- Bayern Munich has won seven out of the last 11 matches they’ve played against Barcelona
- Barcelona has been unbeaten since the start of the 2022/23 season
- They’ve scored more than 2.5 goals in their last five matches
Group C Top Contenders
Group C has some of the top contenders for the title this season. With Inter, Bayern, and Barca competing for the top two spots in the group, we can expect it to be an exciting group that would see some of the best players go head-to-head for three points and a chance in the knockout phase.
We expect the teams to bring their A-games, which we saw in the first round of games, as they went on to fight for the available three points.
Bayern Munich saw off Inter in their first match as they won 2-0, and Barcelona also did justice to Viktoria Plzen when they won 5-1 against the Czech republic team.
Chances to Make the Next Round
We can expect the teams to want their chances of making it to the next round to continue as they play the second game in the group.
This game should be exciting as we’ve always had whenever Bayern and Barcelona meet. In that case, let’s check out both teams and give our predictions using Bayern Munich vs Barcelona odds and preview.

It doesn’t surprise that Bayern Munich is the favorite to win this tie. Even though the Barcelona team seems rejuvenated, Bayern Munich is still a solid team to play in the UEFA Champions League.
Their formidable attack is up there with the best teams on the continent.

Bayern Munich
The last Bayern Munich lost a match; it was in a friendly match against Manchester City. The team has since been unbeaten, winning some and drawing others.
They’ve played well and gotten good results since the start of the new season. This is reflected in their first match against Internazionale.
In a well-managed match, the team won the game against Inter by 2-0. They kept control of the game from the start to the end.
Leroy Sane opened the scoring in the 29th minute to give Bayern their much-needed lead. In the second half, an own goal from Danilo D’Ambrosio doubled their lead.
Bayern Munich Increased Chances
Winning that game has increased their chances of finishing well in this group. They would be determined to go all out against Barcelona as it is an added advantage if they can add another three points to this game.
Bayern Munich at the Standings
The Bayern Munich standings in Group C would change, and they would be closer to getting into the next round. Julian Neglsmann would determine that his team fights hard from start to finish.
It would help if they could get more points in this game as they are playing against the other top contender in the group.
It would help if they could win the game to increase their chances of making it.
Barcelona
Barcelona’s start to the season was also epic and triumphant. They won their first game and earned all three points when they played Viktoria Plzen.
Winning 5-1 in that game saw them sit in the first position in the group. The only problem is that the Barcelona odds are not massive, and compared to Bayern, the gap is wide.
Barcelona has rejuvenated their game plan under Xavi and has been getting incredible records for quite some time now.
After playing almost ten games, they are currently unbeaten and would be a top contender for the trophy.
Barcelona’s Matchups Not Will Be the Same
The first game has increased their chances, and we don’t think this match would go like the last three.
After the 5-1 win against Barcelona, we saw them thump Cadiz on the weekend. They’ve become a formidable team with their incredible squad depth.
The coach decided to rest some players for the game, and they were dominant throughout the game, and when others came in, they scored more.
Expectations for Barcelona
Barcelona has become an exciting team to watch this season, and they might just break from playing second fiddle to Bayern Munich.
It would help them do better than the last season. In that case, we expect this to be one of the team’s chances to show that they’ve arrived and it’s not a mere fluke.
Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona Pick and Prediction
Both Champions League teams are European rivals and have faced each other many times. They’ve been enemies for many seasons, as they’ve gone on to meet in different stages of the UCL.
Undoubtedly, both sides have mutual respect, and the better side usually wins the tie when they face each other.
With both teams on a good run and in form, it would be a tough match to predict. They both have what it takes to push for three points and would benefit greatly from winning the game.
In that case, we expect a tight match from both sides when they face off at a familiar ground in Munich.
Bayern Munich is the favorite to win, and because they are at home, plus their recent head-to-head result, we can’t deny that this is not a surprise.
Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona 2022-23 Different Play
However, we can’t judge Barcelona based on previous records. They are a different team now. So, we expect them to play differently.
As a result, one of our soccer picks for this tie is a 2-2 draw, as we expect both teams to go at it and get goals in the end.
Also, according to the Bayern Munich vs Barcelona odds, we don’t expect Bayern Munich to lose. So, our other pick would be Home Team Double Chance.
UEFA Pick: Draw (+333)
