Barcelona take on the visitors PSV at the Camp Nou in the Round 1 of the UEFA Champions League Group B. The match will be played in the eponymous city Barcelona on Tuesday, September 18th.
The time has finally come to see the most expected football tournament in the world. Barcelona will face such teams as PSV, Tottenham Hotspur and Inter in their Group B. Their first fixture will be against the Dutch team and the Blaugrana are the favourites in the lead-up to it. The team of Ernesto Valverde has been in a great shape recently, they have not lost any points in the Primera Division this season yet (have won over Alaves with a 3-0 score, over Valladolid with a 1-0 score, over Huesca with a 8-2 score, over Real Sociedad with a 2-1 score). Lionel Messi has been especially good lately along with Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and other star players of the team. In their last three matches Barcelona beat Real Sociedad with a 2-1 score, Huesca with a 8-2 score and Valladolid with a 1-0 score.

PSV were unlucky to get drawn into the Group B because they would face three of the strongest European teams such as Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur and Inter there. For now the Boeren are the least expected team to get through to the 1/8-finals from the Group B but they have the opportunity to prove everybody wrong in the upcoming match already. The team of Mark Van Bommel went through the qualification play-offs before getting to the group stage, they beat BATE Borisov with an overall 6-2 score then. In their last three matches PSV beat Den Haag with a 7-0 score, Willem II with a 6-1 score and BATE Borisov with a 3-0 score.
The upcoming fixture will likely be very interesting and exciting. The fans from both sides missed the UEFA Champions League matches very much. Barcelona have been looking really strong and almost unstoppable lately. PSV have been looking good too though so they are unlikely to lose with a big score on Tuesday.
Prediction for the match: PSV to win with +3.0 handicap.
