CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!! Tottenham vs Barcelona On Wednesday, @ 8:00pm (Predict & Grab ₦5,000)





Tottenham face a huge Champions League test in just their second game of Group B as Spanish giants Barcelona head to Wembley on Wednesday night.
Spurs were approaching something of a crisis following three straight defeats, but won 2-0 at Huddersfield with two Harry Kane goals this weekend to end the slump.
Still, Spurs’ 2-1 defeat at Inter Milan on matchday one means that this Champions League tie against Barca is already if not a must-win game,         then certainly a must-not-lose.
There is realistically never a good time to face a Barca side that includes Lionel Messi, but Ernesto Valverde’s La Liga champions are stuck in a rut without a win in their last three games with a defence out of sorts for the trip to London.

Team News

Tottenham face an injury crisis with Dele Alli (hamstring) ruled out, while Christian Eriksen (abdominal), Jan Vertonghen (hamstring), Mousa Dembele (knock) and Hugo Lloris thigh) are all doubts.
As for Barca, Sergi Roberto was forced off in Saturday’s Camp Nou draw against Athletic Bilbao. The 26-year-old will miss the Tottenham game due to a muscular injury.

Match Facts

Barcelona have lost just one of their last 11 Champions League matches against English clubs (W8 D2). However they are without a win in their last two visits to England in the competition (D1 L1), a 1-1 draw with Chelsea last season and a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City in 2016/17.
This will be only the third ever match between Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona, and the first since April 1982 in the semi-finals of the Cup Winners’ Cup, which Barcelona won 2-1 on aggregate.
Spurs won all three home games in last season’s Champions League group stage, scoring three goals in each match.
