Barcelona v Bayern Munich Predictions 6^th May 2015.

Tournament favourites Barcelona welcome the German champions to Catalonia hoping to fare better than they did the last time the two sides met. Back in 2013, Messi and co were comprehensively thrashed over two legs by a remarkable 7-0 scoreline. Barcelona have a really poor record against Bayern in recent years and this is something they will need to rectify if they are to make yet another Champions League final.

Nevertheless, the home side are in electric form at present and barely broke stride as they dumped Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain out of the competition in consecutive rounds. Luis Enrique's men are also currently top of La Liga having won 16 of their last 18 matches, as well as their last four on the trot by an aggregate scoreline of 18-0.

Bayern head to Spain having already secured the Bundesliga title a couple of weeks ago. However, complacency has already begun to creep in since lifting the trophy and Pep Guardiola's men have crashed out of the German Cup to Borrussia Dortmund and lost to Bayer Leverkusen in their last two matches and they will need to rediscover their form for Barcelona v Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Bayern also made really hard work of seeing off Porto in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after the Portuguese side took a 3-1 lead in the first leg of the tie. However, normal service was resumed at the Allianz Arena a week later, as Porto crumbled under a breathless first half of attacking football that saw the home side hit five goals in the first 40 minutes.

Judging by Bayen's last away performance in the competition, it would take a brave person to back them for a win in the Nou Camp. Nevertheless, there won't be many occasions you'll find such long odds on a Bayern Munich win, so it wouldn't be the worst bet in the world. However, Bayern head into the match without Arjen Robben, Franc Ribery and David Alaba. This is going to be a huge loss for the German champions, it is comparable taking Lionel Messi, Neymar and Gerard Pique out of the Barcelona side.

Therefore, back Barcelona to win the match with Ladbrokes at 8/11, or even take advantage of a 6/1 sign-up offer with the same bookmaker. In addition to this my next Barcelona v Bayern Munich betting tip is Barcelona to be winning at half-time and full-time at 17/10 with Bet Victor. This has been the outcome in nine of Barcelona's last ten Champions League matches.

Heading over to the Barcelona v Bayern Munich goalscoring market and Luis Suarez is well-priced to score anytime in the match. The Uruguayan started the season slowly after his summer move from Liverpool and only scored twice in his first ten matches. However, since then he has plundered 22 goals in 28 appearances, as well as five in his last two games. Back Suarez to score in 90 minutes at 6/4 with Bet365.
