I  think both teams are good teams and last matches performance of  
Barcelona team is comparatively good and they won 4 match out of 5 matches and according to this their performance is 80 percent. Bayern team won only 2 matches from last 5 matches and they face two draw matces and they lose 1 match. If we will see the both teams performance against each other, they will  judge that Bayern team is most favorite team  for that match and they will win this match. And I am also supporting Bayern Munich team. Bayern Munich team has capability to win in any situation because they have good players which can perform in any situation.

Sometimes most of these big ups so underestimate the smaller ones they are playing against they are always found of doing something like that and when you have already underestimated them then how do you even subdue or even make them submit during the play their are a lot of challenges. Kompany just came to Bayern and they are already feeling like is the one rescuing the club from their misery because their performance last season was not okay last season at all.

I notice that kompany will do will and he wants a lot of people should trust him because of how people were skeptical about bringing him, he wants to do is job right, and he keeps improving the performance of the club for now, Aston Villa is another stubborn club, everything in this champions league just look totally different so we can not assume anything now.

That is likely to be the case but the difference may lie in Flick being the new skipper for Barcelona at the moment. Although it does not rule out the possibility that Bayern can still be Barcelona's biggest threat for 3 points, Flick's presence in the Barcelona squad will certainly provide a good boost for them, especially since Flick is not new to Bayern so that Flick's situation allows him to know what he has to do especially seeing the Bayern squad there are still some players in the Flick era still playing today even though not entirely so he will definitely anticipate all possibilities from the start.

At the moment I think Bayern can still be a difficult scourge for Barcelona because they always seem troubled when facing Bayern in almost every time they meet so it is quite natural for now the fans' concerns are growing again. But as long as this match has not taken place, Barcelona still has a chance for now so that they can win just waiting for how it will be realised in 90 minutes of normal matches.

Looking at the h2h the last time Barcelona won was in the 2015 season, meaning it's been almost a decade they couldn't win against Bayern when they met in the Champions League so there is no need to feel too surprised when Bayern are still favorites for this match.

But looking at the odds there is actually not like that especially Barcelona playing home which makes their probability slightly increase in terms of odds because they will play at Camp Nou even though in the last few meetings Camp Nou has been like a playground for Bayern but the bookmakers will slightly increase the odds of Barcelona as favorites in this match.
However, I am still quite confused when it comes to betting for now because some of my thoughts are starting to branch out now especially with Flick and Kompany as coaches because this could indirectly doubt me in betting even though I previously leaned more towards Bayern in the context of the bets provided.

No one is saying an experience  can make a team win easily but experience will surely put them ahead even before the game, they might not have it easy but there's always a hope of winning . Let's take Mancity for example, what did you notice after Pep Guardiola joined the club?? they won their first UCL doesn't that ring a bell about experience.
I'm not actually saying they will win their upcoming game easily (Barca) but I think they would and at the same time Flick is going to be facing his Former club(he should definitely know the playing pattern), that's actually my thought towards this game.

You are right that experience matters in this match but don’t you think that even Bayern Munich players also have experience for their long time in the competition also, they do qualify every year and they get to have that experience no matter how little. Even if their coach Vincent Kompany is not that experienced to put them through, they can at least be able to show some better quality in the match because of their vast experience. Hanso Flick may be experienced but playing against a team like Bayern Munich does not give him guarantee that he can win easily. I think the match is going to be a very tough and even one and we can’t really tell which team can prevail at at this point.

The image you quoted seem too big and may distracting, so set the size to smaller so it looks better. Just a advice.

Barcelona are favorites based on these odds, but that doesn't mean they can actually win the match. Bayern Munich is certain to give their best as ever, but bookmakers are starting to doubt it. Kompany has basically proven his team is a strong team, but he is still doubtful against a strong team like Barcelona.

Munich's performance against Barcelona in their previous matches has been very good. Barcelona have won very few matches against Munich. Barcelona's past performances against Munich have been very poor. But this season, Barcelona has a chance to win. Because with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona is very strong this season. Barcelona are at the top of the La Liga table. At the same time, the team played well against Young Boys in the last match of the Champions League. I think Barcelona will try their best to win against Munich. And Barcelona has a chance to win this match.

