Barcelona search for a 3rd consecutive La Liga win after they journey to the Asturias area for a gathering with newly-promoted Actual Oviedo on the Carlos Tartiere Stadium.
The Blaugrana have been glorious because the worldwide break and now look to construct momentum within the league to proceed chasing leaders Actual Madrid, and will probably be massive favorites in opposition to an Oviedo aspect which has scored simply as soon as this season and has misplaced 4 or their first 5 video games to this point.

Right here’s how we predict Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Thursday’s battle.
Protection
Barça have two massive video games at residence after this one in opposition to Actual Sociedad and PSG, and Flick will doubtless go along with his strongest attainable crew in these matches, so we predict slightly extra rotation than regular for this one.
Joan Garcia will retain his place in aim, as will Jules Kounde and Gerard Martín on the full-back spots, however we predict a few adjustments at center-back with Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araujo coming in for Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen. Flick has usually rotated each of his central defenders between video games this season, and we predict that’ll be the case once more on this one.

Midfield
We additionally anticipate a pair extra adjustments in midfield, though one is compelled due to Fermín López’s unlucky harm on the weekend which is able to preserve him out for round three weeks. Dani Olmo will naturally inherit the quantity 10 spot, seeking to make the most of the chance to construct momentum because the starter.
The double pivot of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong continues to dominate video games, and so they’ll be massively essential in opposition to Sociedad and PSG so we predict each to have their minutes managed on this one. We expect Marc Casadó will begin for Frenkie, with De Jong then changing Pedri within the second half if the sport scenario permits it.

Assault
We predict yet one more change up entrance for this one: Robert Lewandowski began the final two video games in a row and performed all 90 minutes on the weekend, so we predict the Pole will get a relaxation on this one and the in-form Ferran Torres will begin up high, opening the door for Marcus Rashford to return to the lineup. Lamine Yamal is again in coaching however nonetheless not able to return, so Raphinha will preserve his place on the suitable wing.
Attainable XI: Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Martín; Casadó, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Rashford; Ferran (4-2-3-1)
