Preview: Slavia Prague vs Barcelona Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a goalless draw.
SK Slavia Praha are all set to battle it out against FC Barcelona for their round 7 league phase contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This entertaining fixture between these clubs is scheduled to take place at the Fortuna Arena.
Slavia Prague are doing really well in their domestic league competition, but the same cannot be said for their performances in the UCL. They have failed to register a win in six games this season and might not have a chance to get to the next stage of the tournament. The Red and Whites will be at home, but are likely to be under pressure.
FC Barcelona have only bagged three wins in the UEFA Champions League this season. Even though their efforts have been good in the domestic tournaments, their performances have not been consistent in the European competition. The Hansi Flick-led side consists of quality players, and despite being away from home, they will be confident coming into their next game.

Players to Watch
Lukas Provod (Slavia Prague)
Lukas Provod will be looking to step up his game and help his side stand a chance against the Blaugrana. Even though he is not in the best form, he is still going to play a crucial part in the squad for Slavia Praha. He can control the midfield well and can come up with innovative plays for his fellow teammates.
Marcus Rashford (Barcelona)

Marcus Rashford is coming in after scoring a goal for Barcelona in their previous fixture. However, it was not enough to help Barca avoid defeat. The Englishman is the top scorer for the Spanish giants in the UEFA Champions League.
