  • Competition: Champions League
  • Date: Tuesday, 19th September 2023
  • Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: Estadio Olímpico (Barcelona)

After a few not-so-impressive years, Barcelona seems to return to the highest stage. Last season, they won the title in LaLiga and announced their big ambitions. This season, Barcelona started with 13 points in the first five league matches. In the previous game, they won 5-0 at home versus Betis. That big win will give Barcelona a lot of confidence ahead of the Champions League start on Tuesday night and the game against Antwerp. 

Antwerp was never among the best Belgian teams. Still, last season, they won the first championship title in 66 years, so Antwerp got the chance to compete in the Champions League. In the only two matches in the European Cup, precedor of the Champions League, Antwerp lost 8-1 on aggregate score against Real Madrid. But let's get back to the present. Antwerp are without a loss in the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road against Westerlo. 

Barcelona vs Antwerp pick: Over 3.5 goals

Barcelona scored 11 goals in the last three matches. Two of those three games went over 3.5 goals. On the other hand, Antwerp scored seven goals in the last three matches. Over 3.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Barcelona team news

Barcelona trashed Betis 5-0, but the head coach Xavi wasn't fully satisfied. He said, "This is a little closer to the Barcelona we want, but we have to improve, especially in defense. It was not a perfect match. I refuse to say that. It was excellent, yes. We didn't do everything well. We lost some balls in the front areas and this can't happen. We have to improve many things."

Barcelona will be without injured Ronald Araujo and Pedri in the upcoming tie against Antwerp.
