The other group that is hanging in the balance is Group B, where Barcelona have already qualified, but Tottenham and Inter Milan are fighting for the other spot. Barcelona will now host Tottenham on Tuesday and only the Englishmen are actively looking for points.

Barcelona (4-0-1) secured their ticket to the knockout stage of the Champions League with a nice 2-1 win over PSV in their previous match. They are undefeated in Champions League matches at home since the start of the 2013/14 season. They have a massive 26-0-2 record ever since, scoring at least twice in 19 of those matches. Barcelona won more than half of those matches (11) by at least three goals. Barcelona’s overall home record against English clubs stands at 20-2-11, having won each of the last five here, and seven of the last eight. If they don’t lose to Tottenham here it will be the 12th time that they go through the group stage undefeated. Tottenham (2-2-1) pulled a really nice win in their previous match when they scored at the 80th minute to beat Inter Milan by 0-1. That win kept their qualification hopes alive but things are not very simple. They can qualify with a win here, or if Inter Milan do not get more points than them when they clash against PSV. Tottenham have not been very good in their trips to Spain over the years (0-3-2). But they have been consistent scorers in away matches in the competition, scoring in each of their last seven. Moreover, they usually score in the second halves of their away matches, scoring at least once in seven of their last nine.

A draw or even a loss would not mean the end of things for Tottenham, who simply need to get the same, or better, result as Inter Milan. Tottenham will surely look to score here, and Barcelona will most likely get on the score-sheet as well. I will take the Over 3.25 Goals here.
