Do you remember last season how quickly Stuttgart were able to get to the top of the German Bundesliga table and they were able to mange to stay there for quiet some time but didn't get to win the trophy but importantly they got people surprised which set the pace for them to have a champions league appearance but in the champions league they haven't been doing so well and this includes in their domestic league and i don't see this as enough to write them off immediately but keeping hope alive, they are definitely going to get better before the end of the season even if not in the champions league.

Stuttgart has not been very consistent this season, but I wouldn't write them off just yet. They're unpredictable and, on a good day, they can really play a quality football.
Bayern is, of course, a big favourite, and betting on Stuttgart you could get odds of x7.0, but let's not forget that Stuttgart has won their last clash, beating Bayern 3-1 (in May), so it's not impossible they could do it again. However, Bayern hasn't lost to Stuttgart at home since 2018 and home advantage could be a big factor here.

Well judging the upcoming matches with the past head-to-head  results might not really work this time around but might still give impression on how possible history repeating though it might not seem logical judging by their current performance  compared ... yet it's still useful.
Currently, everyone just giving their speculation about how things might turn out for the match ahead but we need to consider that Barcelona game is gonna be a rough ride throughout the week, if secilla doesn't give too much tough time then I believe taking Bayern shouldn't be that hard for Barcelona  yet they still need to consider their future game against Realmadrid so the decisions might want to create a loop hole for Bayern penetrative, I believe Hansi is in charge and he might as well handle it but the game is still totally hard to predict

Yeah, that's true. Since Bayern Munich has failed to win Aston Villa in the Champions League they will ensure they win Stuttgart. I can conveniently tell you that Stuttgart's performance is no match to Aston Villa and that is one good reason they won't win or draw Bayern Munich. One thing I noticed with Bayern is that they believed the Bundesliga belongs to them this season, so they dont take any chances of losing when they play. It's better to lose one trophy and win another. With the way they are performing, I dont think they can win the UCL. There is a bigger hope for them in the Bundesliga. This means they have to give more concentration in the Bundesliga than they do in the UCL.

Depends on the gambling site. It's always worth checking a few to get the best ones.
For example, Duelbits tend to have higher rates for underdogs than any other sites. I've just checked and the odds for Barcelona Vs Bayern are as follows:
Barcelona: x2.05
Draw: x4.00
Bayern: x3.10

Surely it will be an interesting game. Lewandowski has been performing really well recently and I wonder if he'll manage to score against his former club.

Each gambling site will provide different odds and can even change as the match time approaches. For me, this match will be quite tough because the two teams are currently the teams leading the standings in the domestic league so they will perform better in this match. In this meeting, Barcelona will be the host and it will benefit them to perform better with the support of their fans. Moreover, Barcelona in the previous match managed to win when they faced Young Boys so that victory will be a good capital when they face Bayern Munich.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich is experiencing a decline in their performance because in the Bundesliga where they failed to win when facing Frankfurt and also in the Champions League they were defeated by Aston Villa.
Even so, these two teams are still focusing their energy on the domestic league because there is still one match they will face in the domestic league before their meeting in the Champions League.

It's 2.23 odds for Barcelona and 2.87 odds for Bayern Munich.
The fact that Barcelona are playing at home is an advantage to them. They were lucky enough to have this tough fixture at home and play Red Star which is not that difficult away.


The two teams are similar in the sense that they both have new managers who have managed to do spectacular things so far, but I believe Barcelona are in better form than Bayern Munich. The difference is Bayern have experienced players while most of the Barcelona starting 11 are inexperienced kids.
Barcelona have gotten a new goalkeeper in Scczesny, so they can use him in the Champions League as well. Players like Olmo, Gavi and Frenkie have all returned from injury and even though Olmo will be the only one among them that will start, they will do well as quality squad depth.
The way I see it, Barcelona has an opportunity to win this game and take all 3 points. they just have to defend well and score their chances.

Do you know what odds the bookies are offering in the Barcelona vs Bayern Munich match?
Maybe there is a big difference in terms of odds?

Hansi Flick is smart in his strategy but we don't know how far he will win with this tough Bayern Munich, especially Barcelona has a major player injured from the goalkeeper of course this affects him a little and we know the dominance of the attack will be more from Bayern Munich so there is still a possibility of Barcelona playing defense.

Of course this will be a difficult match to guess. H2H does not guarantee anything once again Barcelona are now in pretty good form.

Barcelona and Bayern Munic and indeed every other team in that category do not really care about home or away because they can win any team at anywhere. I don't think home advantage will play a role in the match. However, I still agree with you that Barcelona stand a better chance of winning the match than Bayern Munic when you look at their recent forms. But by their past record, Barcelona have not been so lucky with Bayern Munic as they always suffer terrible disgrace from them. I think Barcelona have conceded one of their higher goals in champions league from Bayern Munic which shows that Munic is doing pretty well when it comes to playing against Barcelona. Going by this, the match is seriously uneasy to predict.

Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona have weak defense, but just as you said, they have sharp attackers. The only difference i am seen in the two teams is the maturity of their players, if not they both have good players and the match will be an interesting one because Bayern will want to keep their winning record against Barcelona, and due to the fact that Bayern lost to Aston Villa, they will do their best to get the three points, which will be difficult because Barcelona also have good squad that can defeat Bayern Munich as well.
While placing bet on this game, I will bet the game over 3.5 because I trust all their attackers and we can see plenty goals in the game.

I agree with you that the past results of the matches between these two teams should not be considered as our reference. Bayern Munich is undoubtedly ahead in head-to-head matches. Munich have won all of their last 6 Champions League matches against Barcelona. And out of the last 11 matches, Munich have won 9 matches and Barcelona have won only 2 matches.

