Still dreaming of qualifying for the round of 16, Barcelona welcomes Bayern Munich this Wednesday afternoon (26), at 16:00 (Brasilia time), at Camp Nou, for the penultimate round of the Champions League group stage.
With four points won in Group C, Barcelona are behind leaders Bayern, with 12, and already qualified, in addition to Inter Milan, which has seven. Thus, to guarantee a spot in the next phase, the Catalan team not only need to win the duel against the Bavarians and Plzen, but also root against the Italians in the last two rounds.
For the decisive confrontation, coach Xavi will not be able to count on Sergi Roberto, who dislocated his shoulder during the 4-0 victory over Bilbao. Thus, Héctor Bellerin can start as a full-back.
On the other hand, Bayern, already guaranteed to the round of 16, seek to maintain their 100% success in the UCL. Mane can lead the front line, with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry supporting, and Jamal Musiala as the number 10 of the Bavarians.
Barcelona are strong playing at home
The Barcelona team manages to impose itself as home team, and is undefeated playing in its stadium this season, with five wins and two draws, and now more than ever it needs the support of the crowd, as the situation is not good for the Champions League. .
Bayern Munich in good form
The Bayern Munich team has a very strong squad, and this has been reflected on the pitch, as the team has not lost in seven matches, with six wins and one draw, in addition, it is the runner-up in the Bundesliga, and already guaranteed qualification in the Champions League for the next phase.
Over 2.5 goals: with both teams hitting the net and looking to win, the match tends to end with more than 2.5 goals. Also, in terms of goals, there is a big difference between the two teams.
That’s because so far, the Catalan team has been leaked seven times and scored eight, while Die Roten have scored 13 times and have only conceded two goals.
