Bayern Munich take on FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Group C fixture on September 14, 2022. The match is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 AM IST.
Both the teams began their UEFA Champions League 2022-23 campaign on a winning note. Barcelona thrashed Victoria Plzen 5-1 as former Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski bagged his first hat-trick for the club whereas Bayern Munich cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Inter Milan.
The two heavyweights currently occupy the top two spots in Group C, with Barcelona at the top thanks to their superior goal difference.
In their domestic leagues, Barcelona currently sit second in La Liga just behind their rivals Real Madrid. They have won four out of five matches played so far.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich have had an underwhelming start to their Bundesliga campaign as they have won and drawn three apiece to find themselves in an unfamiliar third position.
As far as this clash is concerned, Barcelona have an edge over Bayern Munich given their superb form. The Spanish outfit have scored at least three goals in every competitive match so far in this campaign barring the opening day clash against Rayo Vallecano.