That's the beauty of the game, sometimes such surprises are inevitable because some of these smaller teams can be very difficult to subdue especially when you try to underestimate them. Bayern Munich have had a good run under Vincent kompany and I have no doubt that they are going to continue to improve under his leadership and it is also important to reiterate the fact that they would to face a lot of difficult circumstances along the line just as they did against Aston villa as the season progresses both in the champions league and in the German bundesliga.

The trend and attention this match is carrying made me to have several toghts about the match despite the stats of Bayern been always the winning team against Barcelona in their last five matches that I have seen; it might end up been a game of how well experience your manager is which might favor Barcelona because Hensi Flick have more experience than Vincent Kompany. Barcelona might end up winning this match.

The match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be the same as before. Barcelona fans have always been disappointed because of Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. Previous history is a witness to this that Barcelona did not even weaken Bayern Munich in the UCL with out the MSN era. Apart from this, Barcelona has not defeated Bayern Munich in the same way as Bayern Munich has defeated Barcelona in the last 12 years. So for me this match doesn't matter at all Bayern Munich has always been dominant. Barcelona's Uefa Champion League status has been poor against Bayern Munich. Barcelona's recent fixture has had a good conclusion, but the Uefa Champion League is a tough competition in which winning a few matches does not mean that the same club will become the champion. To become a champion, a competitive team is needed and that is the only European king, the greatest Real Madrid, which has the competence to defeat every club, not just Bayern Munich. However, we will see the match to see who will be the winner.

I honestly saw it coming when it coming when 70 or 75 minutes in the game they didn't score despite the way the game went. This is typical for them sometimes. It is treacherous as they seem to be in control, but all of that is worthless if they can't put the ball into the back of the net. After all Aston Villa is a great team from the Premier League and this means they can score despite being under pressure. This is why this ball possession game without scoring is the most dangerous thing teams can do. 11 corners for Bayern Munich and they got nothing out of it. Then it made boom and the game was over.

I recall in the season 22/23 when Bayern played at home against Barcelona, they won the game 2-0. But this was lucky because Lewandowski missed a huge chance and they had more than just one chance. If they scored first, the game would have most likely ended otherwise. That way it looked solidly played by Bayern Munich.

I don't think that Barcelona will leave a lot of chances on the table this time and this will male life hard for Bayern Munich. You can easily tell that Lewandowski wants to prove to the world and to his former club that he is still one of the best.

Here is the list of the games we are going to have next week.  

It is going to be the third game week in the league phase. We are nearly halfway through it. But not yet because of having 8 games instead of 6 from now on...

When it comes to the games, Real Madrid - Dortmund gets my attention right away on the first day.    It is like the rematch of the last Champions League finale. I think Real Madrid will win by a close score such as 2-1. What do you say? Will it be a revenge time by Dortmund?

On the other day, the biggest game is obviously Barcelona - Bayern Munich. I have already stated my opinion. I hope not to see Barcelona losing this time. Who knows, maybe even a win to break this bad streak?  

Seriously this two teams have been European finest teams this season so it would be a very interesting match between them two. Both have lost one match in this champions league with the new phase now I think the both teams must at all cost win. The pressure seems to be the same although for Barcelona they have their reputation at stake in this match. If there is any Teams that needs to trash Barcelona it is them seriously. They have suffer humiliation from them on numerous occasions and a revenge will be great most importantly in the face of their fans.

Comparing both team players I will say Bayern Munich have a superior squad compared to the Laliga leaders. The striker comparisons we have Lewandowski for Barcelona and then Harry Kane for Bayern Munich, I think Harry Kane edges ahead on the current form, comparing wingers only Yamal has the number to go head to head with the Bayern Munich wingers. Overall I see Bayern Munich been a superior in the match, but Barcelona have been consistent and could make it through the game and take the three points

You are right about the course of the two matches, the defeats in question clearly have their own reasons. Barcelona probably wouldn't have lost the match against Monaco if they had 11 players on the pitch, but unfortunately the referee forced them to play with 10 players from the moment the red card was given. In this match, Barcelona proved that they also have good strength not to concede more goals in the second half than their 11 aggressive opponents. But clearly, it was a tiring match.

