In their last three, they have scored 13 goals.

Bayern Munich Recent Form
Bayern haven't been in great form recently. They did beat Stuttgart 4-0 at the weekend, but prior to that, they went three games in a row without a win, drawing 1-1 with Leverkusen and 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga and losing 1-0 against Aston Villa in the Champions League.
On Matchday One, they destroyed Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 which was their biggest ever Champions League win.
Bayern Munich Injury News
Aleksandar Pavlovic broke his collarbone at the weekend and recently underwent surgery so will be missing for a while.
Josip Stanisic and Sacho Boey are definitely out, too, while Bayern are also sweating over the fitness of Jamal Musiala who is struggling with a hip issue.

Barcelona - Player To Watch
Robert Lewandowski faces his former club on Wednesday and does so in sensational form as he has scored seven goals in his last three games for the Blaugrana.
Bayern Munich - Player To Watch
Prior to the weekend, Harry Kane surprisingly went four games without a goal but bounced back in emphatic fashion with a hat-trick against Stuttgart.
Barcelona vs Bayern Munich - Prediction
Bayern have been a bit inconsistent under Vincent Kompany so far this season and haven't won their two biggest games of the campaign against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Aston Villa in the Champions League. Barcelona are capable of a poor result, too, as Osasuna and Monaco can attest to, but they should have enough to narrowly win this one at home.
