Predicted Barcelona line-up to face Las Palmas in La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to take on Las Palmas at the Montjuic Stadium in their upcoming La Liga fixture. The Catalan giants will want to continue their fine form this season by ensuring another victory, and getting some important three points. With Real Madrid closing in, Barcelona simply cannot afford to drop any more points in La Liga.

Against Las Palmas, Hansi Flick will be able to count on some very important players to get the result his team needs. Moreover, the German coach will hope to field a strong eleven that can get the job done.

Here is how Hansi Flick’s Barcelona could line up for the game.

Expected Line-up:

Goalkeeper: Inaki Pena

The Spanish goalkeeper continues to exceed expectations in recent performances as he ensures that the team does not miss the injured Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. His performances have been mostly faultless, and it is the reason why Wojciech Szczesny is yet to play a single official minute.

Left-back: Alejandro Balde

With ample rest now, Alejandro Balde should be capable enough to start in this upcoming La Liga game. His speed and width could be crucial for Barcelona, and it could really help out whichever forward ends up playing out on the left side of the attack.

Centre-back: Inigo Martinez

In many ways, the veteran defender never lets his age show. His commitment remains absolute and the Spaniard has shown again and again that his physical prowess will not let the team down. It also helps that he is technically perfect for Barcelona as well.

Centre-back: Pau Cubarsi

The youngster has proven time and time again that he has what it takes to go head to head against the very best in the world. Now, in a season where he is being tested to his limits, Pau Cubarsi is almost always a guarantee for Hansi Flick.

Right-back: Jules Kounde

While he has his moments where he can make unwanted errors, Jules Kounde has proved with his consistency that he can be relied upon by Barcelona and his teammates. The Frenchman, more than likely, will thus end up starting this game as well.

CDM: Pedri

After a magical performance against Brest in his previous outing, Pedri will be in a great mindset to perform once again. Moreover, this matchup against Las Palmas could end up being a rather special one for him.

CDM: Gavi

With Frenkie de Jong still not at full fitness, and Marc Casado definitely suspended, Gavi becomes the likely solution for Hansi Flick to make use of in this game. Possessing the kind of tenacity and intensity that Barcelona needs to make this new system of theirs work, the young midfielder could have a lot to offer.

LAM: Fermin Lopez

A much better performance from Fermin Lopez in the previous game against Brest, the Spaniard now looks to be more energetic and direct as well. The confidence he potentially gained from his last outing, even if the finishing could have been better, could end up being quite useful to him.

crucial component of this team.

RAM: Raphinha

While Hansi Flick has already confirmed that Lamine Yamal will participate in this upcoming game, the chances of him starting look rather slim. As such, Raphinha may have to start off the game being deployed as the right-sided forward until Yamal comes on at some point.

Centre-forward: Robert Lewandowski

With a great milestone achieved against Brest in the last UEFA Champions League outing, Robert Lewandowski seems to be in the form of his life right now. Scoring goals for fun already, he would love to continue that trend against Las Palmas as well.
