona tackle Bayern in one of the stand-out fixtures. For Barca, this is a crucial fixture given their quest to avoid successive UCL group stage exit. To salvage their last 16 hopes, Xavi’s men must emerge victorious against table toppers Bayern. Heading into this fixture, Barca’s confidence will be bolstered by victories over Villareal and Bilbao. With 7 goals and a clean sheet in the last 2 games, Barca seem to have overcome their initial wobble. Hence, they will hope this newfound form counts for something here.

For Bayern, having already qualified, this game is just an avenue to prove their mettle as one of the favorites to clinch this year’s title. With a dominant display in their last 4 games, Nagglesmann’s men are on a 100% record so far, earning themselves a well-deserved position at the summit of the group. Having won the reverse fixture 2-0, Bayern will be looking to do a double over Barca and maintain their 100% start to this season’s UCL.

Looking at what is at stake for Barca and Bayern’s all-around prowess, we expect an attacking game with at least 2 goals scored in the opening half.
