Barcelona head to the Allianz Arena to face Bayern Munich on matchday six of the Champions League with Xavi Hernandez's side knowing only a win will guarantee their place in the knockout stages.
The Blaugrana suffered their first defeat under their new boss at the weekend, going down 1-0 to Real Betis in La Liga, and while Bayern are already through as group winners, a Barca side enduring a tumultuous season are clear outsiders on Wednesday night.

Gerard Pique and Ansu Fati are the only Barcelona players to have scored in the Champions League this season.
Fati is injured and Pique is priced at 40/1 (41.00) to break the deadlock as he did in the home clash with Dynamo Kyiv.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona preview
Barcelona have scored only two goals in five Champions League games while Bayern have notched 19 goals during the same period.
The stark difference in goalscoring capabilities only further highlights how much better the German champions are than their Catalan opponents and the winning mentality ingrained in the Bavarians will not simply be put on hold because top spot in the group has already been secured.
Matchday one saw Bayern comfortably win 3-0 at Camp Nou and a repeat looks appealing, especially given how open Barcelona have looked defensively this season.
