Atalanta will be hoping to secure a top-eight finish in the group stage of the Champions League on Wednesday night when they head to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys to face Barcelona. Blaugrana are second in the League Phase standings, while La Dea are seventh heading into the final match before the knockouts. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Barcelona are on 18 points, three off leaders Liverpool, and secured their entry into the last 16 of the competition last week in that nine-goal thriller against Benfica. Nevertheless, despite already booking their place in the next round, the Catalans are playing for a crucial seeding position so there’s still plenty on the line.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are on 14 points, just one point ahead of the six teams tied on 13, making this a must-win fixture for them in order to forego the playoff tussle. Let’s get into the key stats at play in this one.

Barcelona - Atalanta: Form Analysis
Barcelona were involved in arguably the match of the League Phase last week and managed to come out on top in a back-and-forth contest that saw six goals scored in the second half.
However, the Catalans are no strangers to big scorelines, as their weekend fixture ended in a 7-1 victory over Valencia, meaning four of their last five games have now seen six or more goals scored.
Blaugrana have been excellent at home in this competition, winning all three matches to date, scoring three or more goals in each for a grand total of 12 over the period.
Barca are the highest-scoring team in the Champions League this season with 26 goals!
Meanwhile, Atalanta were also involved in a high-scoring affair last week, albeit they were the only side on the scoresheet in a 5-0 victory over Sturm Graz at home.
La Dea followed up that result with a 2-1 victory over Como in the Serie A at the weekend and have now only lost one of their last five matches across all competitions.
Notably, the visitors have been flawless on the road in the Champions League, winning all three matches to date, while scoring two or more in each game and six in their last outing against Young Boys.

Barcelona & Atalanta Squad Analysis
Barcelona were hopeful of having Dani Olmo, who missed the last two games with a calf injury, available for this match, but that now seems unlikely after he missed training on Monday.
If Olmo is confirmed as out, he will join the likes of Inigo Martinez (hamstring), Marc Bernal (knee) and Marc-Andre ter Stegen (knee), who are also ruled out for the hosts this week due to injury.
Robert Lewandowski (9) and Raphinha (8) are the leading goal-scorers in this season’s competition!
Atalanta have two confirmed injury absentees for this trip to Catalonia, with Gianluca Scamacca (cruciate ligament) and Odilon Kossounou (adductor) both sidelined for the foreseeable future with serious injuries.
Charles De Ketelaere has scored in each of La Dea’s last three Champions League games, while Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman have each netted three in the last four.
