Team News

Barcelona
Almeria
  • Frenkie De Jong will sit this one out due to suspension.
  • Lamine Yamal could get the nod to start against bottom side Almeria, after Raphinha played 90 minutes this weekend.
  • Inigo Martinez remains injured, and so Andreas Christensen could start this match at the heart of defence for the hosts.
  • Lucas Robertone is suspended and will no doubt leave a big hole in Almeria's already struggling midfield.
  • Idrissu Baba could come in to take the Captain's place in midfield.

Prediction

  • Almeria have only ever beaten Barcelona once back in February of this year, but are unlikely to pick up their first win of the season against Xavi's side on Wednesday, sitting rock bottom on five points.
  • The hosts, however, are winless in two, and need to close a seven-point gap on second-placed Real Madrid.
  • Almeria are ranked bottom in the league for goals conceded per match (2.3), while Barca are ranked fifth in the league for goals scored per match (1.8). Expect a a drubbing at the hands of Barcelona here.
