Defending La Liga champions FC Barcelona take on league minnows Levante FC in an important game on Sunday night. The Catalonian giants are currently at the top of the table with nine points from the first 3 matches. Barcelona defeated league rivals Atletico De Madrid in the last game 2-1. They had a tough team to encounter in that game but somehow managed to beat Atletico after going down in the game. Neymar and Lionel Messi scored the goals to confirm 3 full points from the away encounter. This week Barcelona traveled to Italy to face AS Roma in a UEFA Champions League opening fixture. After going a goal behind early, Roma scored a stunning goal to restore parity. Even though they drew, Barcelona will be high on confidence and we expect a full three points from the defending champions.

Possible lineup of FC Barcelona against Levante FC

Goalkeeper – Marc-Andre Ter Stegen

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is likely to retain his position as the first choice goalkeeper ahead of Claudio Bravo irrespective of conceding a goal against AS Roma for which he was at fault.

Defenders – Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba.

In the absence of Dani Alves, Sergi Roberto will continue to play as a right full-back. Gerard Pique will start in this important clash and he will be accompanied by Argentina international Javier Mascherano who was rested in the midweek Champions League clash. Jordi Alba will continue to be the left-back for Barcelona. The inclusion of Mascherano makes the defender even stronger. Thomas Vermaelen is yet again out with an injury.

Midfielders – Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta

The midfield is likely to remain the same. In the absence of Rafinha in the midfield, Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic will have to take an extra load in the field. It is up to them to control the game play and feed the ball to the world famous trio.

Forwards – Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar

The world famous trio and the best attack group in world football at present will start against a weak Levante side. They are expected to toy with the Levante defense.

Prediction

Barcelona 3-0 Levante

FC Barcelona are expected to win this tie easily and we predict a 3-0 scoreline in the league giants favour. Even though the champions have not managed to score more than 2 goals in a game so far, we expect the trio of Messi, Suarez and Neymar to find their scoring boots from this match.
