Slavia Prague vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Prediction
Barcelona have earned four points from their first two games in Group F of the Champions League. That puts them second behind Borussia Dortmund and three points clear of third-placed Slavia Prague. They began this group with a goalless draw at Dortmund but then disposed of Inter Milan (bottom of the group) 2-1 at home. They trailed for 55 minutes in that game against Inter but eventually took the three points through two Luis Suarez goals. Now they have two back-to-back games against Slavia Prague and after those should be in a good position to qualify. Barcelona top La Liga by a point from Real Madrid. Saturday's 3-0 win at Eibar was their fifth successive victory with 13 goals scored and just two conceded. Away form hasn't been great this season with two draws and two losses before a couple of recent wins. In the Champions League, Barcelona have only lost one of the last seven away matches, that incredible night at Anfield last season.
Slavia Prague are already playing catch-up in this group. They are most likely just battling it out with Inter Milan for third spot and a transfer to the Europa League. They started this group with a 1-1 draw at Inter, conceding a 92nd minute equalizer. Then they hosted Borussia Dortmund and lost 2-0 with Achraf Hakimi scoring a goal in each half. Slavia are nine points clear at the top of the Czech league and the home loss to Dortmund was their first competitive defeat since April. Home form in the Champions League has seen two wins, two draws and a loss over the past couple of years. They lack experience in the group stages and didn't play in the competition between 2009 and 2017. Go for an away win in this match.

Our Slavia Prague vs Barcelona Prediction
Slavia Prague will hope to get something out of this game. If they don't, only failure by Inter to get anything from their home game against Dortmund will cheer them up. Barcelona had a shaky start to the season but have recovered well and again lead La Liga. They have tons more experience at this level than their opponents who have already lost at home to Dortmund. Go for an away win here.
