Barcelona are one of the few teams that have already booked their ticket to the next round of the Champions League. It is a really impressive feat with two more matches to play, and Barcelona will now be hosted by Dutch side PSV on Wednesday. PSV have been really competitive in all their matches so far but have grabbed just a single point.

PSV (0-3-1) scored the first goal in each of their last three matches but have grabbed just a single point in that span. In their previous match they did it in the 2nd minute of their away match against Tottenham before conceding twice in a 10-minute span towards the end of the match to eventually lose by 1-2. They are now without a win in their last ten matches in the competition (0-7-3) and have not won any of their last four against Spanish opponents (0-4-4). Even so, a win here could potentially give them qualification chances, at least for the 3rd spot that leads to the Europa League. Barcelona (3-0-1) have had a pretty easy job in the Champions League so far, where they only just missed their first points in a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan. Despite being much better than their opponents in that tough match in Italy, they took the lead but were equalized a few minutes later for the final 1-1. Barcelona are now win-less in their last three matches in all competitions (0-1-2), and have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches. Barcelona sit just one point off the top of the La Liga table, despite picking up just one of the last six available points. However, no side in Champions League history has topped a group more times than Barca (19).

Barcelona are not in very good form at his point but have already qualified from this group. They struggle to keep clean sheets this season and there is a good chance PSV Eindhoven, and especially Irving Lozano, will hurt them. The Over 3.25 Goals looks nice here, but I will go with the home team to cover the spread in hopes that Barcelona don’t suddenly wake up.
