Raise-Barça: 'Vendetta' to keep the leadership of LaLiga

Inmejorable Gone in the one who will present this Sunday the Ciutat of València to receive the duel against the current leader of LaLiga Santander 2018-19, the FC Barcelona, that will attend to the stadium with his best available players and besides with freshness in the legs, after the rotations that has taken advantage of Ernesto Valverde to make so much in Champions League as in Glass of the King 2018-19.

The FC Barcelona comes to attain a valuable tie in front of a Tottenham that was very inferior in the Camp Nou, and happened already the unimportant party of the week, to the Barça touches him go back to concentrate for, this time yes, achieve the three points and keep like this the leadership of LaLiga Santander 2018-19, that threaten other teams like Athletic of Madrid and Seville.

The Barcelona will go with everything to treat to take out the triumph, with the absences of Sergi Roberto and Malcom, those who already are recovered of his injuries but have not gone in in the announcement. Samuel Umtiti joins to the drops of long length of Samper and Rafinha, whereas Juan Miranda goes back to be summoned by the 'Txingurri', and seems that it is winning a place in the first team.

Ernesto Valverde will not reserve to anybody, and will present an alignment of gala that, paradoxically, could leave to Philippe Coutinho in the bench so that Dembélé, the man more in shape of the FC Barcelona in these moments, form in the front of attack beside Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, with Arturo Vidal in the centre of the field to the detriment of Arthur that it still has to take the competitive rhythm of does some weeks.

The last precedent against the Raise is not at all halagüeño, since the 'granota' were the only able team to break the brilliant series of consecutive parties without losing of the FC Barcelona, when winning the past season to the culés by 5-4, in a so unimportant party -the Barça already had won LaLiga mathematically- as crazy, and in which Coutinho attained his first and only 'hat-trick' with the T-shirt of the FC Barcelona. In that crash, Boateng annotated three goals and was seconded by a 'doublet' of Bardhi.

This Sunday, both could play in the front of attack of the Raise, although the most likely is that Paco López opt for ranging to his 'fuselage insignia', José Luis Moral, beside Roger that it is destapando this season to level goleador in First Division, when finding in the 'Top-10' in the career by a 'Pichichi' that lead Leo Messi and Luis Suárez.

The Raise, with arguments to hurt to the Barça

The Raise arrive to the party in the best state of form of the season 2018-19. Before beginning the day 16, found sixth in the classification to only 9 points of the Barcelona, passed the first 15 days. The will of the ones of Paco López is to add some point that help them to keep the European square, a dream that many will think that it is impossible this campaign for the 'granota', but that for the moment already are able to touch with the fingers, waiting for knowing if they will be able to do it reality to final of course.

Sadiku, Samu García, Doukoure or Pedro López will be some of the most stood out drops for the Raise, that however will be able to form equally an eleven of full guarantees to try hurt to the ones of Ernesto Valverde. Between Borja Mayoral and Boateng have marked only a goal this season, but Roger Martí already accumulates 8 targets and José Luis Moral, 5 more. The FC Barcelona will have to walk with eye with them, in a party that, remember, will serve of precuela for the eliminatory of eighth of final of the Glass of the King 2018-19, that will play in January.

Important score, in definite, with three key points for both teams and the will to offer a big show in the Ciutat of València. We expect that González González, the referee commissioned to arbitrate the meeting, no enturbie the 'show' and was more leading of the had to. The FC Barcelona already expects the hour of the party to put the monkey of work and fraguar the 'vendetta' against a Raise very, very dangerous.
