Barcelona must pick themselves up from a dispiriting weekend defeat as they host Slavia Prague in the Champions League this evening.
Ernesto Valverde's side are having a Jekyll & Hyde season: they have blown teams out of the water at Camp Nou with a perfect La Liga record at home (five wins and a +15 goal difference), but have lost three of their six games on the road, including a 3-1 shock at Levante on Saturday.
Barca were a little fortunate both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also drew this weekend, but the Blaugrana are back at home, where a win would all but guarantee them a spot in the last-16.
Slavia are bottom of Group F, and with Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund battling it out in Germany, three more points would ease the pressure on Valverde a little.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Slavia Prague
While Barca may be struggling away from home, they are still formidable at Camp Nou - especially if Messi is in form.
Slavia may fancy a go after their near miss at home, but the Blaugrana should seal another three points here.
