📂 Slavia Prague v Barcelona Cheat Sheet

📈 Slavia Prague v Barcelona Form & Tactics

After Slavia Prague secured another Czech league title in December, things have proved far more troublesome in the Champions League. An unforgiving fixture list has really sabotaged them, and they’ve only managed to pick up three points from their six Champions League games.

Qualification to the knockouts is still mathematically possible if they win their remaining games, but it would require a miracle of other results going their way across the final two matchdays.

With the Czech domestic season finishing on the 13th of December, Slavia Prague have been playing friendlies to keep up their fitness levels and conditioning ahead of their remaining Champions League ties.

It’s been a fantastic period for Barca, which saw them win eleven consecutive games; that winning run came to an end on Sunday evening after being beaten by Real Sociedad, a game which they ultimately deserved to win but for missed chances. Barca are top of the league, just one point ahead of Real Madrid and with the same number of games played.

The Champions League has proved more difficult for Barcelona after defeats against Chelsea and PSG; qualification to the knockouts almost looks a certainty. However, there’s still some work required if they want to get a bye to the quarter-final.

📔 Slavia Prague v Barcelona Formation & Team News

Slavia Prague have been tactically adaptable in the Champions League this season, often switching between a 3-4-3 and 4-5-1. Jindřich Trpišovský is renowned for playing an intense playing style.

Since taking over in 2017, he’s transformed the team into a dominant force in the Czech league with a focus on extreme physicality and direct attacking. This playing style has been adapted somewhat to fit the demands of European football and the different challenges it entails.

Slavia Prague will be without Alexandr Buzek, Filip Horsky, Dominik Javorcek, and Petr Sevcik, with all of them missing out through injury.

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona team often line up with a 4-3-3 formation, but that can be fluid with a 4-2-3-1 to accommodate a number 10. Barcelona play a very front-foot and offensive style of football, there’s a big emphasis on high pressing off the ball, with risk taking is encouraged in the final third.

While a focus on possession is important, Barcelona are very happy to mix it up and play more directly, often looking to use the abilities of dangerous wingers to cause unpredictability and chaos for the opposition defence.

Barcelona are currently without Andreas Christensen, Dro Fernandez, and Gavi through injury, while Lamine Yamal is suspended. Raphinha has been given the all clear to play, while Ferran Torres has fitness question marks hanging over his shoulders.
