Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich (1-0) welcomes Barcelona (1-0) to Allianz Arena Tuesday with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich is coming into this match having drawn 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They beat Inter Milan 2-0 to kick off the Champions League group stage round.

Bayern sits 3-0-3 in Bundesliga competition and is expected to win the league. Bayern’s big-time addition this offseason was Liverpool F Sadio Mane, who has 3 goals so far this season.

Barcelona will enter this match having won 5 of their 6 competitions this season. They’re No. 1 in La Liga. They beat Viktoria Plzeň in their first UCL group stage match 5-1.

The roadside is led by F Robert Lewandowski with 6 goals this season. This will be the long-time Bayern forward’s 1st match against his old club which will undoubtedly be a talking point leading into the match.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Barcelona 2

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+330).

The value for a draw is there.

Despite having had more expected goals than their opponent, Bayern hasn’t been able to win as of late. They’ve drawn 3 of 5 and didn’t even look overly dominant against Inter.

Considering Barcelona’s form in both league play and in the UCL along with the impact that Lewandowski will undoubtedly have, they should be able to keep pace with Bayern.

Bayern beat Barcelona a combined 6-0 in group stage matches last season, but these teams are drastically different and those changes should bode well for the surging road side.

I’d back them to get some kind of result here, and a DRAW (+340) has the best value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-108).

Barcelona drew Rayo Vallecano 0-0 in their 1st league match of the season. Since then they have had at least 3 goals in each match. In 4 of 6 games, Barcelona has scored 4 or more.

Lewandowski is a club-changing player, and his impact has drastically impacted their offense. He should be able to find success against his former team.

Bayern has scored at least 2 goals in 7 of 9 matches this season with Mane being incredibly helpful to the team’s pace. Both have quick, dynamic attacks and should be able to break through.

Sevilla vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Sevilla vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Sevilla (0 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw) will welcome Barcelona (2-0-1) to Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Sevilla vs. Barcelona odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

Sevilla will enter this match tied for 15th with 5 other clubs, all with just 1 point on the season. Only Cadiz has yet to earn a point in 3 matches. Sevilla has scored 3 goals and allowed 5.

Considering they finished 4th in the league last season, this has been a massively disappointing start. Sevilla has a 3-way tie for their scoring leader, but only 1 forward (Rafa Mir) has netted a goal so far.

As for Barcelona, they made the most notable addition of any club in La Liga, bringing in Bayern Munich F Robert Lewandowski,who has 4 goals in 3 matches.

Despite having 1.2 more expected goals, Barcelona opened their season with a 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano. They’ve outscored their opponents 8-1 since then and is tied for 3rd.

Prediction

Barcelona 3, Sevilla 1

Money line (ML)

BET BARCELONA (-127).

There’s not much reason to believe in Sevilla at this point.

For that reason, I’ll side with Barcelona. For starters, after that opening draw, they destroyed Real Sociedad which finished within the top-8 teams in La Liga last season. And that was on the road.

Sevilla, on the other hand, has struggled and has had fewer expected goals in 2 of their 3 matches this season. They have only scored 1 in each while Barcelona has averaged 4 in their last 2.

Barcelona has experience in the midfield with M Serio Busquets and a star between the posts in GK Marc-André ter Stegen. Given their speed and skill all over the field, they should come away with a win.

Barcelona is 1-0-0 on the road this season while Sevilla is 0-0-1 at home. Also, Sevilla has just 11 shots on target in 3 games, a concerning lack of offensive production.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-130).

Both teams have gone over this in 2 of 3 games, and Sevilla is struggling to defend, having allowed 5 goals in 3 matches.

If they can’t contain some of the lower-tier teams in the league, there’s not much hope that they can tame the mighty Barcelona attack.

Last season, both of their matches went under this total, but performances from last season have little telling for what will happen Saturday, especially given the form each side is in.

Barcelona has scored at least 4 goals in each of their last 2 games and has 21 shots on goal in 3 games. If they again total 7, there’s a good chance 2 or 3 find the back of the net.

Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

To help commence La Liga’s 2022 season, Barcelona hosts Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Below, we preview the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

In a midst of turmoil right now, Barcelona will still enter the new season with one of the league’s most talented rosters. Barcelona finished 2nd last season, 13 points behind Real Madrid.

Barcelona was one of 4 teams to hit the 70-point mark. F Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Barcelona in the middle of last season and Polish superstar F Robert Lewandowski was added this past offseason.

Rayo Vallecano finished in 12th place last season, scoring 39 goals and allowing 50. It had 11 wins, 18 losses, and 9 draws. Ray did draw Man U in a preseason friendly which it totaled more shots on target.

F Sergi Guardiola, their leading scorer last season with 8 goals, is no longer with the club, giving more opportunity to F Álvaro García, who had the 2nd-most goals on the team last season with 7.

Prediction

Barcelona 2, Vallecano 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Barcelona has too many scoring options to even think it would lose to a lower-tier club like Vallecano. An interesting note is that Vallecano recorded two 1-0 wins against the elite Spanish side last season.

While I’d still shy away from Vallecano (+1000), it’s the only thing with any sort of value here. I’d rather turn to the total though.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE LINE 2.5 (+150).

As noted, both of Vallecano’s matches against a star-studded Barcelona finished 1-0 last year. Considering the losing side had more than double Vallecano’s expected goals in each match, I don’t expect that success to continue.

However, in 3 of the 4 matches in which Vallecano played either Real Madrid or Barcelona, there were Under 2.5 goals scored. Against all top-4 teams, 6 of the 8 matches went Under 2.5 goals.

Vallecano also lost its top goal scorer in Guardiola. While Barcelona added an elite Lewandowski, he could easily struggle to learn to play in La Liga with his new teammates.

