THE PREDICTION

It has been a disastrous Champions League campaign for Barcelona and they will drop into the Europa League at the conclusion of this contest with Viktoria Plzen. The Spaniards have been unable to win any of their five games other than one which came against their opponents in this contest. They are likely to rotate their side to focus on their upcoming La Liga matches and Plzen will hope to take advantage. However, they have lost all of their matches and having shipped 20 times, they are still unlikely to capitalise so expect Barca to prevail.
