Go for the lead! Everything you need to know about FC Barcelona-Granada

The FC Barcelona receives this Thursday from the 19:00 hours of the afternoon to the Granada in the Camp Nou. The Barcelona are in front of an only opportunity, since in case to surpass to the Andalusians would put leaders of LaLiga. Right now, the culés have 71 points, the same that the Real Madrid and two less than the Athletic of Madrid, by what winning to the nazarís would plant with a point of advantage regarding the colchoneros.

Win to the ones of Diego Martínez is fundamental for the blaugrana if for real they want to be champions. Put first after tracing back him 12 points to the rojiblancos could be an almost definite hit for the ones of the Cholo Simeone. Besides, also it would move away to the madridistas and would do that the Catalans could arrive to the Barça-Athletic of the day 35 with advantage and depending entirely of them same.

It is necessary to remember that the duel of this Thursday belongs to the day 33 of LaLiga. Barcelona and Athletic Club played the final of the Glass of the King the week in which almost all the teams of First contested this day, by what now at last will equalise the returns between all. Madrid, Atleti, Barça and Seville, that with 70 points follows dreaming with the title, will be in equality of conditions once play this crash.

Regarding the eleven of the duel in front of the grenadian, do not expect big novelties​, although yes there are some players that could rotar. In defence, there are doubts regarding the presence of Ronald Araújo, acting in the final of Glass, in front of the Getafe and in Villarreal, that could go in by Óscar Mingueza. Besides, in the right could go in Sergi Roberto by Sergiño Dest so that the one of Reus follow winning feelings after his injury.

Koeman Has a big doubt in the forward

But the big doubt of Ronald Koeman is not neither in defence neither in the sides, but in the forward. Ousmane Dembélé, that did not confront to the getafenses by injury and that it was acting so much in the final copera as in front of the 'Yellow Submarine', could go back to the eleven. The problem is that unless it change of system and play with a 4-3-3, with a 4-2-4 or with a 3-4-3, so that the French go in would have to 'fall' of the alignment Antoine Griezmann.

'The Principito' is perhaps in his best moment since it arrived to the Barça to level of feelings and to level goleador, by what would be odd that his trainer did without he now. Sum 4 so many in the the last three meetings, marking in all they, and is being decisive for the team. Thus, it is very little likely that the '7' was acting this Thursday, with what Dembélé could see again another crash from the bench.

The Granada arrives in picture but with win of revancha

By his part, the Granada will arrive to this commitment eighth to eight points of the Europe League. The ones of Diego Martínez apurarán to the end his European options and thus they will not give the points of the Camp Nou. However, they will not have it at all easy with the eight drops that will have for the duel. Sundays Duarte, Jesús Vallejo, Carlos Neva, Luis Mile, Alberto Soro and Neyder Lozano are lesionados, whereas Ángel Montoro and Antonio Door are sanctioned.

In spite of the absences, the trainer of the nazarís will take out an eleven competitive with important names like the ones of Yangel Herrera, Darwin Machís, Roberto Soldered or Kenedy. With all they, the Andalusians will try to avenge after the goleada that them infligió the Barcelona in the gone of League and in Glass of Rey. In the tournament copero, the grenadian had the pass in his hand and won 2-0 in the 88, but Griezmann marked the 2-1 then and in the 92 Jordi Alba empató and carried the party to the extention, where the culés traced back and finished winning 3-5.

Months after this mentioned defeat, the Granada will look for revancha in front of a Barça increasingly competitive and better. Besides, the ones of the New The Cármenes will try to break his abysmal series in the Camp Nou, where have not won never in his history. They are already 25 defeats and neither an alone tie or triumph of the Andalusians against the barcelonistas in his stadium, something that will try to remedy this Thursday.
