Team News

Porto
Barcelona
  • FC Porto could be without no fewer than five players due to injury.
  • 40-year-old centre-back Pepe is a doubt with a muscle problem.
  • Barcelona will remain without Frenkie de Jong for this one, as the midfielder continues what is expected to be a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
  • Raphinha has also been ruled out for a number of weeks, while Pedri has now returned to training.

Prediction

  • The hosts were beaten by Benfica in a top of the table clash at the weekend, and currently sit third in Liga Portugal, with 16 points.
  • In their opening group match, Porto ran out 3-1 winners over Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.
  • Barcelona are yet to taste defeat this season in all competitions, and have won seven of their last eight matches.
  • Xavi's side got their Champions League campaign up and running with a 5-0 victory over Royal Antwerp two weeks ago.
  • The visitors should have enough to secure another win here.
