BAR vs SLPG Dream11: Team news, line-up, top picks and predictions

FC Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has been under immense pressure lately after his side fell to their third loss in LaLiga last Saturday. And despite not losing once in the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona have failed to convince their fanbase so far. A tie against minnows Slavia Prague at home has come at the right time for Valverde to make a statement.

BAR vs SLPG Dream11 Top picks

Lionel Messi is back from injury and back among the goals for his side. He will be wearing the armband and be looking to inspire his side in the Group F meeting with Slavia Prague. Frenkie de Jong has been starring in midfield for Barcelona since joining the club in the summer and we can expect another similar performance from the Dutch youngster

Slavia Prague tormented the Catalan side last time out. Though we do not expect a similar story at the Camp Nou, the visitors can be a surprise package, especially considering Barcelona's inconsistent form this season. Romanian attacker Nicolae Stanciu and Lukas Masopust will have a big part to play if Slavia Prague were to leave Spain with a positive result.

BAR vs SLPG Dream11 match prediction

Barcelona 2-1 Slavia Prague

We do not expect a stroll for Barcelona even though at home, considering their showing against Slavia in the reverse fixture. But the home side has enough quality to prevail and another slender 2-1 victory seems accurate. Lionel Messi with a goal and an assist can be the source of Barcelona's attack.
