FC Barcelona - Bayern Munich ai prediction 14.09.2021 Champions League

Betting Tip for matchday 1 of the 2021/2022 Champions League between FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Barcelona v Bayern Munich, UCL, 14.09.2021

Two of Europe’s football giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich renew their rivalry on Tuesday night as they both kick off their Champions League campaigns with a mouthwatering Group E clash at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

Both teams have had strong starts to their domestic seasons. But the Champions League is a different kettle of fish altogether. We will take a look at 1xBet app prices for our betting tips in this preview.

BARCELONA

After the storm surrounding the departure of Lionel Messi from the cup has settled, Barcelona have had a strong start in this La Liga season, picking up 7 points from the opening three games. They picked up a 2-1 win over Getafe in their last match just before the international break and had a break at the weekend following the postponement of their match against Sevilla as a result of late arrivals from returning CONCACAF players.

Ronald Koeman survived the acrimony of last season’s disastrous on and off the pitch issues at the club but even he knows he has a year to prove his worth failure to which he is likely to face the firing squad.

He will be pleased with how some of the new players have settled into the system, particularly Memphis Depay who has been in tremendous form for both club and country. It is upon them to try and erase some painful memories of the visitor’s last trip here.

BAYERN

Bayern have dominated their domestic league and the Champions League in recent years but they lost the continental title last season when they were eliminated by PSG in the quarterfinals.

New coach Julian Nagelsmann appears to be getting his footing right at the club as demonstrated by the 4-1 demolition of supposed title rivals RB Leipzig at the weekend. This was their fifth straight win and they have been firing on all cylinders in these games with 3 or more goals scored in all five games.

The Bavarians will look to extend an incredible away record in the competition. Since losing at PSG in September 2017, they are unbeaten in 18 games on the road in the Champions League (14W, 4D).

Possible Line Ups

BARCELONA VS BAYERN MUNICH BETTING PREDICTIONS

It’s incredible to imagine it is just 11 months ago that Bayern came into the Camp Nou and put Barcelona to the sword with an unbelievable 8-2 victory. Looking back, that really was the start of Barcelona’s fall from grace to grass that culminated with the exit of their talisman and captain Lionel Messi to PSG in one of the shocking transfers from a crazy transfer window. That aside, both teams appear to have had great starts to the respective league campaigns. Given their similar styles of play, we expect another entertaining game. That last game had 15 corners and we fancy there could be lots of corners here too. A double-digit return pays @ 1.90 at 1xBet and we are snapping it up as the first of our football betting tips today.

While we are not expecting another mauling here, goals are still pretty much expected. Neither of these teams have been particularly great at the back but they can both score in bunches. BTTS has thin prices but you can find some value in backing Over 1.5 first-half goals @ 2.08 with 1xBet.
