Hansi Flick is set to implement changes to his lineup as Barça prepares to face Sevilla. The expected modifications come after Lamine Yamal’s recent injury, which necessitates a fresh attacking approach. This game will take place at the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, where tactics will be pivotal for achieving victory.
Changes in Defense and Midfield
Flick has a history of making adjustments, averaging four changes per match due to injuries. Notably, he has altered his defensive structure in seven out of nine official games. Wojciech Szczęsny will resume his role in goal, with the defense likely seeing some shifts.
- Araujo and Christensen may not start together, as Koundé and Balde are favored for the full-back positions.
- Flick’s midfield preference includes pairing Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, a combination he has used in six out of nine matches.
- In the remaining three instances, Casadó joined Pedri in midfield.
Attacking Options Without Key Players
With the absence of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Fermín, Flick must construct a reliable attack. The urgency for three points makes this an essential match. Flick has utilized nine different attacking combinations so far, but can only repeat one: the setup against Oviedo featuring Roony, Dro, and Rashford. However, this option is off the table for the Sevilla match.
Potential Attack Combinations
Flick has several options to consider for the forward line:
- Ferran and Rashford on the wings with Olmo in a central role and Lewandowski up front.
- Alternatively, a trio of Roony, Olmo, and Rashford could lead the attack.
As the team heads into this crucial match against Sevilla, fans eagerly anticipate how Flick will transform the lineup to secure a win.
