After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo, Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in the Champions League when they take on Brest at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Tuesday evening. The Catalans are on a seven-game winning run at home in all competitions, but bear in mind that star winger Lamine Yamal remains in the recovery room. Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, failed to spoil Monaco’s party at Stade Louis II at the weekend and despite their fine displays in the elite competition this term, we are tempted to bet on Hansi Flick’s troops, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The likes of Locko, Lees-Melou, Haidara, Faivre, and Coulibaly should miss out with injuries for the away team. The two clubs meet for the first time in the Champions League.
Score Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Brest