Munich ahead in statistics. But I'd say Barcelona have to go ahead considering recent performances. Barcelona performed well in the last match against Young Boys. At the same time, the top spot in La Liga is still held by Barcelona. We have seen very strong performances from Barcelona in home matches. On the other hand, Bayern Munich's performance is a bit weak at the moment. We have seen a very strong performance from this team at the beginning of the season. But Munich failed to win in the last three matches. So I highly doubt if Munich can win against Barcelona.

Although in H2H, Munich is far superior, but for me the new coach that Barcelona currently has has intelligence in the strategy that will be used. In my opinion Barcelona is currently missing an injured goalkeeper and this is one of the weaknesses that Munich can exploit. On the one hand in terms of player quality, Bayern Munich has more qualified players and there is no other choice for Hansi Flick except to use a defensive strategy to try to hold the match to a draw.

Barcelona is better in both attack and defense compared to last season. It's a good matchup, and Barcelona is the team that will win this matchup in my opinion. They are both in the same place in the Champions League standings, so they have one win and one loss, which means that both teams are bad defensively.

Lewandowski has been in great form lately, he scored three goals in his last match, and I have no doubt that he will score when he gets the chance in this match.

If we should judge based on Barcelona performance recently, I would say Barcelona are the favourites in this match, and aside from that, Barcelona will be playing at home, so definitely I think they should be favourites this time around.

Forget about their previous clash when Bayern Munich were winning them. I think this season Barcelona have also improved in performance, although I can't compare La Liga with the Champions League competition, but seriously, I will give Barcelona a higher chance of winning the match. So definitely they will do everything in their power to win the match, so obviously we can’t use their history to judge what will happen next in their match.

Considering the result of Barcelona vs Bayern Munich head-to-head match, Bayern Munich team should be ahead in this match. However, in football, the favorite team cannot always be selected by considering the statistics. Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona are very strong teams.

 But one important thing is that we have not seen Bayern Munich team play well in the last few matches. Munich share points with Leverkusen and Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Munich was defeated in an away match against Aston Villa in the Champions League match. So it will be very difficult for Munich to win the away match against Barcelona. Also let's not forget that the coach of Barcelona is now Hansi Flick. Hansi Flick has a good idea of ​​Munich's overall gameplay.

IMO, what I doubt about Barcelona is their goalkeeper, Inaki Pena, his performance is difficult to be sure whether it is stable or underperforming. For the defense line, at least Kounde, Balde and his colleagues in the defense line are not easy to penetrate. In addition, there are two pivots who will go up and down to help attack and defend. I am not sure about Casado's performance, but so far he has always been the main starter. However, if De Jong fully recovers from his injury, maybe he can be paired with Pedri. Olmo, Gavi, have the potential to be played in the second half. The rest are other core players. Meanwhile, in the Bayern Munich camp, Musiala, Stanisic and were absent from the 3rd week of the Champions League group stage. One more thing, under Kompany's guidance, Harry Kane is not very aggressive in scoring goals. There were 4 goals in this competition, when they played against Manaco. However, that does not mean Bayern will not play well even though it is an away game. Kompany is certainly aiming for full points over Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, Flick who understands Bayern Munich very well has the potential to break the dominance that in several matches has always defeated Barcelona. another advantage, Barca acts as the home team. this match, we will really look forward to.

The history of meetings between the two teams cannot be used as a reference. but sometimes by chance the history of meetings can keep repeating itself. Because every time Barcelona faces Bayern, they will definitely think about not losing in this meeting. But then they came back and lost again within a few seasons.

But there is indeed a difference for this season when talking about Barcelona. Because Hansi Flick has succeeded in making Barcelona's playing style fresher now. With so many young players in our Barcelona squad, Barcelona has become a team that is difficult for us to predict. But I think I like their style of play more at the moment. I hesitate to bet on either team winning this match. Because a draw can also happen.

Right. The strategy of that team was  not good and they did not work on their defense system and they have to work on these weaknesses. With these weaknesses,they will be low competitor in next matches. Ekitike was the player who changed the side of the game and he took advantage of the chance and he did goal in this match. Now ,Bayern Munich is very strong team of this tournament and that team have to learn from  their mistakes if they to maintain their position . Eintracht Frankfurt team is also good team and players if that team are very hard working players which want to play in next marches and always try to give hundred percent in the matches.

For now, Barcelona as the host will indeed have quite the advantage. Because mentally the Barcelona squad should be more favored because they are playing at home. even though you said you don't need to look at the history of meetings between these two teams to judge their upcoming match. But still, the head to head between these two teams is very interesting to discuss. because Barcelona always loses when they meet Bayern. Both in home and away matches over the past few seasons. And the last time Barcelona won against Bayern was in 2015. And yes, that was a long time ago. And it's possible that in the end Barcelona will win again in this meeting after always losing for so long. Because I see that Barcelona's current style of play is quite different thanks to Hansi Flick. So the meeting between these two teams this time seems to be more difficult to predict. I might prefer to just favor the home team.

Bayern Munich has not loss any of there Bundesliga matches from there home but they loss only one from this champions league, so Stuttgart does not have the capacity to break that record for Bayern Munich on there domestic league and besides with the strength of Stuttgart the clubs they are even supposed to be playing with is Mainz or FC Heidenheim because we can only equate there performance with this two clubs but for Bayern Munich is like a mission impossible for them and it seems Stuttgart is even about to loss two different league matches because after they play with Bayern Munich they will be facing Juventus and they will also be ready for Stuttgart on this champions League so I feel bad for them because those matches are very close and after battling with Bayern Munich they may not really regain back there energies to play with Juventus again.
