Barcelona eye victory away against Tottenham Hotspur in 2018/19 UEFA Champions League
Barcelona are set to play Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League as the season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win.
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Wembley Stadium, London
Barcelona have had a great start to their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign, defeating PSV Eindhoven 4-0 in their first game. They will now look to make further inroads as they take on Spurs away.
Barca know it won’t be an easy game against a good side like Tottenham and that also away but if they play to their true potential then sky is the limit.
Barcelona have players like Messi and they should just go out their, avoid complacency and hope for the best. Barca next play Inter Milan in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have had a poor start to their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League loosing to Inter. They will be out their to get a positive result on Wednesday night.
Spurs will have to give their all if they think of gaining anything from playing giants Barcelona.
Barca have a better record against Tottenham and they will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm are both doubtful for Tottenham ahead of the Wednesday night clash.
As for Barcelona, Nelson Semedo is available and will likely play.
Tottenham Hotspur XI : Gazzaniga, Trippier, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Davies, Dembele, Dier, Moura, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane.
Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Lenglet, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Coutinho, Rakitic, Vidal, Messi, Suarez.
Prediction
I expect it to be a tightly fought contest between two good sides. I think it will end a 2-2 draw. The goalscorers might be Erik Lamela and Harry Kane for Spurs and Vidal and Suarez for Barcelona.
