Five-time European champions Barcelona’s chances of staying on in the Champions League are hanging by a thread ahead of their trip to Germany to face Bayern Munich. Playing in group E, they are on seven points, in second place and face leaders Bayern Munich, who are on 15 points. Bayern have won all their matches in this group and get to this game straight from a win over Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. This is a fixture Bayern have come to really love lately. In their earlier meeting in this group, they thumped Barcelona 3-0 for their third straight win over the Spanish side. They haven’t scored less than three in the last three meetings. Robert Lewandowski has scored in each of those three games, a total of four goals. The Polish forward goes to this game on a good scoring run as well. He has scored five goals in the last five matches.

Barcelona seemed shaky once again in their loss at home to Real Betis, and they will go into an even tougher game in Munich. It hasn’t been all smooth for them this season and key highlights of their season were the two matches against Bayern at home and Benfica away in this group. They suffered 3-0 losses on both occasions. Here, they have to match Benfica’s result and the biggest problem is that Benfica are playing the weakest team in this group and are at home. For Barcelona to be safe, they have to win this and in their shaky recent run, they don’t hold much promise. With just four wins in the last 10 matches, Barcelona will need a very good strategy to beat Bayern in Germany. They do have three straight clean sheets in the Champions League, but two of them were against Dinamo Kiev and one against Benfica.
