Correct score prediction: Slavia Prague 0-3 Barcelona
This has not been a particularly pleasant campaign for Slavia Prague, as they are still hunting for their first win in this competition and did not score a single goal in their last five UEFA Champions League games.
On the other hand, Barcelona won 11 of their last 12 games and have six clean sheets in their last eight matches. They should be able to secure a fairly comfortable victory without conceding.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Barcelona's 11-match winning streak ended with a 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad last weekend. Hansi Flick's troops have a 3-1-2 win-draw-loss record in the UEFA Champions League and are in the hunt for a top-eight spot.
On the other hand, Slavia Prague have drawn three and lost three of their six matches in this competition. While they have suffered three defeats in as many away matches, all their home games ended in stalemates.
It is also important to note that Slavia Prague need to win their remaining two matches for a chance to advance to the knockout phase.
Ahead of this skirmish, Barcelona are the expected winners at 2/5 (1.40). Teams with these odds usually have a 71.4% probability of winning.
