Bayern Munich

Our Prediction Tip

Bayern Munich will win this match.

Bayern Munich have the better head-to-head record in this fixture, winning six of their ten previous European meetings. This is the first time they have met since the 2014-15 semi-finals, however, when Barcelona’s 3-0 win at the Nou Camp helped them to a 5-3 aggregate win despite Bayern’s second-leg win.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Barcelona and Bayern Munich meet in a heavyweight clash in the Champions League quarter-finals but this match would not have looked out of place as the Final.

The draw was unkind to both, however, meaning only one will progress to the semi-finals, where Lyon or Manchester City lie in wait.

Prior to the competition pausing, both teams were in excellent form but Barcelona’s dried up after lockdown.

They eventually had to settle for second place in La Liga, whereas Bayern Munich just kept winning in Germany.

Bayern, in fact have not lost in 2020 and they have won all but one of the matches they have played. Their winning streak stands at 18 now and Robert Lewandowski is in phenomenal goalscoring form.

Both teams are – one French defender apiece aside – at full strength for this game, and both go into it after decent wins in their last-16 second legs.

Barcelona’s inconsistent form under Quique Setien means they are outsiders for this match, however.

They remain a star-studded team, capable of winning this tournament, and in a one-off match nobody can be written off.
But Bayern Munich are in stunning form, and they are going to take some stopping.

Barcelona Team News

Barcelona have Arturo Vidal back but they could stick with the team that beat Napoli 3-1 in the last match. Only Samuel Umtiti is unavailable. 

Barcelona Key Players

Lionel Messi – Ended the league season with two goals in the win against Alaves and he found the net against Napoli last time out too
Luis Suarez – Still a key part of the Barca attack, despite an injury-disrupted season, he netted from the spot last time out.
Gerard Pique – The hugely experienced centre-back will be key to Barcelona’s hopes of keeping Robert Lewandowski and co quiet.

Barcelona Team Form

After a 5-0 win at the end of the La Liga season – Lionel Messi scoring twice and Ansu Fati, Luis Suarez and Nelson Semedo also netting – they beat Nepal 3-1 to seal their place in these quarter-finals. Clement Lenglet, Messi and Suarez put Barca 3-0 up and they held on to win comfortably.

Barcelona Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 4-3-3

Bayern Team News

Benjamin Pavard misses out with an ankle injury so Bayern could be unchanged from the win against Chelsea – they risked Thiago Alcantara and Joshua Kimmich, despite both players being on yellow cards, but they were not made to regret it.

Bayern Key Players

Robert Lewandowski – Two more goals last time out, after two in the DFB Pokal Final too, means the Polish striker now has 53 goals in 44 appearances. He also set up the two other goals.
Serge Gnabry – Did not add to his 20 goals and 13 assists so far this season in the second leg against Chelsea, but that record speaks for itself.
Thomas Muller – Scored 12 goals so far this season, playing just behind Lewandowski, but he has also supplied an incredible 25 assists.

Bayern Team Form

Bayern Munich have won their last 18 consecutive matches, including beating Chelsea 4-1 in the second leg of their last-16 tie last time out. They have scored four goals in each of their last three competitive games – the final game of the Bundesliga season against Wolfsburg, the DFB Pokal win against Bayer Leverkusen and then victory at Chelsea. Robert Lewandowski scored twice, with Ivan Perisic and Corentin Tolisso scoring in between.

Bayern Munich Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

This heavyweight UEFA Champions League quarter-final pits two of the top teams left in the tournament together. Barcelona go into the game after a below-par end to their La Liga campaign, whereas Bayern’s winning streak should be a cause for optimism. Bayern can reach the semi-final.
Bayern Munich stretched their winning streak to 18 consecutive games when they saw off Chelsea in their last match.
