To end this 9th day of La Liga, Granada hosts FC Barcelona at the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium at 9 p.m. this Sunday evening (follow the match live on FM). Currently 3rd in La Liga, Xavi’s men have the opportunity to climb one step onto the podium in the event of a victory against Granada and continue their unbeaten streak since the start of the season. 6 wins and 2 draws, a series which could continue against an opponent against whom the Catalans remain in 3 games without a victory (2 draws and 1 defeat). Opposite, the Andalusians are having a difficult start to the season with only 5 points in 8 games and a 19th place for Paco Lopez’s men.
As for the compositions, Xavi aligns the young people. Yamal and Fermin will start respectively on the right wing and in midfield. Ferran Torres replaces Lewandowski up front, Frenchman Koundé in central defense with Christensen. The Granada players will be in a 4-man defense with Sánchez, Rubio, Miquel and Neva. An attacking quartet made up of Fernandez, Boye, Uzuni and Bryan.
Team compositions:
Granada CF : Ferreira – Sánchez, Rubio, Miquel, Neva (cap.) – Bryan, Villar, Gumbau, Fernández – Uzuni, Boye.
