PRAGUE (Interstat) — Barcelona looks to rebound from a rare domestic setback when it visits SK Slavia Praha in a UEFA Champions League group stage match on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.

The Spanish giants arrive in the Czech capital following a 2-1 loss at Real Sociedad on Sunday, a result that snapped a seven-game winning streak across all competitions. Despite that defeat, Barcelona’s form remains formidable, having scored 25 goals in its last 10 matches.

Slavia Praha, the Czech First League champions, face a daunting task in their final group stage fixture. Their European campaign has been a struggle, failing to win in five matches (0-2-3) and being outscored 9-2. They were last in European action on Dec. 9, a 3-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur.

The matchup pits one of Europe’s most potent attacks against a resilient but overmatched defense. Barcelona has averaged 2.8 goals per game during its recent 10-game run, with victories over rivals Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Slavia Praha has managed just two goals in five Champions League contests this season and has not scored in the competition since a 2-2 draw with Bodo/Glimt on Sept. 17.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Barcelona is a heavy favorite, projected to win 3-0.

For Barcelona, the match offers a chance to solidify its position at the top of its Champions League group before returning to La Liga play. The club’s next match is at home against Real Oviedo on Sunday.

Slavia Praha, already eliminated from knockout round contention, will be playing for pride and a potential place in the Europa League knockout round playoffs, a long-shot prospect requiring a victory and other results to fall in its favor.

Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. local time at the Fortuna Arena in Prague.
