Confrontation between two opposing teams this Thursday evening. For the 36th day of LaLiga, FC Barcelona, second, travels to Almeria. If the hosts are already relegated to the second division after 17 small points in 36 matches played, Barça must continue to be serious at the end of the season in order to keep their second place. Before this meeting, the Blaugranas are only one unit ahead of Girona, third, and three over Atlético de Madrid, fourth. The meeting can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9:30 p.m.
For this match, Xavi is without several important players since Baldé, Araujo, De Jong, Gavi, all injured, as well as Gündogan, suspended, are unavailable today. The Spanish coach therefore aligns a 4-3-3 with Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez and Fort in defense, Pedri, Sergi Roberto and Fermin Lopez in midfield and an attacking trio Yamal-Lewandowski-Torres. Cancelo, Christensen and Raphinha start on the bench. Opposite, Pepe Mel also aligns a 4-3-3 with, in particular, Leo Baptistao, Lozano and Embarba on the front of the attack.
Team compositions:
**Almeria: Maximiano – Pubill, Montes, Chumi, Langa – Viera, Pena, Robertone – Leo Basptistao, Lozano, Embarba
FC Barcelona : ter Stegen – Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez, Fort – Pedrid, S.Roberto, F.Lopez – Yamal, Lewandoski, F.Torres
