Wednesday FC Barcelona takes on its own Camp Nou against Sporting Gijon low kite. Of course, the Catalans are towering favorite.
Barcelona
FC Barcelona is back in the Spanish title race, as the virtual difference with leader Real Madrid is only four points. Last weekend, the star formation produced a fine performance by nota bene to win at the Vicente Calderon 1-2 against Atletico Madrid. Just like a week earlier against Leganes (2-1) Lionel Messi was again the savior. The little Argentinian is worth its weight in gold.
With a view to Celta Vigo and Paris Saint Germain at home is a chance that coach Luis Enrique what will rotate. Messi, Suarez and Neymar will undoubtedly be on the kickoff, but especially a player like Iniesta could do with a day off. The now back fit Mascherano is likely to remain a game on the side. A hefty loss, as the Blaugrana could well use some defensive solidity. With only twenty matches against FC Barcelona has the in-a-second-least passed rearguard of the Spanish Primera Division, but the last few weeks very little of note. In only two of the last nine matches, the Catalans managed to keep a clean sheet.
Probable lineup Barcelona
Ter Stegen; Digne, Umtiti, Pique, Sergi Roberto; André Gomes, Busquets, Rakitic; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
Gijon
Sporting Gijon know since the arrival of coach Rubi again is to bite off and must now hope again for self-preservation. The good news is that both in the locker room and on the stand belief is back. The bad news is that the results are still about as bad as under predecessor Abelardo. Last weekend came the red whites no further than a 1-1 draw against a B team of Celta de Vigo at home, that her clappers decided to spare after a long journey back and forth to Ukraine in the Europa League. Sporting Gijon had the upper hand, but forgot to reward themselves. “Up front we were not efficient enough,” said coach Rubi.
Also, Sporting Gijon will probably rotate. Rubi will undoubtedly realize that he is almost certainly no chance at the Camp Nou, while coming weekeindede relegation cracker against Deportivo La Coruna on the program. Amorebieta, Isma Lopez, Moi Gomez, Lillo, Cuellar, T Cop stand in terms of yellow cards all on edge and thus are prime candidates for a spare turn.
Probable lineup Sporting Gijon
Cuellar; Isma Lopez, Babin, Lillo, Lora; Xavi Torres, Vesga, T; Victor, Carlos Castro, Douglas
