Slavia Praha welcomes Barcelona at the Sinobo Stadium in Prague in a game from Group F of the Champions League. Can Slavia trouble the Catalan giants and take something from them? We are going to discuss their chances during our Champions League predictions for today.
Barcelona started their participation in the tournament with a strategic draw against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park, which was followed by their first win in the group. Los Cules hosted Inter Milan at the Camp Nou and they were a goal behind at halftime, but a brace from Luis Suarez after the break secured them the three points.

Right now Ernesto Valverde’s team in enjoying a run of five consecutive wins in all competitions, which is good news for him. The manager was criticized after some of Barca’s results lately, but maybe now the situation is much more calm for him.
During the weekend Barcelona travelled to face Eibar and secured three points with a 3-0 win. Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored for the winning side.
Slavia Praha are currently third in the group with just one point won so far. The Czech team started really well, winning a point during the visit to Inter Milan at the San Siro, but in their second game they suffered a home defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Now they will have another chance to play in front of their fans in the tournament.
Few days ago Slavia achieved their 11th win for the season in the Czech Liga. They hosted Pribram and won the three points with 3-1. Toma Soucek scored a brace for the hosts, while Pribram’s Marek Kodr scored himself an own goal.
