Barcelona predicted line-up vs Levante — Gavi and Pedri to anchor midfield, Torres to lead attack | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are now set to take on Levante in La Liga. Following their victory over RCD Mallorca, Hansi Flick’s team will be looking to grab another three points. A dominant win in this game could see Barça return to the top of the table as well.

However, every single game in the league will be crucial this season, so Flick’s team needs to make sure that they have the quality and desire to win. For that reason, the German coach is likely to field a strong starting eleven in this game.

Here is how Barça could line up for this league fixture against Levante.

Predicted Barcelona Line-up:

Goalkeeper: Joan Garcia

The Spanish goalkeeper maintained a clean sheet in his official debut for the club, and he will be looking to repeat a similar performance against Levante.

After having started the first game of the season against RCD Mallorca, this might be a good opportunity to give Eric Garcia his second start of the official season. However, a lot will also depend on Jules Kounde and whether or not he ends up starting.

Centre-back: Ronald Araujo

With Inigo Martinez no longer at the club, Ronald Araujo has stepped up in his place, and the Uruguayan defender has done well so far to partner Pau Cubarsi in defense.

Centre-back: Pau Cubarsi

Following a strong performance in the previous game, Pau Cubarsi is likely to start this game as well.

Left-back: Alejandro Balde

The young left-back offers a lot of width and pace on the left flank, and that enables players like Raphinha to be more of a danger centrally. For that reason, having Balde start is crucial for Flick’s team.

Considering Frenkie de Jong’s inconsistent availability in training recently, the Dutchman might potentially start this game on the bench. Fortunately for Flick, Gavi remains a great alternative option.

The metronome in midfield for Barcelona, Pedri, is crucial to the team. With him available, the team functions better and everything seems to click into place.

After a sensational performance against RCD Mallorca in his last game, Lamine Yamal should absolutely be starting this game, considering the difference that he can make.

CAM: Fermin Lopez

Hansi Flick might have a big call to make between choosing Dani Olmo or Fermin Lopez to start against Levante, but the latter does seem to be enjoying some consistent opportunities for now.

Back to scoring ways in his last appearance, the Brazilian forward seems to be in the mood to make an impact yet again for Barcelona this season.

With Robert Lewandowski having just returned to training, it seems unlikely for him to start just yet. Fortunately, Ferran Torres is a great option in attack and even scored in his previous appearance.
