Both teams have a dominant way of playing. Barcelona can be more favored, but I'm just worried about their defenders who I think are not very strong this season. There are still gaps even though in some matches it was closed by Barcelona's ability to dominate ball possession. But facing a strong opponent like Munich is clearly a tough test for Barcelona. It will not be easy to win the match. Before the match against Munich, Barca must face Sevilla who cannot be underestimated. Likewise, the match after facing Munich, Barca will face Madrid. They must be able to maintain their confidence.
That means Barcelona got a very busy week ahead of them with all of this tough back to back matches, they need to be strong and play their best in order to pass through this phase without much trouble. Bayern Munich is not a team to joke with, it didn’t matter if they’d lost some matches in the past during the competition, they still are one of the best and Barcelona won’t find it easy playing against them.
I have not known what the fixtures of Bayern Munich will be in the next few matches in all competitions, but their meeting with Barcelona will not be taking slightly by them after losing to Aston Villa in their last match in the champions league. They will be much prepared to come and play for three points and that’s what is expected by them in the match to win the match.
Barcelona do have a very hectic schedule with tough matches in a row. They need to keep winning, basically maintaining consistency to sail through this phase without much of a problem. Bayern Munich, even though they were defeated, will always be one of the dangerous teams that cannot be taken for granted.
Following a loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League, there is no doubt that the Bayern side will come into this game in good spirits looking to recover and take all three points. Barcelona will not have an easy game up against Bayern, a team that always rises to the occasion with massive challenges. Both teams will put their best foot forward in what promises to be a very interesting game.