Considering the pace Vallecano should want to play, I’d suggest the alternate line of UNDER 2.5 (+150).

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

On Wednesday, Barcelona (2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw) travels to Allianz Arena to take on Bayern Munich (5-0-0). Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Already having clinched Group E, Bayern Munich has looked unstoppable, and with the injury to PSG’s Neymar, it could be considered the favorite to win the Champions League.

Bayern Munich is led by star F Robert Lewandowski. He’s been terrific so far this season. Bayern is 8 points ahead of second-place Barcelona in the group. It is 4 points ahead of Dortmund for the top spot in the Bundesliga.

As for Barcelona, it has been sliding on a downhill slope since Lionel Messi left.

It ranks 7th in La Liga competitions with 23 points in 15 games. F Memphis Depay has been its most consistent scorer this season. A win clinches Barcelona a spot in the Champions League knockout round.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Barcelona 1

Money line (ML)

BET BAYERN MUNICH (-200).

The value here isn’t terrific, but it’s certainly good enough to place a wager on. Bayern has looked unstoppable in both Bundesliga play and in Champions League action.

It’s not just that Bayern has won all five games, but it’s how it’s winning.

Although not in the most competitive group, Bayern has scored 19 goals in 5 games and given up 3. Behind two goals from Lewandowski, it took down Barcelona 3-0 in Spain.

Given Barcelona’s recent change in management, I would stay away from betting on the road side.

We’ve seen teams like Liverpool and PSG, which didn’t need a win, come out on top. The case for a sluggish Bayern just isn’t there. It should be at its top form, and I’d bet on Bayern coming out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 3.5 (-110). Barcelona has experience on its backline, and that should help it tame an insanely talented Bayern attack.

With defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba both projected to start, Barcelona should be able to limit a team that scored 3 goals with only 7 shots on target last time these two teams met. Barcelona has just 5 goals in 5 games and has allowed just 6 in UCL play.

Barcelona is as bad of a team as when it faced Bayern in its first meeting. With something to play for in this one, we should get a focused Barcelona team, making the UNDER 3.5 (-110) the better play here.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

To commence their UEFA Champions League play, Barcelona will take on Bayern Munich Tuesday. The Group E match is set to kick off at 3 p.m. ET and will be held at Barcelona’s home stadium of Camp Nou. Below, we preview the Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, and make our best UEFA Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

In the first of three knockout stage matches, fans will get a great show as two of the European powerhouses take the pitch.

While Barcelona, for the first time, won’t have superstar F Lionel Messi on the field, it has transitioned as well as expected with F Memphis Depay getting a ton of action in the early season.

Led by D Gerard Piqué, the Barcelona defense is also a force; however, the same can be said for Germany’s best side, Bayern Munich.

Bayern is led by Polish F Robert Lewandowski. F Leroy Sane should also make his presence felt and GK Manuel Neuer is arguably the best in the world.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Barcelona 2

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to BAYERN MUNICH (+102) as it is just so talented on so many levels.

While Lewandowski leads the pack, it’s a roster full of talent in every area. Barcelona is up there with some world-class players, but Bayern is even more skilled.

Munich also has a unit that’s played consistently together. Thomas Muller, Neuer, and Lewandowski have been through high-level play before.

Last Group Stage they went a clean 3-0, destroying Athletico Madrid, the other side that advanced in the group. With Messi no longer on the roster, it’ll be a learning experience for Barcelona to play a team of this caliber.

I expect Barcelona to struggle. The odds are justified as Bayern is on the road; however, it’s still the more put-together side and one that should come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+100) as Bayern Munich is an elite attacking side. As noted, it put four on Athletico last season, with 4 goals in the first knockout round then combined for 5 with PSG.

It’s tough to gauge how Barcelona could play given how much it’ll have to adjust to life without Messi, but it has played well in La Liga so far.

Neuer thinks Barcelona will be unpredictable and iIf he’s right, Barcelona could manage a couple of goals and this will be a goal-heavy match.

Barcelona at Athletic Bilbao odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Barcelona at Athletic Bilbao odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Following a terrific opening weekend, star-studded Barcelona (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Athletic Bilbao (0-0-1) Saturday. The match is set to kick off at 4 p.m. ET at San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain. Below, we preview the Barcelona at Athletic Bilbao odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

If you looked at the table, you’d never know Barcelona just lost arguably the greatest player in this generation with F Lionel Messi’s departure to PSG.

Barca is not in any way shorthanded in attacking, as 27-year-old F Memphis Depay has taken over as the 9 for the renowned club. Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad 4-2 in its season opener.

It’ll be taking on an Athletic side that drew its opener with Elche. Despite Bilbao’s 9 shots and 8 corners, it wasn’t able to get on the board as it ended in a 0-0 draw.

Prediction

Barcelona 3, Athletic Bilbao 1

Money line (ML)

BET on BARCELONA (-115) despite its continued adjustment to life without Messi.

The attack led by Depay and French F Antoine Griezmann is still elite. The backline with D Gerard Piqué is among the best in the league and its defense with veteran M Sergio Busquets is strong as well.

There isn’t much weakness on the Barcelona roster, and playing a club that finished 10th in the table last season, I’d put my money on Barcelona finding a way to come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-140) as the best bet on the total.

Barca and its opponent combined for 6 goals last week. Despite Bilbao’s struggles to get on the board, I’d expect more pace in this match which should result in each team netting at least 1 goal.

Bilbao averaged over a goal per game last season, so its offense should eventually come to life. M Alex Berenguer, the 2020-21 scoring leader, is still with the club and should help the offense start to produce.

Even if Bilbao doesn’t get on the board, three for Barca alone shouldn’t be too much of a stretch.
