🗞️ Team News: Real Valladolid

Anuar (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Luis Pérez (Adductors avulsion) and Selim Amallah (Shoulder fracture) will not be able to play for Real Valladolid boss Paulo Pezzolano.

It seems likely that Pucela will probably use a 5-3-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Jordi Masip, Joaquin Fernandez, Javi Sanchez, Jawad El Yamiq, Ivan Fresneda, Lucas Olaza, Alvaro Aguado, Monchu, Kike Perez, Cyle Larin and Gonzalo Plata.

🗞️ Team News: Barcelona

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández has not got a full squad to pick from. Ronald Araújo (Calf Injury) and Pedri (Thigh Problems) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that Barça appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out M. ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia, Marcos Alonso, Alex Balde, Franck Kessie, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Real Valladolid are likely to breach the defence of this Barcelona outfit, however a single goal may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re therefore tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Barcelona at the end of the match.
