Antwerp vs Barcelona prediction – Betting tips & odds
Hot Tip – Both Teams to Score
- There have been five goals in each of Antwerp’s home matches in the group stage, with both teams scoring on each occasion.
- Barcelona’s defence was breached again and again on Sunday as they lost 4-2 at home to Girona in a thrilling game in La Liga.
Our Antwerp vs Barcelona betting tips suggest the hosts can at least ask questions of a Barca defence that will still be reeling from a damaging Catalan derby defeat.

Antwerp vs Barcelona team news
Antwerp
The Antwerp vs Barcelona lineups are still likely to be relatively strong in both cases, even though there’s not a great deal at stake here with Antwerp eliminated from Europe and Barcelona guaranteed a Last 16 berth.
The hosts are hampered by suspensions for Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Arbnor Muja.
Predicted Lineup: Butez (GK), De Laet, Coulibaly, Alderweireld, Bataille, Keita, Vermeeren, Kerk, Balikwisha, Janssen, Ejuke
Barcelona
The visitors are missing Gavi, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Inigo Martinez due to injury. Xavi may make changes after a shock weekend defeat but our Champions League tips suggest they will still get the job done on Wednesday.
Predicted Lineup: Pena (GK), Balde, Christensen, Kounde, Cancelo, Romeu, De Jong, Fermin, Felix, Lewandowski, Yamal
Confirmed lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to watch – Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is the most likely goal threat in this game. He was on target against Girona at the weekend but missed some good chances for the second weekend running, with doubts growing over whether he’s still the player who excelled in the Bundesliga.
The Pole has only scored once in this competition this season but has still managed eight league goals.
