Yahoo Sports Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - preview
Barcelona face a crucial Champions League tie tonight as they travel to face Bayern Munich in Group E.
Should Benfica beat Dynamo Kyiv, who are without a win in the group stage so far, Xavi’s Barcelona will have to secure all three points against Bayern, or they will drop down into the Europa League.
There is no such stress for Julian Nagelsmann and his men. Five wins from five means they are already safely through, and after cruising past the Spanish side at the Camp Nou, they will be confident of doing so again at home.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight - Wednesday, December 8, 2021.
It will be played behind closed doors at the Allianz Arena due to rising Covid-19 cases in Bavaria.

Bayern Munich vs Barcelona prediction
Bayern have been in imperious form throughout the group stage, scoring 19 goals so far, including five in both of their two home matches.
Even if they name a weakened team tonight, they should still prove too strong for Barcelona. Xavi’s side drew with Benfica in their last Champions League match, and that could prove to be the costly result.
It would be a big upset if they were to beat Bayern, and one that their recent form suggests they are not quite capable of.
