Vissel Kobe vs Barcelona: Team News, Line-Ups, & Form Analysis
Vissel Kobe:
Vissel Kobe get ready to face Barcelona in a much better situation than in 2019 when the last went up against the Catalan outfit. The Japanese team have been playing very well and they are also much stronger in every area of the pitch compared to the last time. Vissel Kobe are very likely to opt for Andres Iniesta in the starting lineup. The former Barcelona superstar was on the bench in the recent win over Tokyo. This is very likely to be his final appearance after announcing his departure from Vissel Kobe. There can be no better way of sending him off than introducing him in the starting line-up against his former team.
Predicted Line-Up:
Maekawa, Honda, Hatsuse, Yamakawa, Matheus Thuler, Yamaguchi, Iniesta, Saito, Sasaki, Osako, Muto
Barcelona:
Barcelona had a very disappointing end to the La Liga campaign in terms of results. Even though the campaign ended on a successful note with the league title, the Catalan outfit have suffered three defeats in the last four league encounters. Manager Xavi is likely to field his full strength team considering that there are not too many injury concerns for the team coming into the game. Xavi will be looking to get reunited with his former teammates like Iniesta.
Predicted Line-Up:
M ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, Christensen, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Kessie, Frankie de Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha
Player to Watch: Ansu Fati
Ansu Fati comes into the match on a rich vein of form which has seen him grab three goals in the last two matches. The Barcelona forward will be at the centre of attention once again in a match that brings former stars together. Even though Ansu Fati may not be playing the full 90 minutes, there is a very good chance that the youngster will be able to get on the scoresheet in the limited time at his disposal.
Starting Line-Ups:
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
