Bayern Munich vs Barcelona. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League 2021-22 (December 8, 2021).

Bayern Munich were the main favourites in Group E before the start of the Champions League, and they fully lived up to the fans' expectations. Julian Nagelsmann's team crushed Barcelona with a score of 3:0 at Camp Nou in the very first game, and in the second round, the Bavarians cruised to victory over Dynamo. They netted five unanswered goals against the Ukrainian team.

Then, Bayern won both games against Benfica with a total score of 9:2, thus securing the first line in the group. After that, they recorded a 2:1 victory over Dynamo in Kyiv. 

Barcelona, on the other hand, have had a difficult campaign so far. Despites all setbacks, the Blaugranas were one of the favourites in their group, and while they had no chance to outplay Bayern, they always could qualify for the playoffs from second place. Currently, Barcelona are occupying the 2nd line with 7 points, however, the 3rd Benfica are only two points behind. A victory in Munich guarantees Barcelona a spot among the last 16, while any other result might send Benfica to the knockouts instead.

Xavi's men have been struggling in La Liga, too. Barcelona are only 7th in the log, and in the last round, they suffered a defeat to Real Betis (0:1).
