The final qualification places will be decided alongside finding out which teams will drop into the UEFA Europa League after the group stages.
All eyes will be on Salzburg's bid to dispose of Liverpool, with the reigning champions flirting with a shock elimination in Austria.
Jurgen Klopp's side need a point to secure progression, but a defeat could see their title defence prematurely end, unless Napoli lose at home to Genk.
Liverpool can still qualify with a defeat, provided it is by a one-goal margin of a 5-4 scoreline or higher. Anything less and they will drop into the Europa League, provided Carlo Ancelotti's charges at least draw their tie.
The Italians are overwhelming favourites to win their match after Genk earned only one point from their five games.
Salzburg are Liverpool's equivalent in the Austrian Bundesliga, and the domestic champions are undefeated at the top of the table.
According to BBC Sport, Klopp said the Premier League leaders understand what's at stake:
"Everybody knows it's a final and we're prepared for that - Salzburg has to win against us.
"We are not a typical Champions League winner, we're still ambitious like crazy, we will go for everything and run for our lives.
"It's not that I expect us to go through, I expect us to play the best game we can play."
Barca have arrived in Milan without Lionel Messi in their squad, and the Spanish champions will likely rotate their team after winning the group to reach the knockouts for a 13th consecutive season.
This is good news for Inter, who are tied on points with BVB, and the Italians need a win to book their spot in the next phase.
Defeat for Antonio Conte's men would open the door for Dortmund, who would need just a point to grab second place in the group.
The top three in Group H are separated by just two points heading into the final match, with Chelsea, Ajax and Valencia fighting for position.
Frank Lampard's young team would have qualified with a win against Valencia in their last match, but a 2-2 draw has forced a dramatic conclusion.
However, Lille have had an awful campaign, and they stand in the Blues' way in the next round.
Ajax need just a point to progress against Valencia, but the Spaniards know only a victory in the Netherlands will provide them the certainty of staying in the competition.
