Barcelona on the brink of exit

After their draw against Inter Milan on Match Day 4, Barça knew they were likely to exit the Champions League at the group stage for the second season running.

The only hope for Xavi’s side is if Plzeň picks up an unlikely win away to Inter Milan. Plzeň are placed at 27 odds to win at the San Siro, which portrays how difficult it would be to achieve such a feat.

Barcelona are doing well domestically, with their only defeat so far coming in the El Classico against Real Madrid.

Top spot and pride at stake for Bayern Munich

The Bavarians will secure top spot if they win against Barcelona. The German champions have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning eight of the last nine competitive meetings, including the last five.

Bayern have won six of their last seven games across all competitions, and are in top form at the moment.

Bayern to win and Goal-Goal @ 4.05 odds

Booking code: XFZ295

The trend shows that a Bayern Munich win is more likely in this fixture. The German champions are unbeaten in 27 of their last 28 Champions League away games and have won both of their away games this season with an exact two-goal margin.

Also, the Bavarians have won the last five meetings against Barcelona while scoring at least two goals. However, we think Barcelona will grab a goal or more in this game, with the presence of Robert Lewandowski in attack.

Bayern Munich Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.83

Booking code: XFZKK2

Bayern have scored at least twice in their last four Champions League games, while also doing so in their last seven games in all competitions. In the context of this fixture, the Bavarians have scored at least twice in three of their last four visits to the Camp Nou.

Thomas Muller to score @ 3.50

Booking code: XFZ7GQ

Thomas Muller has made this fixture his own, with the German international scoring at least once in six of the last eight meetings against Barcelona. For some reasons, the Bayern star always has extra motivation when playing against the Catalans.

Having missed the last game against Hoffenheim, he has now been passed fit to face Barcelona.
