Barcelona’s predicted XI to face Valencia | OneFootball

An insight into the XI of players expected to be fielded by Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick in the club’s upcoming meeting with Valencia has been provided.

Barcelona are of course set to return to action on Thursday night.

Fresh off a hard-fought weekend victory over Deportivo Alavés in La Liga, the Blaugrana will turn attentions back towards matters in the cup.

This comes ahead of a Copa del Rey quarter-final showdown with the aforementioned Valencia.

Barca, of course, faced off with Valencia in a league fixture less than two weeks ago, running riot to the tune of an eventual 7-1 triumph.

In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of boss Flick preparing to field a near-identical line-up of players against Los Che on Thursday.

As per a report from Javier Miguel of Diario AS, only one real doubt remains in the Catalans’ XI, between Frenkie de Jong and Pedri in the middle of the park.

This means a predicted setup as follows:

Szczęsny, Koundé, Eric García, Cubarsí, Balde, Casadó, De Jong/Pedri, Fermín López, Lamine, Raphinha, Ferran Torres
