FC Barcelona vs Deportivo : predicted lineups
FC Barcelona are yet to wake up from their recent nightmarish performance. After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, the Catalan team fell hard, once again, short from expectations, succumbing at the expense of the liga rival Valencia CF last time out.
One point from 12 possible points is FC Barcelona’s current record and then last weekend’s defeat against Valencia CF was the straw that really broke the camel’s back for some of the team’s supporters, who as expected heavily criticized and even insulted the players after the game.
Andrés Iniesta wrote on Twitter that what happened last Sunday cannot truly be explained while he also remembered that Barça only would depend on themselves to win La Liga. In fact, one must agree with Iniesta’s strong claims, but it is also true that the team’s current run of form is far from being good and that a negative result at Riazor next time out would definitely cost the Catalan team the league title.
Luis Enrique will not be able to rely on the loyal services of Gerard Piqué in the FC Barcelona vs Deportivo clash, who is currently suspended, after picking up his now tenth yellow card of the season last time out. Mathieu, Sandro Ramirez and Vermaelen will also be missing out there because of injury.
As for Deportivo de La Coruña, the Galician team have been extremely inconsistent in the second-half of this season and have only won one of their last five matches. After losing at home to Quique Setién’s powerful UD Las Palmas, Depor clawed a valuable point from their visit to Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán only last weekend as they held Sevilla FC to a draw.
