Two teams in Group E, Bayern and Barcelona, will conclude their Champions League group stage clash on Wednesday, 8 December 2021. The venue for this crucial encounter is the Allianz Arena in Munich. The match will begin at 23:00 Moscow time.
This match is hugely important for the Catalans, as the team has not yet decided their participation in the play-off round. We hope that, under the prevailing circumstances, our prediction for the Bayern vs Barcelona match will prove useful.
Bayern
The German champions have made an early decision to qualify for the tournament’s spring stage. Julian Nagelsmann’s team is 100% up and 15 points ahead of their encounter with Barcelona. It is hard to believe that Bayern will break the unblemished statistic and lose a game in the last round. The team’s mood is fine. In the Bundesliga championship, Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 away.
Barcelona
The Pomegranate Blues are in a tricky situation ahead of the last round of the group stage. Xavi’s side has seven points and is second in Group E. The rivals, Benfica Lisbon, have 5 points. Only a win against Bayern can guarantee Barcelona a play-off place in second place. What is worrying is the tone of the Catalans’ play. Barça was beaten 0-1 by Betis in their home league game.
Head-to-head statistics
The Bayern and Barcelona teams have played 13 times in official tournaments. In 9 of the games, Bayern won; while Barcelona was victorious in 2 of the matches. A draw was recorded in the other two matches.
Prediction
There is a high probability that the upcoming match will be decided by chance. A win for one of the teams will be minimal. Therefore, our prediction for the Bayern vs Barcelona match is a total/over 2.5.
Probable result – total/over 2.5.
