Already first in the group, with a big advantage, Barca will make a large turnover for this match.
Adriano and Afellay are sure out, while Valdes, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Abidal, Busquets, Keita, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Alexis, Messi, Villa will be all rested.
With a team full of reserves Barca will play against a rival that - after the win of local title - sacrifiyed the remaining two matches puttimng on field second choice players to concentrate his effort on CL group.
Their situation is without hopes in CL, but they can gain at least a place in EL.
Not all depends from them, because Plzen could be happy also with a that assure to assure third place, but Bate has no missings ( only two players out were unavailable in the whole group phase), and against a team ful of youngsters they could avoid at least to be trashed
