Barcelona head to Prague on Wednesday to take on Slavia Prague in this Matchday 8 of the 2025-26 Champions League league-phase clash. The La Liga champions are 15th in the standings – 18 places above Slavia Prague – and will look to strengthen their bid for a top-eight finish with a win against the Red and Whites. Read for our prediction for the match.
A run of three wins, a draw and two losses have left Barcelona's hopes of a top-eight finish for an automatic ticket to the Champions League round-of-16 hanging in the balance. With two matches left, Hansi Flick's side have fallen below expectations.
Underlining their below-per performance this term, they have collected five fewer points and sit 13 places lower than they did at this same stage last season! Nevertheless, the Blaugrana still have their hopes of a direct qualification for the round of 16 intact, sitting just two points out of the top eight, but a win on Wednesday is non-negotiable to shore up their chances.
Slavia Prague head into this match among the four teams without a win after six rounds of matches. Interestingly, the Czech giants are still in the hunt for a playoff finish despite managing just three points - four behind the playoff spots. Let's dive into further details.

Slavia Prague - Barcelona: Form Analysis
Barcelona's terrific winning run finally came to an end over the weekend in La Liga against an unlikely opponent, Real Sociedad. The Catalan giants had two goals chalked off for foul and offside, eventually losing 2–1 to the White and Blues in a keenly contested clash.
That defeat blew open the La Liga title race, narrowing their lead to just one point, as well as snapping their 11-match winning streak. A win on Wednesday will not only secure the points, but also help steady the ship ahead of what is likely to be a challenging season.
Hansi Flick's charges came from behind to edge Eintracht Frankfurt 2–1 in their last UCL outing and their impressive goal-scoring record is worth noting. They have averaged 2.3 goals per contest across their six Champions League outings – the same return in their last six away matches across all competitions.
Barcelona have won seven of their last eight Champions League matches against Czech sides, drawing one
Slavia Prague last played a competitive match on December 13, 2025, defeating Jablonec 4–3 in the Czech First League. They fell 3–0 to Tottenham Hotspur in their most recent Champions League outing and that result marked the third time they have conceded three unreplied goals (the previous two coming against Arsenal and Inter Milan) in the competition this season.

Slavia Prague & Barcelona Squad Analysis
Slavia Prague are likely to struggle with balance in the defense and in taming Barcelona's pacey wingers due to the absence of key left-back Dominik Javorcek, who is on a lengthy layoff with a knee issue. They will also be without forward Filip Horský who is sidelined with a ligament injury.
Tomáš Chorý remains a key player to watch in the Slavists' attacking ranks. Chorý has struck six times in his last five matches for Slavia Prague and boasts a team-high nine Czech First League goals.
Marcus Rashford is Barcelona's top scorer in this Champions League with four goals in four appearances!
Barcelona will parade a significantly altered starting XI from the one that faced Eintracht Frankfurt the last time out. Midfield sensation Pedri is out with a knee injury. Lamine Yamal remains suspended after picking up a yellow card in the Eintracht Frankfurt clash, with Roony Barghi likely to be deployed on the right wing.
Raphinha missed the weekend's defeat to Real Sociedad due to a thigh injury, but has been confirmed back to the team training and available for the Prague trip. Ferran Torres has been ruled out after finishing the Real Sociedad match with a hamstring issue, with Robert Lewandowski lined up to lead the attack.
