Barcelona - WWWWLD
Lamine Yamal (Ankle injury), Ferran Torres (Hamstring injury), Ansu Fati (Muscle injury), Andreas Christensen (Achilles tendon irritation), Marc-André ter Stegen (Patellar tendon rupture) and Marc Bernal (Cruciate ligament tear) are unavailable for Barcelona gaffer Hansi Flick.
In our view, Barça may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Inaki Pena, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Gerard Martin, Marc Casado, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Pedri, Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona will play in this fixture after a 2-2 La Liga tied result against Celta Vigo.
In that match, Barcelona managed 59% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Barcelona, the scorers were Raphinha (15') and Robert Lewandowski (61'). Celta Vigo got 15 shots on goal with 8 on target. Alfon González (84') and Hugo Álvarez (86') scored for Celta Vigo.
Matches with Barcelona have proved to be entertaining ones of late with plenty of scoring being the norm. Over their past 6 clashes alone, a total of 27 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 4.5 goals per game) with 21 of them belonging to Barcelona. Nonetheless, time will tell whether that trend might be maintained in this upcoming match.
Brest - DWLWLL
Brest manager Éric Roy has to currently contend with reduced team options. Abdallah Sima (Muscle injury), Bradley Locko (Achilles tendon rupture) and Pierre Lees-Melou (Peroneus tendon injury) can’t be considered.
There’s a good chance that Les Ty' Zefs seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-1-2 formation, giving starts to Marco Bizot, Kenny Lala, Brendan Chardonnet, Julien Le Cardinal, Jordan Amavi, Mahdi Camara, Hugo Magnetti, Edimilson Fernandes, Kamory Doumbia, Mama Balde and Ludovic Ajorque.
Since a losing effort in their last game against Monaco in Ligue 1 competition, Brest and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Brest managed 48% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Brest, the goalscorers were Abdallah Sima (50') and Ludovic Ajorque (90'). Monaco had 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. Maghnes Akliouche (5', 90') and Aleksandr Golovin (24') scored for Monaco.
Looking at their form, and Brest have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. Defensively, Brest have some weaknesses to address.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Casado; Olmo, Pedri, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Brest possible starting lineup:
Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Le Cardinal, Amavi; Camara, Lees-Melou, Fernandes; Balde, Ajorque, Doumbia
