Wednesday night at Camp Nou feels like one of those evenings where everything is on the line. Barcelona head into the final League Phase game needing a win, and maybe a little luck elsewhere, to sneak into the top eight. Copenhagen arrive with a different aim but the same urgency. Five points separate ninth from twenty fourth, yet goal difference keeps the door slightly open for both.

These sides have crossed paths four times, all in the Champions League. Barça hold a narrow edge with two wins, though the last two meetings ended level. Goals have been fairly steady rather than wild. An average of two per game fits the picture.
Barcelona team overview
Barça hit a small bump just over a week ago when an 11 match winning run ended at Real Sociedad. It felt like a wake up call rather than a collapse. Hansi Flick’s side responded with a lively 4-2 win over Slavia Praha in Europe, then followed it up with a comfortable 3-0 league victory against Oviedo.
That result kept the Blaugrana top of La Liga, although only by a single point. Europe, however, is far less forgiving. After the Slavia game, Flick described this fixture as a final.
You can see why. Too many teams sit on 13 points, and Barcelona do not control their own fate. Lamine Yamal looked sharp again at the weekend, ending a brief goal drought with an acrobatic finish, and should keep his place.
Pedri and Ferran Torres are both sidelined with hamstring issues, while Gavi and Andreas Christensen remain out following surgery and ligament trouble.

FC Copenhagen team overview
Copenhagen arrive in Spain a little short on confidence domestically. The Lions sit fifth in the Superliga, well off the pace, and have lost their last two league games 2-0.
Europe has been kinder, if still uneven. A gritty draw with Napoli last week kept their hopes alive, even after going a goal down and losing a man. Jordan Larsson’s equaliser summed up the fight in this group.
That point leaves Jacob Neestrup’s side with a real shot at the playoff spots, though the away record is worrying. Only one win from the last five European trips is not ideal preparation for Camp Nou.
Thomas Delaney’s red card against Napoli rules him out here, a big miss given his experience. Magnus Mattsson remains out with a cruciate ligament injury, while Rodrigo Huescas is also sidelined with a knee problem

Prediction
Barcelona should edge this 3-1 at Camp Nou. Barca have seen all of their last 12 Champions League games clear three goals, and need a win with goal difference tight around the top eight. Copenhagen have conceded twice or more in six of their last seven, yet scored against Napoli, so a reply feels likely over ninety minutes here tonight.
Three reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- Copenhagen conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven games.
- All the last 12 games of FC Barcelona in the Champions League produced 3+ goals.
- Five of Barça’s last six games overall went over the 2.5 goal line.
