Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona is set to face off in the Champions League on Tuesday, with both teams looking to secure a victory. Team news and match previews for the game have been released, and it promises to be an exciting match.
In recent seasons, the Bundesliga side has dominated this match-up, winning 3-0 at home and away last season and an 8-2 quarter-final victory two years ago.
Much has changed since then for Barcelona, with Xavi’s team appearing better than they have in a long time. This has been aided by the addition of Robert Lewandowski, who has had nine goals in six appearances since joining in the summer and will be eager to score against his previous team.
On Tuesday, Barcelona will face familiar group-stage opponents Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
On Tuesday, Bayern Munich will host Barcelona in their second group stage match in the 2022-23 Champions League. Both teams are unbeaten in their respective domestic divisions and will be eager for a big win after the German club won both encounters last year.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona Predictions:
The Law of the Ex is unbreakable: a great player ALWAYS scores against his former club in a big game, and I have a feeling Lewandowski will have a tremendous night at the Allianz Arena one final time: 2-2 draw, game for the ages, great performances from both teams, and a Lewy Double.
Betting choice & prediction for Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona:
These lines don’t make sense just by looking at them. Barcelona has pounded everyone in their path since a scoreless draw in La Liga play to start the season, while Bayern Munich has struggled in domestic action.
Bayern are particularly struggling defensively, and while the offense is among the finest in the world, it hasn’t been able to compensate for the shortcomings at the back.
Backing Barcelona at the current odds could be a wise move as they attempt to seize control of a harsh Group C that has suddenly become available.
Barcelona moneyline (+310 at Caesars) is my pick.
Bayern Munich will defeat Barcelona 1-3.
