This Saturday night, Barcelona will host Real Madrid at the Nou Camp hoping to earn a positive result in the Clasico. The Catalan team has momentum coming into this game thanks to their 2-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Xavi is likely to make one change to his starting lineup and will deploy his team in a 4-3-3 configuration. In this match, Alejandro Balde will replace Marcos Alonso, who will start on the bench.

4-3-3 Lineup Prediction For Barcelona’s Match Against Real Madrid

Defence

After allowing one goal in his previous game, Marc-Andre ter Stegen will start between the posts for Barcelona. Barca will start Ronald Araujo and Inigo Martinez in the middle of the defense to slow down Real Madrid’s onslaught.

Right defender Joao Cancelo is a certain to start, while left back Alejandro Balde will look to make a name for himself. They would both love to make an impact on the wings for the Catalan club.

On Xavi’s bench, Marcos Alonso will be in charge of covering the defense.

Midfield

To help win the ball possession fights in the middle of the field, Xavi might choose to play with a midfield three of Fermin Lopez, Oriol Romeu, and Ilkay Gundogan. If Barca are going to win all three points at the Nou Camp this weekend, it will be because all three of them are able to hold on to the ball effectively.

Gavi will have to settle for a spot on the bench, but he might have an impact in the second half if Xavi decides to bring him on.

Attack

On the left side, Joao Felix will attempt to stand out, while on the right, Lamine Yamal will do his best to make a name for himself.

Barca’s offense will be directed by Ferran Torres and his teammates. He’ll be feeling more confident going into this Clasico after getting on the scoresheet against Shakhtar Donetsk recently.

Marc Guiu will be used as a reserve player.
