Win to the Athletic of Madrid results vital for the culés.

In front of the drops with which explains the team, does not foresee a lot of surprises in the XI of Xavi Hernández. The big doubt will be if Joao Félix will be headline or no in his return to which, until does some months, was his house. The Portuguese has left to be indisputable headline and, for now, part by behind Lamine Yamal and Raphinha in the plans of the trainer. To continuation, our forecast of the XI:

Likely alignments of the Athletic of Madrid-FC Barcelona of LaLiga

  • XI of the Athletic of Madrid: Oblak; Marcos Llorente, Paulista, Savic, Witsel, Lino; Koke, Neighbourhoods, Of Paul, Morata and Griezmann.
  • XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Araújo, Cubarsí, Héctor Fort; Christensen, Fermín, Gündogan; Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski.

Ter Stegen

The guardameta of Mönchengladbach wants to keep on being key in this Barça. In LaLiga, accumulates three parties without fitting goals. His return to the goal has been vital so that it detained the bloodletting goleadora that were registering the Barcelona and will try to validate it in the Cívitas Metropolitan. Players like Griezmann, Morata or Samu Lino can be his big dangers.

Koundé-Araújo-Cubarsí-Fort

In the background line, only there would be a change regarding the eleven staged by Xavi Hernández in the past duel of Champions League in front of the Naples. This modification would be the addition of the canterano Héctor Fort by the left side, given the unexpected drop of last moment of Joãor Cancel. It is necessary to remember that, when the Portuguese could not be in 'play', the Catalan fungió like a good 'patch'. Further of this variant, the defence would have to follow being conformed by Jules Koundé like right side, with Ronald Araújo and Pau Cubarsí like the couple of head offices that will be attendant, between other things, to control to Álvaro Morata.

Gündogan-Christensen-Fermín

In the centre of the field of the FC Barcelona all seems to indicate to that Fermín López will repeat titularity. It comes of a very positive performance against the Naples, that could cost him to accompany to Andreas Christensen, fixed in the base of the played, and İlkay Gündoğan in the medullary culé. From the bench, Oriol Romeu and Sergi Roberto split like the main alternative.

Lamine-Lewandowski-Raphinha

The big doubt of the XI of the Barça is in the forward: it will be Joao Félix in the initial alignment? His party in the first turn against the Athletic was very positive, but since has lost the condition of indisputable in the plans of Xavi Hernández. The logical would be that Raphinha situate by the left to accompany to Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, the two indisputable players in the leading blaugrana.
