Bayern Munich hosts Barcelona in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 8th at Allianz Arena (Munich)
Bayern Munich experienced a small recession after the matches of the national teams. The Bavarians lost to Augsburg and beat Dynamo Kyiv and Arminia Bielefeld with certain difficulties. The victories over the Ukrainians and the outsiders of the Bundesliga were minimal (1-2 and 1-0, respectively). But it seems that Julian Nagelsmann was able to return his charges to their former level at a key moment. Another Der Klassiker took place in Germany on Saturday. The champions came to Dortmund to play with their main pursuers from Borussia. And Bayern Munich once again defeated its opponent (2-3). Robert Lewandowski scored twice against his former partners. However, the Pole scored the decisive goal from a penalty "earned" by ex-player of Bayern, Hummels. In any case, the Star of the South is not bad again now. Another thing is that the only motivation in the Champions League can be the desire to gain 100% of the points. Let’s recall that Bayern Munich won all five previous games.

Barcelona is increasingly convinced that Xavi's return will not be a panacea. Nevertheless, there is some progress under the management of the ex-midfielder. He started his work in LaLiga with a couple of victories. But on Saturday, the Catalans lost again. The grandee didn’t score a single goal against Betis at Camp Nou and conceded the decisive goal in the second half. Beyond that, the new coach did not succeed in achieving the desired result in the Champions League. Under Xavi, Barcelona could not score against Benfica. On the one hand, a goalless draw against the Eagles did not become a failure, as they are two points behind. But now they will host Dynamo Kyiv in a parallel match. And if they beat the guests from Kyiv, they will rise to the 2nd final place in case of a draw in Munich. So, Xavi has an extremely difficult task now. It would be desirable for his coaching staff to come up with a way to beat the German champion in Munich.
In recent years, Bayern Munich has gained much better results in head-to-head matches. Suffice it to recall the legendary 2-8 victory in the Champions League quarterfinals last year. And in September, the Germans defeated the Catalans at Camp Nou (0-3). Bookmakers believe that the visitors will not be able to win the upcoming game. They are not convincing even under Xavi. We will bet that Bayern Munich will gain another victory over Barcelona.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win
