Xavi Hernández, that will not be in the bench for fulfilling cycle of cards, will have to arm his best XI without the presence of Pedri González, Frenkie of Jong or Ronald Araújo. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:
Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-RCD Mallorca of LaLiga 2023/2024
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Cancel; Christensen, Gündogan, Fermín; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Lamine.
- XI of the RCD Mallorca: Rajkovic; González, Valjent, Raíllo, Crest, Coast; Samú Coast, Sánchez, Rodríguez; Muriqi and Larin.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta of Mönchengladbach is recovering his best form and has the intention to be key in this decisive stretch of the season, after happening three months in the infirmary. It accumulates two goals to consecutive zero and is serving like the silent leader of the Barça. In front of the bermellones, will have to be very attentive to the played to unemployed balloon and, especially, to the danger of Muriqi when has opportunity to row of head.
Koundé-Cubarsí-Iñigo-Cancel
In the defensive saga there will be a compulsory change by the absence of Ronald Araújo that in Saint Mamés saw the fifth yellow and corresponds him fulfil cycle of cards. Iñigo Martínez aims to go back to the titularity to accompany to Pau Cubarsí in the axis of the defence, with Jules Koundé in the right band and Joao Cancel like left side, again.
Gündogan-Christensen-Fermín López
The absences of Pedri and Of Jong, by injury, change the plans of Xavi in the centre of the field. They are many the possibilities that they go back, in paper, to a 4-3-3 with Andreas Christensen fixed like pivote, with Fermín López and Gündogan of interiors. One of the extremes that appear can delay his position for 'complete' the square in the medullary.
Lamine-Lewandowski-Raphinha
In the forward there will be new 'trident' with the presence of Raphinha. It was little 'fine' in front of the Getafe, but can be an important player to find spaces in a so enclosed defence as it is it the one of the Mallorca. In case to be like this, would be splitting from a more retarded position and leave more advanced to Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.
