Barcelona will welcome Eintracht Frankfurt at the Nou Camp this Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalan giants managed to secure a 5-3 win over Real Betis recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this clash. Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez could all play from the start of this game.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joan Garcia will function in between the sticks for the Catalan club after shipping in three goals in his last appearance. Pau Cubarsi will operate alongside Gerard Martin at the centre of the Barcelona backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Balde will fill in as the left-back, while Jules Kounde hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the right-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

Andreas Christensen will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.<\/p>\n

The talented trio of Raphinha, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal will play just ahead of them as part of Flick\u2019s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if Barcelona are to come out on top against Eintracht Frankfurt this week.<\/p>\n

Marc Bernal, Marcus Rashford and Marc Casado will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Robert Lewandowski will spearhead Flick\u2019s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.<\/p>\n

Ferran Torres will be available for selection on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the final quarter if Barcelona are in need of a goal by then.<\/p>\n
