Here’s what you need to know before this Champions League game:

Barcelona team news

Barcelona’s numerous injury problems mean that Xavi will have to become more creative in dealing with key absences in his squad.

Marc Guiu was the final beneficiary as the Masia graduate came off the bench to score Barca’s winning goal against Athletic Club. He is unlikely to start against Shakhtar but he could be included in the squad.

Gavi’s suspension and Frenkie de Jong’s injury mean options in midfield are limited. Oriol Romeu will sit at the base, with Ilkay Gündogan and Fermin Lopez expected to start alongside him.

Raphinha, Sergi Roberto, Robert Lewandowski and Jules Kounde will not be there, but there is a chance Pedri will make his long-awaited return as a substitute after a hamstring injury.

News about the Shakhtar Donetsk team

Shahktar has no new injury concerns. Both Ivan Petryak and Lassina Traore have been missing for months and will not be fit in time to play in Catalonia.

The starting lineup is expected to include Taras Stepanenko, Ukraine’s 80-cap star, and 22-year-old striker Danylo Sikan, who scored twice in the 3-2 win in Antwerp on matchday two in early October.

Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk result prediction

Barcelona’s functional team celebrated their ninth win of the season in all competitions by successfully seeing off Athletic Club, but there is no doubt that their cohesion and attacking threat have diminished with key players missing through injury.

Without attacking stars like Lewandowski and Raphinha, Barca have relied on Ferran Torres and Joao Felix to lead them to narrow victories over the past month.

Lionel Messi, David Villa and Dani Alves were among the Barca legends who played in their last meeting with Shakhtar in 2011, when they completed a comfortable 6-1 aggregate victory with a 1-0 victory in the quarter-finals.

In their last game, Shakhtar managed a comfortable 3-0 win against Cherkasi, but it will be difficult to pick up points on Wednesday.

Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Shakhtar Donets
