Gordon, Martin And Balde To Start | 4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa

Barcelona will welcome Aston Villa to the Nou Camp this Tuesday in a high-stakes Champions League clash, aiming to build on their recent commanding 6-1 victory over Alaves. Manager Hansi Flick has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with key rotational changes expected, including the debut starts of Anthony Gordon, Gerard Martin, and Alejandro Balde in the front three.

In goal, Joan Garcia will take the field after conceding just once in his last appearance, while the backline will feature Pau Cubarsi alongside Martin, with Joao Cancelo and Balde providing width on the flanks. Midfield control will rest on Pedri and Rodri, who will look to dominate possession and create chances for the attacking trio of Gordon, Fermin Lopez, and Lamine Yamal, who will press Villa’s defense from just in front of the midfield line.

Raphinha will lead the attack up top, with Gavi and Marc Bernal waiting on the bench alongside Karim Adeyemi, who may enter later if needed.
