Barcelona will look to win their first Champions League game of the season when they face Young Boys on Tuesday.
Heading into their first Champions League game against Monaco two weeks ago, the Blaugrana were unbeaten, but surprisingly lost against the French outfit, putting them on the backfoot in the League Phase.
Match Preview
Barcelona Recent Form
Things were all going so swimmingly for Hansi Flick at the beginning of his Barca tenure as he won all five of his first five La Liga fixtures.
Then, the honeymoon period ended when his team suffered a 2-1 loss against Monaco in the Champions League. They recovered from that domestically by defeating Villarreal and Getafe.
However, Barca lost their first La Liga game of the season at the weekend as Osasuna put them to the sword in a 4-2 away loss.
Barcelona Injury News
Flick's squad has been ravaged by injuries this season. At the moment, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are all absent.
Frenkie de Jong hasn't played a game this season due to an ankle problem but is on the cusp of making a return and could make this one.
Due to Ter Stegen's serious knee injury, Barca recently completed the free transfer acquisition of Wojciech Szczesny.

Barcelona vs Young Boys - Prediction
Barcelona may have had a couple of dodgy results recently, but for the most part this season they have been excellent under Flick, while Young Boys should absolutely be more worried about their league form than trying to pull off a Camp Nou miracle.
