BAR vs EIB Dream11 Match Prediction | La Liga

BAR vs EIB Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

La Liga champions Barcelona open the ninth round of the current season after the international break as they hit the road to take on Eibar at Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Barcelona are picking up some momentum following four consecutive wins in all competitions. That run has helped the Catalonia giants to make some ground on the points table. Though, they still trail leaders and eternal rivals Real Madrid by two points.

With the season’s first El Clasico getting postponed due to security concerns in Catalonia, Barca are more than capable of stringing together a winning sequence.

Eibar, though, will be eying a win for themselves and will hope to catch the visitors off guard after a two-week international hiatus.

The main and realistic target for Eibar should be a top-10 finish this season and they lack behind in that regard at the moment.

The La Liga match will be played between Eibar and Barcelona at Ipurua Municipal Stadium, in Eibar, Spain. The ground has a capacity of 7,083.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen, Neto, Arnau Tenas Urena

Midfielders: I. Rakitic, Sergio, Arthur, Aleñá, F. De Jong, Vidal
Attackers: Griezmann, Suarez, Messi, Ansu Fati, Perez

Likely changes from the last game:

Alba is fit and is in the squad, so expect him to start at left-back, allowing Semedo to move back to his favorite position on the right side of the defense.

Umtiti may be in the squad, but the Frenchman is clearly struggling with match fitness. Expect Todibo to partner Lenglet in the heart of the defense.
