Barcelona, Spain hosts Moscow in Camp Nou in their opening Group G match of the 2012 UEFA Champions League on Sept. 19.  

Spartak's head coach is Unai Emery. He was the Spanish coach of Valencia from 2008 to 2012 and though he knows the territory, he has never led a victory over Barcelona before, according to SB Nation. He took over the Moscow team in May. 

Barcelona is highly anticipated to win Wednesday's game; they have not lost a home European competition since October 2009, the site also reported. They also just came off of their 4-1 victory over Getafe on Saturday.

All around, the Russians are not getting that much support for a victory in Wednesday's game.

"Lionel Messi and the rest of the Barcelona attack will be a difficult group for Spartak to defend because the Russian club doesn't have the pace and strength needed on defense to prevent the Spanish club from scoring a lot of goals," the Bleacher Report stated. "Barcelona will be highly motivated to start their new European season after dominating domestically so far this season."

However, they also predicted that Spartak will open scoring in the game and put up a good fight against their opponents, giving Barcelona "an early wake-up call."

It might not be such an easy win for Barcelona like many are betting their money on.
