Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur are set to go head to head on Tuesday in the Champions League as the season moves ahead. Barca go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona

Barcelona have done extremely well in 2018/19 UEFA Champions League so far and are yet to taste defeat. They will look to continue playing positive football ahead.

Barcelona are at the moment first in the points table after 5 games with 13 points. Against Tottenham Hotspur they have got formidable opponents and it should be a test, although if Barca play their best football then they will be unstoppable.

Barca have their next three games against Levante, Celta Vigo and Getafe in La Liga.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have also done fine in 2018/19 Champions League. They will look to carry one playing the same way.

Spurs at the moment are second in the points table after 5 games with 7 points. They will be hoping to play their best football against Barca away.

Barcelona have a good record against Tottenham Hotspur and will look to continue the good work.

Erik Lamela, Juan Foyth and Kieran Trippier are all doubtful for Tottenham Hotspur for the Barca game.

As for Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti and Rafinha will both be not available as due to injury.

Prediction

It should be a good game as both teams will give their all, but in the end I expect Barcelona to get the job done and earn three points. They might win 3-1. The goalscorers might be Messi, Suarez and Coutinho for Barca and Son for Spurs.
