🔵🔴 Barcelona | La Liga form: W🟢 W🟢 D🟡 W🟢 W🟢 W🟢:

 

Barcelona come into the match after a 3-1 comeback victory over Real Oviedo. The room for error is small due to Real Madrid's excellent form, making a win crucial. The team may manage fitness with a Champions League fixture against PSG looming.

Barcelona could welcome Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde back into the squad, likely to be involved off the bench. Raphinha is being assessed for a minor issue and may be rested. Fermin Lopez, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain unavailable.

 

⚪🔵 Real Sociedad | La Liga form: D🟡 D🟡 L🔴 L🔴 L🔴 W🟢:

 

Real Sociedad ended a difficult run with a much-needed 1-0 win over Mallorca. They will be looking to build momentum, but face a tough challenge away from home.

Yangel Herrera and Orri Oskarsson will miss the contest due to injury, while Aritz Elustondo is a doubt. Head coach Sergio Francisco could name an unchanged lineup from the side that beat Mallorca.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔵🔴 Barcelona (possible):

J Garcia; Kounde, E Garcia, Araujo, Martin; De Jong, Casado; F Torres, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski.

Barcelona comes into the match in high spirits after three wins in seven days across all competitions, scoring 11 goals in the process.

🔵Real Oviedo (possible):

Escandell; Bailly, Carmo, Calvo; Ahijado, Dendoncker, Reina, Alhassane; Colombatto; Chaira, Rondon.

 

🔴🟣Barcelona (possible):

J. Garcia; Kounde, E. Garcia, Cubarsi, Martin; Pedri, De Jong, Casado; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Torres.

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Ferran Torres — scored a brace against Getafe and is Barcelona's current top scorer this season.

✨ Dani Olmo — got on the scoresheet last weekend and adds creativity to Barcelona's midfield.

✨ Salomon Rondon — the experienced striker, will be key if Oviedo is to create chances against a strong Barcelona defence.

✨ Santi Cazorla — the 40-year-old midfielder brings vast experience and could feature for the home side.
