David and Goliath will confront this Sunday to the midday (12 hours) in the Ciutat of València, in a duel of opposite poles and never better said, taking into account that the FC Barcelona leads at present the classification of League BBVA 2015-16, whereas the Raise is the last classified although it has improved regarding competitiveness during the last meetings of the competition liguera. It is not casualidad that, since it arrived Rubi to the bench to try solve little by little the incredible problems of the group levantino and tie up points in the different stadiums of the League, the levantinos have achieved two consecutive victories like venues for the first time this season, without explaining an adjusted 4-3 in Balaídos against the Celtic of Vigo that almost finish in unpleasant surprise for the ones of Berizzo.

The Raise of Rubi is now more competitive that before and therefore, although it was still the last qualifier of the competition with 17 points -to four points to go out of the positions of descent-, the FC Barcelona knows by experience that does not have to fiarse against any rival of the League BBVA. Already they had a bad time the culés in The Rosaleda does a pair of weeks and ready were to carry a good fright, making the worst first part of the season and happening the greater part of the minutes to favour of the rival game. It does not foresee that the Barça go back to have a bad day in contrary field this Sunday, but just in case Luis Enrique will have his best men.

Claudio Bravo, Ivan Rakitic, Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano and Rakitic did not play neither a minute in the gone of semifinals of Glass of the King 2015-16 against the Valency in the Camp Nou, by what arrive cool to form part of the eleven headline of the FC Barcelona against the Raise. Andrés Iniesta and Jordi Alba, that neither finish the party the Wednesday, also will assume the titularity and the safest is that "I Struggle" go back to bet for playing up with the trident, in a state of spectacular form as they showed with the seven goals lumbered with to the group ché, paisano of the Raise. The Barça will not go out to see them come and will try to sentence the party the before possible, by what the ones of Rubi will have to have very clear from the beginning which strategy play to the ones of Luis Enrique.

The rivals of the Barça have gone out lately to presionar up and have finish losing, although they have put in aprietos in more than an occasion to the Barcelona. It is possible, however, that the Raise go out to plant the bus near of his area, an also risked formula against a team like the Barcelona, to the that no gives him at all badly visit the Ciutat of València during the last seasons. There it sang the alirones of the Leagues won in 2005 and 2011, and Messi, main star of the Barça, has annotated 15 goals in 13 parties to the Raise, varied of them in Valencian earths. The Raise will have the help of the new signings of winter, Lucas Orbán and Giuseppe Rossi, that aim to headlines against the FC Barcelona and will give a jump of quality to the local group.

The team granota will entrust to the luck and to the defensive discipline to try hold some point against the FC Barcelona, whereas the ones of Luis Enrique will base in the offensive power of the trident. The referee Pérez Montero will be the attendant to give order on the terrain of game, and expects that they do not go back to see violent entrances like the ones of the last parties against some players of the FC Barcelona, as the one of Filipe Luis to Leo Messi in the last day of League BBVA. The Barça knows that only it costs him the victory to follow defending the leadership.
