Barcelona predicted starting XI against Sevilla | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to welcome Sevilla to the Spotify Camp Nou for their upcoming La Liga clash. The Catalan giants, currently just one point ahead of Real Madrid, will need to win this game in order to restore their four-point lead at the top of the La Liga table.

However, with a crucial clash against Newcastle United coming up after this, Hansi Flick could look to rotate the team for this encounter. For that reason, a few changes across the starting eleven are likely.

Here is how Barça could line up for this clash.

Predicted Barcelona Line-up vs Sevilla:

Goalkeeper: Joan Garcia

The Spanish goalkeeper continues to be a wall at the back for Barça, and he will be keen on helping his team in this game. With him at the back, his teammates can always play with more confidence.

Right-back: Xavi Espart

With both starting full-backs currently injured, Hansi Flick has called up several academy starlets to train with the first team recently, and one standout, Xavi Espart, made his first-team debut against Newcastle last week. Espart is now expected to start against Sevilla.

Centre-back: Ronald Araujo

Although the Uruguayan defender has not started much this season, he continues to be used as a backup option when needed. He must avoid unnecessary mistakes that could prove costly. As Flick considers rotation in defence, starting Araujo seems the obvious choice.

Centre-back: Pau Cubarsi

The youngster remains a key component of this Barcelona team, and his presence at the back is crucial for how they play. His composure on the ball and his ability to assess various situations is important as well.

Left-back: Gerard Martin

Joao Cancelo has been performing well recently, but if Hansi Flick wants to rotate ahead of the Champions League clash, he might deploy Gerard Martin at left-back. The Spaniard has proven that he can be relied upon in his natural position.

CDM: Marc Casado

With Barcelona likely to rotate, Marc Casado might start to give Pedri some rest. He has repeatedly shown that he can be decisive in these clashes.

CDM: Marc Bernal

The youngster has been proving his worth this season and continues to excel in midfield. Despite leaving the pitch with cramps against Newcastle, it seems nothing serious, and he is likely to feature in the starting eleven.

RAM: Roony Bardghji

The young Swedish winger has impressed whenever he has played. Although opportunities have been limited, he has been solid when called upon. This could be the time to start him, providing Lamine with much-needed rest before the Newcastle clash.

CAM: Dani Olmo

Smart in tight spaces and possessing great technical ability, Dani Olmo needs the right kind of opportunities to assert himself in the team again. This particular game might be a good occasion to do that.

LAM: Ferran Torres

Lacklustre in recent games as a centre forward, Ferran Torres needs to start performing again if he wants to be decisive in this final stretch of the season. Amid rotation, the Sevilla clash could give him a chance to start on the left wing and rest Raphinha.

Centre-forward: Robert Lewandowski

The Polish ace has struggled to find the back of the net recently. If he ends up starting this game, it might be a good opportunity for him to get his confidence back.
