Barcelona welcome Portuguese giants Porto to Catalonia in a meeting between the top two of Champions League Group H on Tuesday night.
Both clubs are level on nine points after four games while Shakhtar Donetsk are skulking behind in third place with six points. If Barcelona can secure a victory on home soil, they are guaranteed of a knockout-round berth. Porto would also qualify with a win if Shakhtar fail to defeat bottom side Antwerp on the same night.

Barcelona vs Porto score prediction
Barcelona edged a controversial contest in Portugal by a single goal while Conceicao rued a raft of refereeing decisions. "We played against more than a club," the Porto coach seethed, nodding towards Barcelona's motto. "And that is all I have to say."
Porto will also be playing against history on Tuesday. The Iberian behemoths have not beaten Barcelona since 1985 when they came up against a side managed by the late Terry Venables.
The Catalans may have won eight of their nine home games this season but Xavi was left lamenting his side's mentality after dropping points against Rayo on the weekend. With home advantage to lean upon, Barcelona are unlikely to lose this midweek but may not get the win to guarantee their place in the knockout stage just yet.
Prediction: Barcelona 0-0 Porto
