Barcelona - WWWWWW
Alejandro Balde (Tendon rupture) and Gavi (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Andreas Christensen and Sergi Roberto.
It seems likely that Barça could make use of the 4-3-3 system in the match featuring M. ter Stegen, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, Joao Cancelo, Frenkie de Jong, Ilkay Gundogan, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.
Barcelona are hoping to win again following a 0-1 La Liga victory over Cádiz.
In that game, Barcelona managed 62% possession and 12 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Barcelona was João Félix (37'). Cadiz got 14 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that things are going according to plan in the Barcelona rearguard. Barcelona have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past 6 matches standing at 3. Nonetheless, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend might be replicated in this match or not.
Paris Saint-Germain - WWWWDL
PSG manager Luis Enrique has a number of players out of action. Sergio Rico (Fitness) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be making appearances.
We’re of the thinking that Les Rouge-et-Bleu seem likely to make use of a 4-3-3 system, giving starts to Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Hernandez, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola.
In their last half-dozen clashes, Paris Saint-Germain have amassed a tally of 15 goals. Paris Saint-Germain have also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, they’ve seen 7 goals scored by their opponents.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo; Pedri, Gundogan, F de Jong; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Vitinha; Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe
