FC Barcelona visits the Reale Arena this Sunday for the dispute of the 2nd day of LaLiga Santander 2022-23. Xavi Hernández would implement a few changes in the line-up of the Catalans
The FC Barcelona wants to add his first three points of the season 2022-2023, this Sunday in front of the Real Sociedad in the Reale Sand, in the corresponding party to the second day of LaLiga Santander. The balloon will throw to run to the 22:00 hours and the culés are forced to 'redeem' after a performance 'toneless' in front of the Ray Vallecano the past week. The requirement is maximum and the Barça is forced to fulfil.
Xavi Hernández will be forced to implement several changes in his alignment, conditioned by the absence of Sergio Busquets that it was expelled by double yellow in front of the Ray. The egarense could implement several novelties in the XI regarding the of the first day, but everything seems to indicate to that will keep the trident ofrensivo once again. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:
Likely alignments of the Real Sociedad-FC Barcelona
- XI of the Real Sociedad: Remiro; Elustondo, Zubeldia, Him Normand, Aihen; Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Silva; Kubo, Brais Méndez and Isak.
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; S. Roberto, Eric, Araújo, Alba; Pjanic, Pedri, Of Jong; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Dembélé.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta German does not have discussion neither competition under the three sticks. It is indisputable for Xavi Hernández and already against the Ray Vallecano showed that it wants to be important, after saving two very clear occasions. Ter Stegen Is prepared for a season to the maximum level and knows that it will be key for his future. It wants to go back to be the angel guardian of the culés.
Roberto-Eric-Araújo-Alba
In the defence there are some doubts, especially in the right side. Already Xavi announced that it does not have Sergiño Dest, that is the only natural player for this position. It foresees that it will bet by a discussed Sergi Roberto, so that Ronald Araújo return to his original place and share saga with Eric García, whereas by the left band will appear Jordi Alba.
Pedri-Pjanic-Of Jong
With the absence of the sanctioned Sergio Busquets, Xavi has two options for the pivote: Pjanic or Of Jong, although it already left to see that to the Dutch sees it more as inner. The bosnio could appear like mediocentro, accompanied by Frenkie and Pedri González. Gavi Would split from the bench in this opportunity, put the ex of the Ajax was the one who 'encouraged' to the culés in the second part against the Ray Vallecano. Franck Kessié is another alternative.
Raphinha-Lewandowski-Dembélé
In front of the imminent exits of Aubameyang and Memphis (the club the 'will protect' to avoid injuries), there are few doubts of the line of attack by which will bet Xavi Hernández, that could be exactly the same to the one of the past week, with Raphinha in the right extreme and Dembélé in the left, leaving to Robert Lewandowski in the centre of the forward. In the bench will expect Ansu Fati and a recovered Ferran Torres.
