Barca are the slight favorite to win as the home side, priced at +130 on the moneyline while the German side come in at +190. A draw is set at +285 ahead of the contest.

Barcelona are on the brink of elimination from the Champions League and it has nothing to do with the result of Wednesday's match against Bayern Munich. They currently sit in third place in Group C, three points behind Inter Milan, who got a win and a draw against Barca in their two meetings in October. Inter will take on the winless Viktoria Plzen at 12:45 p.m. ET, and a win for the Serie A side will result in elimination for Barcelona, regardless of the result against Bayern Munich.
If Inter beat Viktoria Plzen, which is honestly more of a than an , the absolute best Barcelona could do is end up tied on points with the Italian club. Since Inter Milan hold the head-to-head tiebreaker, they'll automatically finish ahead of Barcelona, securing at least a second-place finish.
Still, there's a job to do, and regardless of knockout implications, they'll have a good shot at getting a decent result against Bayern at their home ground. Lewandowski was unable to get on the score sheet against his old side in their last meeting, so he'll be looking to get at least one past their tough defense this time around. Bayern have won all four of their Champions League matches so far this year and have won their last four straight across all competitions as they're in fantastic form as of late.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 11 contests at Camp Nou, so expect them to put up a good fight against the German side at home, even if it's only for pride. Take the two sides to play to a draw.
