Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Barcelona
  • Rayo should go for a familiar starting eleven on returning from the international break. 4-2-3-1 allows them to play their fluid, attacking football.
  • Abdul Mumin should keep his place at the back with ex Newcastle man, Florian Lejeune. Francisco seems to prefer his selection over Aridane.
  • Frenkie De Jong is back in training and could well start for Barcelona against Rayo in Madrid on Saturday.
  • Marc Andre Ter Stegen is out with a back injury; Inaki Pena should fill in between the sticks for now...
  • Gavi picked up an injury on international duty for Spain and could be out for the whole season. He will undoubtedly leave a significant hole in the Barcelona midfield.

Prediction

  • Barcelona travel to Madrid to face Rayo Vallecano on Saturday afternoon, without Gavi and Ter Stegen within their ranks. Rayo could have an opportunity to frustrate the Blau Grana faithful here...
  • Frenkie De Jong is back for selection under Xavi and could be the catalyst of a midfield selection headache for his boss. Romeu or Gundogan could miss out, and depending on which of them starts could affect how the visitors play on Saturday.
  • Both sides have six clean sheets this season, the highest amount kept by any side in La Liga so far. A low scoring affair could be on the cards...
