Final Takeaways 

  • Barcelona have had additional prep time for the welcome of Bayern Munich and they have made a bright start to the season
  • Bayern has won five straight matches, which included a 4-1 thrashing of RB Leipzig in Leipzig on Saturday.
  • The lineup of Barca for this match will play together for the first time and Bayern might make the most of it.
  • It is highly unlikely that Barca come out of this match with a point

LINEUP & PLAYER ANALYSIS

Predicted Lineups   

                 Barcelona

   

Lukk De Jong is set to make his debut as Martin Braithwaite is injured

With most of the attacking players injured, Barca may start with Coutinho for tonight’s match.

Barca’s side lacks depth and synergy. Depay is the only good thing happening to Barca going forward which might not be enough to get them over the line

Bayern Munich

   

Bayern is playing like a well-oiled machine. Veterans Muller and Lewandowski have carried on their good form into this season.

New inclusion, Jamal Musiala is the one to look out for his start to this season has created a lot of buzz around him, and rightly so

Julian Nagelsmann has solidified the defense of Bayern making it more difficult for Barca to breakthrough

SCENARIO SPECIFIC DREAM11 TEAMS

     

   

  1. Bayern win with CS

High Probability. Lewandowski and Musiala to score

  1. Bayern win w/o CS

Very High Probability. Barca may get a goal from Depay

  

  

  1. Barca win with CS

Very Low Probability. Bayern are very strong going forward

  1. Barca win w/o CS

Neutral Probability. Barca has to be really good on the night.

 

                                                                

 

  1. Goalless Draw (0-0)

Very Low Probability. Both sides are attacking. There will be goals

 

  1. FINAL VERDICT (Prediction based on my inference)
  • Bayern Munich is way overpowered right now for Barcelona to deal with. I would prefer Scenarios 1 and 2 for today’s match
  • Davis will have a free reign down the Left as Barca’s RB position is a weak link in defense. Expect Davis to create some goal-scoring Chances. Lewandowski to finish
  • 3-1 for Bayern. Depay may put up a fight, but this Byer side has the capability to breeze past this Barcelona side.
