First 'derbi' of the season for the FC Barcelona, in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys. The group trained by Xavi Hernández receives to a Girona that has turned into the team disclosure of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024 and that has comported like one of the 'big' of Spain. The difference of points is of four, in favour of the gerundenses, by what a Barcelona victory would be key to try win terrain in the career by the leadership of the domestic championship.
Knowingly of the challenge that there is by in front, the Barça will go out, except twist of unexpected script, with the alignment that already has presented in the last parties. Xavi has found the formula so that his team was much more solvent, little predictable and have an identity from the possession, with sense, of the balloon. In this sense, does not expect any change regarding the XI that presented in front of the Athletic of Madrid, does a week. To continuation, our forecasts:
Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Girona FC of LaLiga
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Iñaki Crag; Araujo, Koundé, Christensen, Cancel; Gündogan, Of Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Joao Félix.
- XI of the Girona: Gazzaniga; Couto, Eric, David López, Blind, Miguel; Tsygankov, Aleix Garcia, Iván Martín; Dovbyk and Savinho.
Iñaki Crag
The guardameta Alicante will be indisputable in the XI of Xavi until, at least, finals of February or principles of March, when Marc-André ter Stegen recover after going through the operating theatre to treat his problems in the back. Iñaki Crag has been a safe of life for the Catalans, especially in front of the Port wine and the Athletic of Madrid, and will add his fourth consecutive titularity. Surely, will have a lot of work with players like Savinho.
Araújo-Koundé-Christensen-Cancel
In the defence there will be changes and Andreas Christensen, taking advantage of of the injury of Iñigo Martínez, will go back to add a new titularity. Xavi would repeat his defensive saga, with the only doubt of the role of Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé. To cover to Savinho, everything seems to indicate to that will bet by the charrúa, the one who is one of the best players in the one against one. Like this then , the Danish and French would form the couple of central whereas Joao Cancel, by third consecutive party, would appear by the left side.
Gündogan-Of Jong-Pedri
In the medullary there will be changes, except surprise. The blaugrana will entrust to the trio that better results has given to the team, by the solvency and sense that print to the game. Xavi is conscious that the good performance of the team 'raisin' because Of Jong, Gündogan and Pedri can create and 'soltarse' on the lawn to direct to the team. From the bench, will have the alternatives of Oriol Romeu, relegado to the bank from does a few parties, and Fermín López.
Raphinha-Lewandowski-Joao Félix
Regarding the forward, there are a lot of expectations by what can offer the attackers. Joao Félix arrives 'enchufado' with two consecutive parties seeing goal, whereas Raphinha participates a lot in the attack, generates and desborda, but has not been fine of face to goal. Robert Lewandowski, by his part, is indisputable in the XI, but has to take a step forward. In the last clashes has happened, almost, careless. It does not see goal from before the stop of selections, with a doublet in front of the Alavés.
