Barcelona will welcome Dynamo Kyiv at the Nou Camp on Wednesday evening as they look to earn all three points in front of their home fans. The Catalans managed to pick up a 3-1 victory over Valencia in La Liga last weekend which will give them some confidence ahead of their European game in midweek.
Ronald Koeman will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation and could make a few changes to his starting XI for this game. Oscar Mingueza, Philippe Coutinho and Nico Gonzalez are expected to play from the start as Koeman looks to freshen up his first team for this game.
4-3-3 Barcelona Predicted Lineup Vs Dynamo Kyiv
Defence
Marc-André ter Stegen will feature in between the sticks for the Catalans after shipping in one goal versus Valencia in his last outing. Gerard Pique will partner up with Oscar Mingueza in central defence as they focus on keeping things solid at the back this Wednesday evening.
Sergi Roberto could retain his spot at right-back while Jordi Alba fills in on the other side as the left-back. Both Barca full-backs will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack whenever they can so that the Catalan giants can create enough chances to win this game.

Midfield
Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong will make up the Barca midfield. Their main job would be to control possession at the centre of the park and create some clear-cut chances for their teammates deep inside the Dynamo Kyiv half.
Pedri will definitely miss this match because of a thigh injury. However, Riqui Puig and Gavi will be available for selection on Koeman’s bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second half if required.
Attack
Ansu Fati will look to build on his wonderful goal-scoring display against Valencia by putting in a productive performance for the Catalan side on the left-wing. Philippe Coutinho could get a chance to impress down the right flank.
Memphis Depay will keep his place as Koeman’s primary centre-forward. The Dutchman scored a goal and bagged an assist in his last appearance, so he will once again be Barca’s main weapon up top.
