Slavia Prague will welcome Barcelona on Wednesday evening at Fortuna Arena in the Czech capital, as the two sides clash in Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League league phase for the 2025–2026 season.
Both teams eager to improve their positions in the standings ahead of the decisive stage of the competition, where dropping points could prove costly.
Barcelona come into the game after an inconsistent run of results in the league phase, having collected 10 points from six matches.
That tally places the Spanish giants 15th in the standings, increasing the pressure to secure a victory that would push them back into strong contention for qualification to the next round.
Slavia Prague, on the other hand, will rely on home advantage and fan support in search of a European upset, despite the scale of the challenge.
The Czech side sit 33rd in the table with just three points, meaning a win is essential to revive their slim hopes and improve their standing.
Barcelona welcome back Brazilian winger Raphinha after a recent absence. However, teenage star Lamine Yamal will miss the match due to suspension after accumulating yellow cards.
