Prediction: 1-2
Barcelona
Barcelona will be looking to build on a come-from-behind win over Inter when they take on Slavia Prague at Sinobo Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Catalan giants aim to regain top position in Group F and seeing that Leo Messi’s injury is in the past, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the La Liga champions.
Ernesto Valverde’s troops are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and seeing that Slavia Prague suffered a 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund at home in their last group game, away win should be considered. Luis Suarez, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win over the Nerazzurri, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. The Czech champions are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s football match, meaning that the Catalan giants should have a number opportunities to score on the break.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Soucek):
Tomas Soucek is a Czech Republic international who plays for both Slavia Prague and the Czech national team. Soucek is a product of Slavia Prague football academy and after spending several years at the likes of Viktoria Zizkov and Slovan Liberec, he returned to the Sinobo Stadium outfit in the 2017/2018 season.
Tomas Soucek has established himself as a first-team regular at Slavia Prague and he made his debut with Czech Republic on November 15, 2016 in a friendly against Denmark. The 192-cm tall midfielder has 13 caps for Czech Republic U21 team as well.
His main position on the field is defensive midfield, but he is used as central midfielder and centre-back as well. Tomas Soucek was born in Havlickuv Brod on February 27, 1995. His preferred foot is right and his contract with Slavia Prague should expire on June 30, 2024.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
