Villarreal-FC Barcelona: The possible line-ups for matchday 3 of LaLiga

The FC Barcelona takes action in LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023-2024 this Sunday, with the visit to the Villarreal CF, from the 17:30 hours (5:30 PM, CEST). The Barcelona will look for to add his second victory followed for recortar distances with the leadership, at present occupied by the Real Madrid. They will travel to Castellón with important drops, but with the aim to give continuity to the good feelings and return home with three vital points.

For the party, Xavi Hernández will not be available in the bench because it will fulfil his second party of sanction after seeing the yellow cardboard in Getafe. Neither it will be Raphinha, in the same conditions. By injury, have remained was Iñigo Martinez (neither is inscribed), Ronald Araújo and Pedri González. It follows without going in in the list Iñaki Crag, the one who is expecting to be registered. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:

Likely alignments of the Villarreal-FC Barcelona

• XI of the Villarreal: Jörgensen; Foyth, Gabbia, Cuenca, Pedraza; Parejo, Capoue, Terrats; Gerard Moreno, Baena and Sorloth.
• XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Christensen, Alonso, Balde; Romeu, Of Jong, Gündogan, Gavi; Yamal and Lewandowski.

Ter Stegen

The guardameta of Mönchengladbach will look for to add his third goal to zero. It will be his first party after signing the renewal of the agreement that will keep him in the City Condal until the summer of 2028 and comes of positive performances in front of Getafe and Cádiz, on the same line of the past year, and now adds a lot of more responsibility for carrying the strip of captain in his arm.

Koundé-Christensen-Alonso-Balde

In the defence, as in the party in front of the Cádiz, there are a lot of doubts by the absence of the lesionado Ronald Araújo. The past week, Xavi opted for delaying to Frenkie of Jong so that it played in the axis with Andreas Christensen, but now seems a very complicated option by the drop of Pedri in the medullary. Like this then , taking advantage of the recent registration of Marcos Alonso, could joint him with the Danish in the axis and displace to Jules Koundé to the right side, again, with Alejandro Balde by the left.

Gündogan-Romeu-Of Jong-Gavi

In the centre of the field will keep the bet for playing with four players, but with change of names in front of the important drops that has the Barcelona staff. Everything seems to indicate to that Frenkie of Jong will return to the medullary for 'associate' with Oriol Romeu, whereas they will appear more advanced Ílkay Gündogan and Gavi, to replace to the lesionado Pedri González. That the means can be comfortable and participatory will be key to go back home with three vital points.

Lamine Yamal-Lewandowski

In front of the absence of Raphinha, keeps the doubt on who will be the companion of Robert Lewandowski in the attack. Against the Cádiz, went Lamine Yamal the one who assumed the challenge and left very good feelings, place was the attendant to inject desborde, speed and danger to the Barcelona attack in front of the 'turned off' that was the Pole. Ferran Torres is another alternative, very possible by his good performance.
