FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez is expected to make four big changes to his starting line up that will face RCD
The defending champions returned to the summit on Saturday following a spirited 3-2 comeback win over Celta Vigo at the Montjuic Stadium.
With Real Madrid losing the capital’s derby 3-1 against Atletico Madrid the following evening, the Blaugrana managed to keep pole position in the table.
They will strive to maintain it with a victory over their Balearic Island foes, who currently hover two spots above the relegation zone.
Given the amount of matches that Barca have in such a short space of time before the international break, with a home meeting against Sevilla on Friday followed by a trip to Porto in the Champions League Wednesday, Xavi has promised rotations.
“There will be an average of two or three rotations per game, to have them one hundred percent and prevent injuries,” he stated on Monday in his pre-match press conference.
In his starting XI for the task at hand, the recently-renewed coach has kept his word with Ronald Araujo, Inigo Martinez and Raphinha the three biggest switches off the bat.
Up top, the Brazilian replaces Ferran Torres on the right wing, but the Spain international fills in for Robert Lewandowski as a striker with Joao Felix on the left flank.
Much further back, Araujo returns to the heart of defense to partner Inigo Martinez. The duo are flanked by Alejandro Balde and Joao Cancelo, the hero against Celta Vigo, to their left and right.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is the goalkeeper of course, and will look to put Saturday’s blip behind him where he conceded two goals on the break after previously having kept a pair of clean sheets.
In midfield, Frenkie de Jong leaving the pitch in the first half of the weekend win, and likely being ruled out for seven weeks to miss El Clasico, means that his substitute that day who provided the assist for Cancelo’s winner assumes his berth in the starting line up.
This is none other than the Golden Boy Gavi of course, who has stepped up in Pedri’s injured absence too. In the center of the park, he will operate alongside Ilkay Gundogan while they receive pivot support from Oriol Romeu.
FC Barcelona is expected to make three big changes to their starting lineup for their match against RCD Mallorca. Xavi Hernandez, the head coach, has promised rotations due to the busy schedule before the international break. Ronald Araujo, Inigo Martinez, and Raphinha are the three major switches in the lineup. Frenkie de Jong’s injury means that the talented youngster Gavi will start in midfield alongside Ilkay Gundogan and with pivot support from Oriol Romeu. The team will aim to maintain their position at the top of the table with a victory over Mallorca.