H2H is not always important in analyzing each team's chances of winning the next match, for me it is just data that may not be completely ignored. Teams that have a good record will usually be able to play matches without much burden, while teams that have a bad record will have the burden of stopping their bad record. Sometimes that's why Barcelona always loses against Bayern Munich, even some former Bayern Munich players have directly underestimated Barcelona.

Of course, Barcelona is expected to be able to give their best against Bayern Munich in the Champions League this season, after all, it is a home match which can help them appear with good confidence. This match will be very interesting to look forward to, if Barcelona wins then it will be good capital ahead of El Clasico.

Why do you assume Barcelona is below other European teams? Barcelona has quality players, Yamal is just one of the key players of Barcelona. Yamal is a very young player but he could contribute much for Barcelona. Although Yamal has no much experience in UCL, Yamal has a very explosive power. Whenever he is in Barcelona lineup, he very often showed the difference. Moreover, Barcelona has Lewandowski who is very experience in UCL. Lewandowski could be the player that possibly brings the change in the match, too. With these great players, it is quite strange that you assume Barcelona is in the lower level compared with other teams.  

No doubt Real Madrid has many star players but many of them are injured now. Meanwhile there are 3 Dortmund players only who got injured. In this situation, Dortmund has the advantage because they can easily determine the lineup. It is very different with Real Madrid, they will be difficult to determine the lineup because they lose some key players. In this situation, I'm not sure that Real Madrid will beat Dortmund.

I see a home game is Barcelona's only advantage. Their squad is not much better than their opponent's. But to call that if Bayern is being slightly favored in this game doesn't meet the reality. The latest odds still slightly favor them over Munich to win the game. And they probably get one or three points from Munich soon.


I can't really use the past result to determine the outcome in the upcoming game. Bayern looked far superior in term of head to head compared to the Barcelona, but let's not for get these things. They have different squad, coach, and staff. So, it's greatly impacting their performance against Barcelona.

They're not at their prime. I believe they'll struggle to beat Barcelona with Hansi Flick on their opponent's side.

Both teams have productive front lines and strong defenses. Of course, the match will be difficult to predict. Seeing the position of both in the Champions League standings is also interesting.
Both will need victory points, Barcelona may have a better chance. But a draw also has a big chance of happening. I haven't decided on a bet either, maybe when the match starts I will make a bet. Maybe there will be the latest news after the international break from the players of both teams.

Does that guarantee? It is not entirely true because even though Flick finally has experience in the German league even at Bayern, it does not mean that he can make this an advantage against Bayern because what can be seen at this time is that they excel only because they play at home the rest cannot be said to be special.
It is undeniable that there is little hope when Flick is at Barcelona and faces Bayern, which is not a new club he knows because he has been there for a long time but that does not mean this makes them stronger because in the end the situation is not much different from the previous era where the 90-minute game will determine whether Barcelona can change their fate or will return to the same as before where they are helpless when facing Bayern in the match later.


The change of coach and players is actually not too striking for both players because in previous meetings in the Xavi and Tuchel era there were only a few additions such as Dani Olmo for Barcelona or Olise for Bayern, the rest has not changed in terms of players although maybe in terms of the scheme will be the difference in this match because both clubs have new coaches and certainly the scheme will be a little different in the match later.
But in the end everything remains difficult to guess and speaking of both teams scoring I think it can still be done even though it is undeniable that in the last few matches in the previous era Barcelona could not do that maybe in the Flick era with a fairly good goal productivity so far this might be the difference.

Looking at their success last season in reaching the final, of course it is true that Dortmund has great potential to advance to the final again, but I think for now it is clear that it looks a bit difficult because however Dortmund inconsistency this season I think is quite severe, if Dortmund is still coached by Edin Terzic, of course Dortmund has a chance to surprise us again,  But I think we all know that Nuri Sahin is not a coach who has better skills than Edin Terzic in facing big matches so far, indeed Dortmund is still undefeated in the UCL but we can see that the opponent they are facing is not a strong team, so indeed facing Madrid it is likely that they will get their first defeat later.
