📰 Team News: Real Valladolid

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Real Valladolid gaffer Álvaro Rubio to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Karl Hein (Shoulder injury) won’t play.

We are thinking that Pucela will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Andre Ferreira, Antonio Candela, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar, Adam Aznou, Stanko Juric, Selim Amallah, Anuar, Ivan Sanchez, Raul Moro and Mamadou Sylla.

🗞️ Team News: Barcelona

In an otherwise full-strength squad, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Barcelona boss Hansi Flick to contend with. José Gragera (Toe injury) won’t be playing here.

We believe Barça could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing M. ter Stegen, Hector Fort, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Gerard Martin, Pedri, Gavi, Dani Rodriguez, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati and Pau Victor.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Barcelona will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the other end, Real Valladolid will be up against it scoring- but, we do see them getting enough chances to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a 1-3 victory for Barcelona when all’s said and done.
