Comments, predictions Barcelona vs Bayern Munich: Barca's revenge day

In one of the standout matches of the third round of the Champions League, five-time champions Barcelona host six-time winners Bayern Munich.

With both teams on three points from two games, a defeat here could put either side in danger of dropping out of the top 24.

Latest Barcelona vs Bayern Munich squad information

Flick is expected to continue to rely on Inaki Pena in goal for Barcelona, ​​despite the recent signing of Wojciech Szczesny, both for this match and the upcoming El Clasico, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out for the rest of the season.

Barcelona were able to welcome Dani Olmo and Gavi back into the squad after injury over the weekend, with Gavi coming on for the final few minutes.

Frenkie de Jong is also edging closer to a full return, having not started since returning earlier this month, but Marc Bernal is set to be sidelined for an extended period with a serious knee injury.

The hosts will also be without Ferran Torres due to a hamstring problem, and centre-back duo Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, so youngster Pau Cubarsi will come into the side in another high-profile clash.

Bayern will be without Aleksandar Pavlovic after he broke his collarbone in just the opening five minutes of the game last weekend, with Joao Palhinha a likely candidate to come on as a replacement.

Raphael Guerreiro has recently been used at right-back, but Konrad Laimer could also feature in this position while Joshua Kimmich is likely to continue in midfield, ahead of Leon Goretzka.

Young talent Jamal Musiala will be a major absentee for the visitors if he fails to recover in time from a hip injury, while right-back duo Josip Stanisic and Sacha Boey are also currently out, leading to a positional adjustment for Guerreiro.

Latest expected lineup for Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

Inaki Pena; Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski

Bayern Munich:

Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

Hansi Flick's excellent start as Barcelona coach continued over the weekend, as the team won 5-1 against Sevilla, maintaining a three-point gap at the top of La Liga.

The only blemish so far in the domestic season has been a slip-up away at Osasuna, while Flick's only other defeat came against an impressive Monaco side when they were reduced to 10 men at half-time.

Barcelona returned to impressive form in the second leg, beating Young Boys 5-0; it was the perfect preparation for the visit of German heavyweights - the former club of Flick and top scorer Robert Lewandowski.

The Barca coach has now won 17 of his 20 Champions League games, the best winning ratio in the history of the competition, and also the most wins a coach has had in his first 20 games in the competition.

However, the head-to-head history between Barcelona and Bayern is worrying ahead of this match, with the Catalans having won just two of their previous 15 meetings.

The last six meetings have all gone in Bayern's favour, including a stunning 8-2 win in 2020, while the Bavarians have also won four in a row since then without conceding a goal.

Another defeat here would see Barcelona equal the club's record for longest consecutive defeats against a single opponent, a feat that dates back to the 1960s against the mighty Real Madrid side.

With 10 wins over Barcelona in the Champions League, Bayern could equal the record for the most wins any team has had against a single opponent in the competition, and become the first team to win seven consecutive games against a single side since Real Madrid did so against Ajax during the 2010s.

Vincent Kompany will be hoping his side can respond to a disappointing defeat to Aston Villa in the second leg, when Jhon Duran took advantage of Manuel Neuer's run of goal to score a dramatic late winner.

The result ended Bayern's 41-game unbeaten run at this stage of the Champions League, and it also means they could lose three consecutive away games in Europe for the first time in their history, having also suffered a dramatic defeat at Real Madrid in last season's semi-finals.

In mid-September, Bayern won three games in a week, scoring 20 goals in the process against Holstein Kiel, Dinamo Zagreb and Werder Bremen, but since then they have not had it as easy as before, drawing with Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt alongside a defeat to Villa.

However, the three-game winless streak was ended last weekend, as Harry Kane scored his sixth goal for Bayern with a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Stuttgart, keeping them top of the Bundesliga on goal difference ahead of RB Leipzig.
