The Catalan side booked their place in the last eight by beating Chelsea in the round of 16 and they will attempt to put one foot in the semi-finals by winning at home ahead of next week’s second leg in Italy.
Barca come into the game having rescued a point away to Sevilla in La Liga at the weekend, with Lionel Messi emerging from the bench to help his side snatch a 2-2 draw, thus preserving their unbeaten record in the Primera Division.
Roma, meanwhile, defeated Shakhtar Donetsk to reach the quarter-finals and, despite being on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions, they will have to raise their game significantly if they are to progress past Barca.

Match Preview
Barcelona are one of the favourites to win this season’s Champions League and Roma must be at their absolute best if they are to stand a chance of derailing Ernesto Valverde’s men.
The 2015 Camp Nou meeting between the sides - which the Blaugrana won 6-1 - will still be fresh in the memory of many of the players who take to the field on Wednesday and the Giallorossi will be desperate to avoid a similar fate. Messi got two goals that evening with Luis Suarez also bagging a double and they will once again be key to any success the Catalan side enjoy.
Some pundits, such as former Italy and Juventus star Alessio Tacchinardi, have said that Roma have “no chance” of winning against Barca, particularly at Camp Nou and it is clear that they will have to adopt an ultra-defensive approach if they wish to bring the tie back to the Olimpico alive.
Eusebio di Francesco will be relying on the likes of Kostas Manolas and their highly rated goalkeeper Alisson to martial the defence through difficult terrain on Wednesday, while hoping that Edin Dzeko and Co. can harvest whatever chances they do manage to cultivate.
If Roma do manage to upset the odds and pull off a result it will certainly make for a fascinating second leg in the Italian capital next week.
