The history of meetings between the two teams cannot be used as a reference. but sometimes by chance the history of meetings can keep repeating itself. Because every time Barcelona faces Bayern, they will definitely think about not losing in this meeting. But then they came back and lost again within a few seasons. But there is indeed a difference for this season when talking about Barcelona. Because Hansi Flick has succeeded in making Barcelona's playing style fresher now. With so many young players in our Barcelona squad, Barcelona has become a team that is difficult for us to predict. But I think I like their style of play more at the moment. I hesitate to bet on either team winning this match. Because a draw can also happen.
I agree with you that the past results of the matches between these two teams should not be considered as our reference. Bayern Munich is undoubtedly ahead in head-to-head matches. Munich have won all of their last 6 Champions League matches against Barcelona. And out of the last 11 matches, Munich have won 9 matches and Barcelona have won only 2 matches.
Munich ahead in statistics. But I'd say Barcelona have to go ahead considering recent performances. Barcelona performed well in the last match against Young Boys. At the same time, the top spot in La Liga is still held by Barcelona. We have seen very strong performances from Barcelona in home matches. On the other hand, Bayern Munich's performance is a bit weak at the moment. We have seen a very strong performance from this team at the beginning of the season. But Munich failed to win in the last three matches. So I highly doubt if Munich can win against Barcelona.
One thing that I am considering regarding the Barcelona vs Bayern Munich match is that Flick is now on Barcelona's side. Flick once brought Bayern Munich to glory, he understands very well the philosophy of his former team. Plus, Bayern is handled by Vincent Kompany, which means a test match as well as a challenge for him to maintain his dominance over Barcelona. H2H can of course be a consideration, but considering that Barcelona is architected by Flick and Bayern lost against Aston Villa and drew against Frankfurt, it will put pressure on the Bayern coach. Moreover, the match was held at Camp Nou. Lewa, Olmo, understands Bayern Munich's game very well, plus the coach may know the weaknesses of the team he once handled. I tried to see the odds of both teams from the Stake site, for the time being Barcelona is slightly more superior. Barcelona with odds @2.10, while Bayern @3.15. Of course the odds can change at any time, especially before this match will be held. Finally, as a Barcelona supporter, I hope Flick can show us Barca lovers by winning the battle between these two teams.
