Cubarsi To Start, Christensen On The Bench | 4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup Vs Celta Vigo | OneFootball

Barcelona will clash heads with Celta Vigo at the Estadio de Balaídos on Sunday night as they look to secure a win on their travels in La Liga. The Catalan giants were held to a 3-3 draw away at Club Brugge recently, so they would be eager to secure a good result this weekend.

Hansi Flick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one change to his starting XI for this game. Pau Cubarsi could get a chance to impress from the start of this contest.

4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Celta Vigo

Defence

Wojciech Szczęsny will function in between the sticks for the Catalan club after he conceded three goals in his last appearance. Pau Cubarsi will play alongside Ronald Araujo at the centre of the Barcelona backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.

Jules Kounde will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde looks 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 in the Celta Vigo half.

Andreas Christensen will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado will operate as the holding midfielders as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

The talented trio of Marcus Rashford, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal will get the nod to play just ahead of them as part of Flick’s attack. All three of them need to link up play well if they are to create enough chances for Barca to secure a convincing win this weekend.

Marc Bernal and Dani Olmo 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 required.

Attack

Ferran Torres will spearhead Barcelona’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a threat on the offensive end of the field.

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