Two genuine heavyweights of European football clash here, as Barcelona take on Bayern Munich, in what should be a spectacular encounter at the Nou Camp. Both sides have suffered defeats so far in the competition and they will be desperate to avoid another slip up in this one. Playing 8 games in the group stages will present both sides with chances to overcome any potential slip ups and with such quality on display in both camps, this should be an absolute cracker for both punters and UCL betting apps.

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Analysis
This should be a Champions League classic at the Nou Camp, with so much on the line.
Barcelona
It has been an intriguing start to the season for Barcelona, who continue to give the impression of being a team in transition. That said, they are sat pretty at the top of the La Liga table, and they are beginning to build some momentum in their pursuit of returning to former glories in the Champions League. Losing to Monaco in their opening game was a result very few people expected, and they are a touch behind the 8-ball coming into this one.
Team news: Gavi, Marc ter Stegen, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal and Ferran Torres are all expected to miss out here for Barca.
Barcelona Predicted Lineup:
Pena, Balde, Fort, Martinez, Cubarsi, Pedri, Casado, de Jong, Fati, Raphinha & Lewandowski.
Bayern Munich
Losing to Aston Villa last time out will be causing great pain for Vincent Kompany and his men ahead of this one. Despite plenty of conjecture about his appointment in the summer, Bayern look to be developing a very strong playing identity under the Belgian and they could be one of the sides that sneak under the radar as the competition develops in the eyes of many punters and Champions League betting sites.
Team news: Sasha Boey and Hiroki Ito will miss out here for Bayern.
Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup:
Neuer, Kimmich, Upamecano, Kim, Davies, Guerreiro, Pavlovic, Olise, Musiala, Gnabry & Kane.
Barcelona vs Bayern Munich Prediction
These are two sides that relish the big occasions and the prospect of them facing off so early on in the Champions League is a hugely exciting one.
