Preview:
Barcelona head into this after a 3-0 away win over Sevilla in their previous La Liga clash on Sunday.
Raphinha, Lewandowski and Garcia scored for the Blaugrana side as they stayed in 2nd place with 10 points on the board after 4 matches.
The Spanish side made the return to the UCL after playing in the UEL last season following a rather poor campaign in the Champions League. This is their chance to make amends and get back to the upper echelons of European football.
On the other hand, Plzen beat Slovan Liberec 1-0 away from home in their 1. Liga match on Saturday.
Sykora scored the only goal as Viktoria continued their flying start to the season. Plzen beat HJK, Sheriff and Qarabag FK in their previous UCL Qualifier rounds to ensure their place in the group stage.
They are targeting a 5th win across competitions when they face Barcelona.
Both sides last met in the UCL in 2011 Group H match, where Barcelona won 4-0 away.

Barcelona possible 11:
ter Stegen, Roberto, Koundé, Pique, Alba, De Jong, Busquets, Pedri, Raphinha, Lewandowski and Fati
Viktoria Plzen possible 11:
Stanek, Havel, Hejda, Pernica, Holik, Kalvach, Bucha, Mosquera, Sykora, Vikanova and Chory
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Viktoria Plzen
The hosts are far too strong for the visitors; who despite having good form lacking the experience at this stage of European football. Hence, Barcelona should win this one quiet comfortably.
Players to watch out for: Lewandowski, Pedri, Vikanova and Sykora.
