Barca square up against Monchengaldbach at the Borussia-Park
on 28th.
BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH
While for the German
side that already had quite a serious welcome to their European campaign this
year against Manchester City who quashed them 4-0 defensive part of the game is
still a problem. While among the injuries the prominent one is of Raffale their
star player. Playing against Barca will see them sit deep and depend on the
chances they get to counter tactic that Alalves used effectively in their 2-1
win over Barcelona weeks ago.
BARCELONA
For the Catalan giants it still could end up not being a
swift victory one might expect. They are playing without Messi but Neymar and
Suarez are making a brilliant front two with likes of Iniesta,Rakitic,Busquets
all available to act as their suppliers from mid-field. Also Alba who did not
feature against Sporting is expected to be back in the lineup. Aleix Vidal the
unfortunate candidate so far too can get a chance ahead of the new Alves for
Barca :Sergi Roberto.
Lineups-
FCB: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Mascherano,
Pique, Alba; Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets; Turan, Suarez, Neymar
MGD: Sommer; Elvedi, Christensen, Vestergaard;
Traore, Dahoud, Kramer, Johnson; Stindl; Hahn, Hazard
While things can turn interesting if Gladbach score first
to put pressure on Barca. Given the form they are in expect an easy victory for
Barcelona here.
