Previous: Granada vs FC Barcelona - Ties 2013/14 Day 33

The FC Barcelona looks for this Saturday in Granada (20:00 hours, Channel 1) a remedy against the deep depression in that it has left to the club the elimination of the Champions. With the final of the Glass of the King to four days seen, the Barcelona group needs a victory that centre it in the championship and that give him back the confidence, although in Granada the team will go back to go touched in the zone where more is suffering, the the axis of the defence.

To the drops of Gerard Hammered and Carles Puyol has added the one of Marc Bartra, that by caution has remained in Barcelona, after going out touched of the party against the Athletic, when suffering one overloads in the isquiotibiales of the right leg. Without the contest of the canterano, Gerardo Martino will have to bet by Alex Song, Adriano or Busquets like head offices beside Javier Mascherano. In fact, to the Cameroonian player him fichó by his polivalencia , that according to Zubizarreta allowed him play so much of midfield player as of central defence.

It is possible that the "Tata" reserve some player, as it is the case of Xavi, Alves and Jordi Alba, due to the fact that it will need them to the maximum in the final of Glass against the Real Madrid in Valency next Wednesday. In attack also can be that there is some modification with regard to the last parties, and that the Argentinian bet by Alexis Sánchez and Pedro, two fundamental pieces if the Barça bets for widening the field with two pure extremes. In spite of the good provision that have offered, the contest of both at the same time begins to be increasingly unusual.

The Barcelona, seconds in the classification to a point of the Athletic of Madrid, can not yield at all to fault of six days to conclude the League, and with the last party in the Camp Nou in front of the current leader. The ones of Martino have a big path -in the domestic championship- after winning his five last meetings (Betis 3-1; Espanyol 0-1; Celtic 3-0; Real Madrid 3-4 and Celtic 7-0). Both teams have confronted a total of 19 times with the Granada like venue, achieving the Barça 11 victories, 4 ties and 4 defeats; in addition to 28 goals in favour and 20 against.

The Granada faces the party after having lost of consecutive form in front of the same Athletic of Madrid (1-0), the Raise (0-2) and the Málaga (4-1), what has caused that it was only three points above the zone of descent. The team directed by Lucas Alcaraz will look for in front of the Barça a revulsivo that allow him approach to the permanence before contesting the next day another party complicated, in the field of the Seville. The Andalusian technician prepares the crash with the absences of the forward Riki, that will be three weeks of drop by a break fibrilar, and of the left-handed side Bryan Angulo, sanctioned by accumulation of cautions. Piti Will occupy the place of Riki in the eleven initial, whereas Dimitri Foulquier will act like left side, although it is right-handed.

Besides, the midfield player Recio, that could not play in front of the Málaga by sanction, will go back to the alignment title whereas the rest of the eleven will be the usual with the only doubt of Roberto Fernández. In the training of the Friday, the Galician goalkeeper resintió of the muscular problems that drags from the party in front of the Málaga and although it has gone in in the announcement, is not confirmed his presence in the crash and could be substituted by the Greek Orestis Karnezis.

Although the visit of the Barcelona has been designated like Day of the Club, with all the credited going through taquilla, expects a good entrance in the New The Cármenes to support to a Granada, that believes and needs the surprise.
