Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona Betting Tips: Two tips for this clash of the giants

Live on BT Sport on Tuesday night, European powerhouses Bayern Munich host the Spanish giants Barcelona at the Allianz Arena this Tuesday at 8pm. The hosts are sitting 3rd in the Bundesliga, still unbeaten after six games but have dropped points in three consecutive league games as a result of 3 draws. In the Champions league however, they made a solid start by overcoming Inter Milan 2-0 away from home.

They dominated the game registering 11 shots on target to Inter’s 2 and could have had more goals had their finishing been slightly better. A

s for the visitors, they have made an emphatic start to their campaign sitting 2nd in the La Liga having won 4 and drawn just 1 game. They ran out comfortable 5-1 winners against minnows Viktoria Plzen in their first group stage game in the Champions League and after dispatching Cadiz 4-0 in their next game, will be heading to the Allianz Arena full of confidence.

This will be a homecoming for Barcelona’s new star striker Robert Lewandowski who switched sides in the summer. It is no surprise that he is currently Barcelona’s top goalscorer with nine goals in six appearances for Barca in all competitions including, a hat-trick in the Champions League against Viktoria Plzen. This is a clash of two of Europe’s elite teams and an incredibly hard game to predict, so I will be steering clear of any result based bets in my preview.

A massive Champions League clash awaits us and as usual, I have you covered with 2 of my best betting angles for this game included in the preview below:

Team News:

Kingsley Coman is out for Bayern Munich while Bouna Sarr is doubtful.

Barcelona head into this game with a fully fit 25 man squad.

Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:

Neuer; Pavard, De Ligt, L Hernandez, Davies; Kimmich, Sabitzer; Gnabry, Muller, Sane; Mane

Barcelona possible starting lineup:

Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, E Garcia, Balde; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele

- Joshua Kimmich Over 0.5 Shots in the match

- Ousmane Dembele Over 0.5 Shots in the match

- Joshua Kimmich Over 0.5 tackles in the match

 Joshua Kimmich has had a shot in every single game he has played so far this season. He is currently averaging 1.83 shots per game in the league and had five shots against Inter Milan in the 1st game of the Champions League group stage. He is also expected to be on free-kick duty which enhances his chances of registering a shot.

Ousmane Dembele has also had a shot in every single game he has played so far this season. He is averaging a staggering 3.4 shots per game in the league and also had three shots last time out against Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League, despite only playing 33 minutes.

As for the final selection, Joshua Kimmich is averaging 2.5 tackles per game in the Bundesliga so far this season and considering this game is expected to be a tough battle between two strong sides, he should get plenty of opportunities to put in a tackle. I expect both of these players to start for their teams and play close to 90 minutes, so our bet-builder looks good value @ 4/5 for a 1pt stake as our main bet for this huge game.

Lewandowski is Barcelona’s top scorer with nine goals in just six appearances, including a hat-trick in their first group stage game of the Champions League. With this new look Barcelona side, he should get plenty of chances to put the ball into the back of the net against his former side.

As for Sadio Mane, he will be Bayern’s biggest threat in the final third and is their second top-scorer after Musiala, who is expected to be on the bench. Combining these two selections gives us an attractive double @ 4/1 and I am happy to take that with a small 0.25pt stake as our 2nd bet for this game.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
