Barcelona v Bayern Munich

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Preview

Barcelona will be going in search of a fourth win on the trot in all competitions when they play host to German visitors Bayern Munich in what looks like being one of the tastiest and most anticipated fixtures on matchday 3 of this season's Champions League.

The Spanish hosts have recently accounted for the likes of Young boys (5-0 in the Champions League) along with posting comprehensive back-to-back wins against Alaves 3-0 and Sevilla 5-1 respectively, so Hans Flick's side will be in supremely confident mood as they prepare for the upcoming visit of Bayern Munich.

Results overall also look highly promising for Barcelona as the Spanish club have slipped to just two defeats in their last 12 matches overall in all competitions which were at the hands of Monaco and Osasuna in 2-1 and 4-2 losses respectively, while also racking up 10 wins within this period as well.

Goals also look likely to feature in this upcoming matchday 3 tie at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys as six out of Barcelona's last 10 matches in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals along with both teams scoring as well.

Bayern Munich returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion on the weekend when the German club recorded a comprehensive 4-0 rout at home against Stuttgart which ended a previous run of three games without a win.

Despite inflicting a heavy defeat upon Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb with a 9-2 thrashing, the German visitors also suffered a 1-0 loss away from home at Aston Villa so Vincent Kompany and his side will be eager to get something out of this upcoming encounter.

The visitors had previously been involved in draws with Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt in 1-1 and 3-3 stalemates respectively along with the loss in the west midlands, but goals certainly look likely to crop up once again on Wednesday night as seven out of Bayern Munich's last 10 matches in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Bayern Munich have lost just once in their last nine outings on the road overall while goals have also come along for the ride as well, as seven of these nine away games have also produced three goals or more and further goals look likely here on Wednesday night.
