Wednesday night marks Barcelona's third Champions League clash in the ongoing 2019/20 campaign.

The first two games were filled with mixed success.

Their curtain-raiser against Borussia Dortmund did not really yield an impressive performance from the Catalan giants as they barely got away with a goalless draw at Signal Iduna Park.

That display was definitely a worrying sign for the Blaugrana and despite going down early in the game following that one, this time against Inter Milan at the Camp Nou, they managed to turn things around and tally their first victory of the group stages against the Italian team.

Even though that puts them in a decent position moving forward, it also gives them a clear chance of practically sealing the deal with a similar showing against their Wednesday night opposition, Slavia Prague.

Of course, on paper, it definitely looks like one of the easiest fixtures in the group.

After all, the Czech team can barely go toe to toe with the likes of Borussia Dortmund or the Nerazzurri and even less so with the giant of modern football that is Barcelona.

But regardless of that, this game is definitely starting to look like a banana skin game for the Catalans more than anything else.

They are rising in form, having beaten Eibar on the road just last weekend and overtaking Real Madrid in the La Liga standings in the process. Not only that, but they are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in the last two and scoring a total of 13 goals along the way.

By all accounts, the Barcelona Slavia Prague are hosting on Wednesday seem like an entirely different beast from the Barcelona we were watching at the very beginning of the ongoing campaign.

Morale should definitely be high at this point and usually, when that happens, performances also tend to get a significant boost.

After all, it's all in the head, isn't it?

But this particular game is much more important than initially meets the eye.

And sure, after already dealing with both Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan, the match against Slavia Prague doesn't look like the most appetising fixture the group has to offer.

Their upcoming hosts will be acutely aware that they are the favourites to finish at the bottom of this group of death. For that very reason, there is nothing for them to lose tonight.

If Barcelona don't take this clash seriously, they could regret it quite quickly.

Even though they did beat Inter Milan in their second fixture of the campaign, anything other than a victory in Prague would leave them with just one win after three games to their names; by all accounts, hardly an ideal situation.

And we should also not forget that this is the very same team that nearly sealed a victory over the Nerazzurri at the San Siro in their second Champions League fixture, but a late equaliser salvaged a point for the Italians.

Seeing how Barcelona struggled with Antonio Conte's men in the first place, an upset in Prague is well within the realms of possibility.

But victory on Wednesday would put Blaugrana into a very promising position in this group.

So much more is on the line here in Prague than initially meets the eye.

Getting the three points and going all-in for them opens the door for smooth sailing for the Catalans.

But it all starts with jumping over the banana skin and playing their cards right.

Let's see whether they can do that or not.
