Garcia, Pedri And Rashford To Start | 4-3-3 Barcelona Predicted Lineup Vs Alaves | OneFootball

Barcelona will entertain Alaves at the Nou Camp this Saturday as they look to secure a win at home in La Liga. The Catalan club suffered a poor 3-0 loss away at Chelsea recently, so they would be desperate to return to winning ways this weekend.

Hansi Flick will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this game. Eric Garcia, Pedri and Marcus Rashford could all play from the start of this contest.

4-3-3 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Alaves

Defence

Joan Garcia will feature in between the sticks for Barcelona after he shipped in three goals in his last outing. Eric Garcia will operate alongside Pau Cubarsi at the heart of Flick’s defence as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Jules Kounde will fill in as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Andreas Christensen will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.

Midfield

Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will make up Barcelona’s midfield as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

Marc Casado and Marc Bernal will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Ferran Torres will try to prove his worth on the left flank, while Lamine Yamal looks to make a difference as the right-winger. Both of them would try to get in behind the opponent’s backline at every chance they get and engineer some decent chances up top.

Marcus Rashford will lead the line for the Catalan giants up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net this weekend after being rested in midweek.

Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if Barcelona are in need of a goal by then.
