When Barcelona takes the pitch on Wednesday against Bayern Munich, it won’t know if it needs a win or can get with a draw to advance to the knockout stage of the 2021 UEFA Champions League. The only way to secure the path to the next round is to take a win from the German side, which has been the most dominating club in the competition and won the first meeting, 3-0. Barca’s only victories in the group both came against winless Dynamo Kyiv, which plays Benfica on Wednesday as well. You can see what happens when you watch the match live on Paramount+.

UEFA Champions League picks for Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated well over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona, Green is picking Bayern Munich to win on the money line at -145 odds. Across all competitions, Bayern has not lost a match at home since October 3, but since then, manager Julian Nagelsmann has deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation more frequently than the alternative 4-2-3-1. As a result, the club has maintained its position atop the Bundesliga and Group E standings.
Bayern went with the four-defender backline in its earlier win against Barcelona and left Spain with a clean sheet victory. Outside of a 3-1 win against 12th-place Villareal, Barcelona hasn’t even looked particularly sharp in LaLiga as of late, and Bayern should have plenty of confidence heading into Wednesday.
“If it fields a strong team, Bayern should crush Barcelona in this game,” Green told SportsLine. “It moved four points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga after beating Marco Rose’s team 3-2 at the weekend.”
