At 03:00 a.m. on April 30, Beijing time, the 33rd round of La Liga will stage an interesting strong dialogue, and La Liga giants Barcelona will host Valencia, a veteran La Liga powerhouse.
In the first 32 rounds, Barcelona won 21 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, accumulating 70 points, 11 points behind the leader Real Madrid, ranking second in La Liga.
Therefore, in this round of the game against Valencia, Barcelona is quite a bit of a desireless taste. However, coach Xavi, who has just promised the club to stay, will definitely go all out in the last six rounds of the next six games and play the strongest team in his mind. The data shows that in the last 6 meetings against Valencia, Barcelona has won 5 and drawn 1 and has not tasted defeat, so as long as Barcelona plays at a normal level, winning Valencia should be a high probability.
In goal, of course, Ter Stegen will continue to guard the Barcelona goal, and at the back, it is no surprise that Xavi will continue to play his usual back four, with Cancelo, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde expected to start. Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo will play in a pairing of centre-backs, while Jules Kounde and Joao Cancelo will play at wing-back.
In midfield, there is no doubt that Spanish midfielder Fermin Lopes is expected to be in charge of interception and tackle in Barcelona midfield in the event of Frenkie de Jong's injury, while the versatile veteran Roberto should be paired with Fermin Lopes in a two-man midfield combination. In front of the two midfielders, former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is expected to continue to sit in front as the attacking commander, passing the ball to feed the cake, organising the dispatch and dominating the team's attacking line.
In the forward line, it is not surprising that it will still be the leading striker Lewandowski who will charge for Barcelona in the frontcourt, and the two wingers who will form a strategy for Lewandowski should be the 16-year-old genius prodigy Yamal and the Brazilian demon striker Raphinha. To sum up, the final expected Barcelona starting 11 against Valencia are: Ter Stegen, Cancelo, Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Kounde, Fermin López, Roberto, Gundogan, Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
