Head to Head Record

First Matchup Between Two Clubs In A While

Barcelona Team News

Ronald Araujo and Pedri missed the previous match against Juventus since they were both rested, but they’re both anticipated to start on Saturday.

Sergi Roberto, who left the game against the Italian powerhouses in the first half after picking up a knock, is questionable, therefore Sergino Dest may start at right back instead.

The starting lineup against the Old Lady will likely be altered by head coach Xavi, who may start Gavi, Raphinha, and Ansu Fati with Araujo, Pedri, and Dest.

Lewandowski is yet to score for his new team, but should once again be in charge of the attack, with Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang expected to drop to the bench.

New York Red Bulls Team News

Due to a shoulder issue, AJ Marcucci will not be available for the New York Red Bulls, and head coach Struber will need to evaluate his players’ level of fitness following the match with Orlando.

The 19-year-old Caden Clark and English midfielder Dru Yearwood are both anticipated to play some part in the starting lineup.

Omir Fernandez, Patryk Klimala, and 17-year-old Serge Ngoma may join Omir Fernandez and Patryk Klimala in the final third of the field as the MLS team lines up in a 3-4-3 formation.

The Red Bulls could also start Lewis Morgan, a Scottish midfielder who has nine league goals this year.
