Barcelona
Barcelona will be without Puyol and
Mascherano in this match and defense will be a headache for Vilanova.
The return of Abidal might give Vilanova some options and this is the
time when the 13-point lead will come handy. Montoya and Bartra might
get some precious playing time and this is when they will have to show
why the management should persist with them next season. Alba should be
the final player in the defense.
Midfield should ideally have Song and
Alcantara. For Song too, these might be the matches to prove that he
deserves his chance next season and should provide with the defensive
screen over the fragile defense. Alcantara will definitely be the bright
spot with his runs and through passes. His ability to drift away from
players is praiseworthy and has great ball control. His long range
shooting is an asset to the team and in years to come this skill should
be honed. Finally Andres Iniesta is expected to mentor the other two in
midfield. Xavi will get some much needed rest.
Up front Lionel Messi will certainly not
play due to the injury which might not have healed totally. In the
absence of Messi, Fabregas and Villa are sure to start along with either
Tello or Alexis. The business end of the season with a handsome margin
often gives teams a chance to test their youth players and that is where
Tello makes the cut. Although he is almost certain to be a first team
player next season, Vilanova will still want him to go out and get some
minutes under his belt.
Probable Starting Line-up (4-3-3): Valdes; Montoya, Abidal, Bartra, Alba; Song, Alcantara, Iniesta; Villa, Fabregas, Tello.
Athletic Bilbao
A team to be revered. However, this
Bilbao isn’t the one that ruled the roost over Manchester United at Old
Trafford last season. This Bilbao is far more docile and error-prone.
With the departure of some of their major stars now on the horizon
(Llorente, Muniain, et al), the end of an era looks imminent. Against
Barcelona, Bilbao will be without Laporte, Ruiz and Perez due to injury
and Iturraspe with suspension. The latter’s loss will be crucial for the
hosts. In defense, Iraola and Aurtenetxe are expected to man either
side. In the middle, Gurpegi and Ekiza will protect the fortress. Behind
them, Iraizoz will be under the three sticks.
Bilbao are expected to have a double
pivot comprising Jose and Ander. Ander Herrera is one of the brightest
young talents and will play a key role in this game. His ability to push
and pressurize the opposition is as good as they get. Llorente will
start one of his last matches for Bilbao and assisting him will be the
trio of Susaeta, Muniain and Marcos. The trio has the ability to torment
the fragile Barca defense and with Llorente, they will have the cutting
edge. Expect them to score past the Barca defense.
Probable Starting Line-up (4-2-3-1): Iraizoz; Iraola, Gurpegi, Ekiza, Aurtenetxe; Ander, Jose; Susaeta, Muniain, Marcos; Llorente.
