Before Betting On Bayern Munich vs Barcelona
Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona got off to strong starts in the Champions League this season, as both European giants picked up victories on matchday one. However, only one side can maintain their 100% record coming into this fixture on Tuesday, and the head to head record makes for compelling viewing.
Bayern Munich boast a very reliable record in this fixture, as they have picked up victories in eight of the previous eleven meetings between the sides. The German side has also won their previous four against Barcelona, which included victories in both fixtures between the sides in the Champions League group stages last season.
Barcelona have suffered twice as many defeats against Bayern Munich than they have against any other side. All the group stage fixtures between the sides have been won by the German giants. Bayern boast a very strong home record in European competition, as they have picked up wins in 35 of the previous 37 fixtures that they have played in the group stages at the Allianz Arena. Their only defeats have been suffered against Manchester City and Ajax.
Barcelona recorded a big 5-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the previous Champions League match that they played. In that win, they scored more goals than they had managed in the previous nine fixtures in the competition.
