Barcelona Vs Bayern Munich Prediction, Odds And Team News

Barcelona will return to Champions League action when they host Bayern Munich in a mouthwatering clash at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

The last time Barca and Bayern met, the Bundesliga champions recorded a historic humiliation, thrashing the Catalans 8-2 in a night to forget for the La Liga giants.

The Blaugrana will be desperate to erase the memory of that semi-final defeat with a win tonight, but they face running out for this evening's European clash without six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.

The Argentine, who won the Champions League four times with Barca, will instead bid for European glory with Paris Saint-Germain. Could we see a Barcelona-Messi reunion further down the line?

As a result of his electric pace, Alphonso Davies could bag himself an assist or two for Bayern this evening.

The Canadian left-back, who is often seen bombing forward for the German powerhouses, has already registered two assists so far this campaign - and we're backing him to play a part tonight, too.

So far this season, it's pretty evident that Bayern are getting better following a few competitive games under Julian Nagelsmann's guidance.

With that said Barcelona will need to wary of the fact that Robert Lewandowski and co will head to the Camp Nou having scored a staggering 21 goals in their last three matches.

The 33-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, has scored six Bundesliga goals in four games so far this season - and two of them have been headers.

Martin Braithwaite is set to undergo surgery on a knee problem, so Memphis Depay and Philippe Coutinho may start either side of Luuk de Jong up top.

Jordi Alba has a strong chance of overcoming a knock in time to take his place on the left, but Sergino Dest is out, so Oscar Mingueza or Sergi Roberto will hope to get the nod at right-back.

Bayern are relatively well-stocked for this star-studded affair, with Corentin Tolisso their only confirmed injury absentee for this game after Kingsley Coman was fit enough to make the journey.

Serge Gnabry had to be withdrawn just before half time at the weekend, however, Nagelsmann affirmed that the substitution was precautionary.
