Barcelona vs Porto prediction: Team news, lineups & form
Barcelona
Barcelona haven’t been firing of late and dropped points at the weekend in La Liga in the 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Their injury problems have eased overall but they’ve recently lost Gavi to a potentially season ending injury while goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen missed the Rayo game and is a major doubt for this one.
Predicted Lineup: Pena (GK), Balde, Kounde, Araujo, Cancelo, Gundogan, Romeu, Pedri, Felix, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Porto
Since losing to Barcelona, Porto have beaten Antwerp twice to get their Champions League campaign back on track. They last played on Friday, winning 4-0 in the Portuguese Cup against minnows Montalegre. They rested a host of key players in that game so their eleven will be very different here, although the visitors are still hampered by injuries to Wendell and Ivan Marcano.
Predicted Lineup: Costa (GK), Sanusi, Carmo, Pepe, Mario, Galeno, Eustaquio, Varela, Franco, Taremi, Aquino
Player to watch: Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski stands out as the man most likely to break the deadlock in our predicted Barcelona vs Porto lineups. He limped off injured in the reverse fixture but has still been Barca’s main goal threat this term with 8 goals in all competitions from 13 starts. The Polish striker scored a brace in his team’s last home game against Alaves in La Liga earlier this month.
Starting lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
