Barcelona will entertain Athletic Bilbao at the Nou Camp this Saturday as they hope to secure a win at their newly renovated stadium. The Catalan club managed to earn an impressive 4-2 victory away at Celta Vigo before the international break, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Hansi Flick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this clash. Both Joan Garcia and Marc Casado could play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Athletic Bilbao
Defence
Joan Garcia will function in goal for the Catalan club as he looks to keep a clean sheet this weekend. Ronald Araujo will play alongside Pau Cubarsi at the heart of the Barcelona backline as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.
Eric Garcia will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.
Andreas Christensen will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado will anchor the midfield for Barca as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
Marcus Rashford will try to impress as the left-winger, while Lamine Yamal looks to make a difference from the right flank. Both of them will try to get in behind the Bilbao backline at every chance they get.
Dani Olmo will function in the number ten position for Barca. He would have to carry most of the creative burden for Barca in the final third.
Marc Bernal and Roony Bardghji will have to be content with a place on the bench.
Attack
Robert Lewandowski will spearhead Barcelona’s attack up top. The Poland international would be eager to find the back of the net at the Nou Camp this weekend.
Ferran Torres will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if Barca are in need of a goal by then.
