Zenit will look for a consolation win in the tournament if they host the group leaders.

Since the visitor has already qualified for the round of 16, the hosts have no reasonable urge or need to play in their last CL fight this season.

It will likely be another easy win for Dortmund if the manager doesn’t think about giving the core players some rest before the playoff games.

Also, the German outlook is unlikely to worry about the home team who haven’t won any of their five group games on their schedule.

The visitor has booked two of the three victories since 2014. The previous encounter in 2020 CL ​​brought BVB a 2-0 home win. Both teams scored two clashes in their 2014 CL schedule. The teams visited were the winners in both CL games in 2014.

As Dortmund has already confirmed its place in the playoffs this season, the remaining place in Group F of the Champions League group matches is up for grabs.

Having lost none of their CL clashes in the group so far this season, Lazio are the strongest contenders for the remaining lot in the group.

Club Brugge are just two points behind the hosts and could easily swap places on the table with a win in their last group game.

Lazio drew 1-1 in their last CL game against Dortmund. In the meantime, the Belgian outfits will be visiting after a 3-0 home win against Zenit in the final CL encounter.

Their previous encounter in the 2020 Champions League resulted in a 1-1 draw in Bruges. The hosts have won and lost two in their four meetings with other Belgian clubs. The visitor has only won one of his last ten games, with other Italian teams in all major competitions. The Belgian teams have not scored any goals in their last four meetings with other Italian clubs.

The hosts have been undefeated in the last five CL clashes and will try to end the group stage that way. Their previous encounter was on the way and they defeated Sevilla 4-0.

Krasnodar has an eye on the Europa League playoff chances this season. They had their first win in the CL group stage last time on schedule.

With the 1-0 home win against Rennes, they are three points ahead of Rennes on the table before the last group game.

Kepa Arrizabalaga will appear in Chelsea in the Champions League against Krasnodar for the first time since October. The Spaniard, who became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in 2018, struggled to adapt to the Premier League and was dropped by Frank Lampard following the arrival of Edouard Mendy. Lampard is expected to keep turning its resources as Chelsea have already won Group E with one game. Billy Gilmour will also start, with the Scottish U21 international aiming for full fitness after knee surgery, but Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi have problems with their Achilles tendon.

Their previous encounter in 2020 CL ​​brought Chelsea a 4-0 away win. The host has won all six clashes in their schedule with other Russian clubs. The visitor has played against other English clubs twice and is unbeaten in it. The hosts have played three clean sheets in their four CL clashes with other Russian clubs.

This season so far in the group stage without a win, Rennes is unlikely to end with a win on his group schedule.

The hosts have lost their last four CL clashes in a row and will host the previous CL encounter due to a 1-0 defeat en route to Krasnodar.

Sevilla, on the other hand, were unbeaten four games in a row in the CL group games. The 4-0 home defeat to Chelsea was the group’s first loss this season.

They have confirmed their place for the playoffs this season and are therefore on the safe side in the game.

Their previous encounter in 2020 CL ​​brought Sevilla a 1-0 home win. The hosts have been unbeaten five of their last six clashes against other Spanish clubs. The visitor has won two of his seven games against other French clubs. Both teams have scored with another Spanish club in Rennes’ last four games.

It will be one of the most anticipated clashes for football fans as Ronaldo faces Messi again after his split from La Liga El Clasico games.

Both teams have qualified for the round of 16 in the Champions League this season, which is why the Camp Nou will be fighting for pride.

Barcelona lead the table in Group G with a winning streak in the campaign for all five games. The Spanish team have scored 16 goals and only conceded two goals.

Juventus now has 4 wins and one defeat in their CL form. scored 11 goals and conceded 4 goals in return.

Barcelona have an injury crisis in their hands and have to do without Ansu Fati, Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto. Ousmane Dembele has also been banned for the remainder of the month and will not play that game. Ronald Araujo is back in Barcelona and will likely work with Clement Lenglet on defense. Samuel Umtiti still has fitness concerns and remains a doubt for this game.

Juventus have some injury concerns of their own and are without Merih Demiral, Giorgio Chiellini and Gianluigi Buffon. Alvaro Morata is available for this game and is expected to start alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

The host has been undefeated in the last five meetings. Both teams have only scored in one of their last six games. The Catalans have recorded four of their last five overall wins. Their previous encounter brought Barca a 2-0 away win. Only two of their last seven clashes ended in a draw.

The NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium will bring together the lowest residents of Group G in the group games of the Champions League this season for the last clash.

The winner of this clash will be included in the Europa League playoffs this season as both teams only have one point on the group table.

Dynamo Kyiv have recorded three losses this season after losing 3-0 in CL on the way to Juventus last season.

Ferencvaros also marked his third straight defeat in his CL schedule with the 3-0 home defeat to Barcelona in their last CL game.

Their previous encounter resulted in a 2-2 draw at Ferencvaros. The guest did not play against a club from his opponent’s country. The hosts won both clashes against other Hungarian teams in 1989.

If three teams have the same nine points on the table, the finals determine which two teams reach the round of 16 on the Champions League schedule.

PSG have won two games in the CL games that lead to the final group bout. Their previous encounter was on the way and they defeated Man Utd 3-1.

Basaksehir has now lost four of his last five games in the group. They will be visiting after a 3-4 home defeat against RB Leipzig.

Their previous encounter in 2020 CL ​​brought PSG a 2-0 away win. The visitor has not played against a club from his opponent’s country. The hosts have won the last five clashes with other Turkish clubs. The French prospects have conceded a goal in four out of five such games.

RB Leipzig had a wonderful run in the last CL season. This season they are trapped in a close group with PSG and Man Utd.

The winner of the game will advance to the round of 16 in the Champions League and the other will likely end up in the Europa League playoffs this season.

RB Leipzig will return home after beating Basaksehir 3-4 on the road in the last CL fight.

Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered a 3-1 loss at home to PSG in the previous CL encounter on schedule.

RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann has to do without the German international Benjamin Henrichs, the South Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan, the right-back Lukas Klostermann, the Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer and the young striker Fabrice Hartmann.

In the meantime, Manchester United will also miss some players. Left-back Luke Shaw, center-back Phil Jones and striker Anthony Martial are out due to injury. Brazilian midfielder Fred is suspended while doubts remain about the availability of veteran striker Edinson Cavani and goalkeeper David de Gea.

Their previous encounter in 2020 CL ​​brought Red Devils a 5-0 home win. The hosts have won a total of two games with other English clubs.
