Barcelona will entertain Olympiacos at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Tuesday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalan club managed to secure a hard-fought 2-1 win over Girona recently, which should give them some confidence ahead of this game.
Hansi Flick will set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation once again and could make some changes to his first XI for this clash. Fermin Lopez, Ronald Araujo and Gerard Martin would all play from the start of this game.
Wojciech Szczesny will feature in between the sticks for the Catalan club after he shipped in one goal in his last outing. Pau Cubarsi will function alongside Ronald Araujo at the heart of the Barcelona backline as they hope to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Jules Kounde will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Gerard Martin hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.
Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado will anchor the midfield for the Catalan club as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Marcus Rashford, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal will operate just ahead of them as part of the Barcelona attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Catalan club are to come on top this weekend.
Pedri and Roony Bardghji will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Ferran Torres will lead the charge for Barcelona in the final third. He has to find a way to be a constant menace up top.
Dro Fernandez will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages of the game if required.
