Team News

Barcelona
Barcelona's absentee list is substantial, with Eric Garcia being added to that, as the Spaniard is suspended due to the red card that he picked up against Monaco in the team's last Champions League fixture.

There are seven further players unavailable through injury, with Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen all out.

Frenkie de Jong has not made a single appearance this season due to an ankle problem, but the Dutchman has a slight chance of being included in the squad for this match.

There will be changes from the side that started against Osasuna in the league, with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado and Inigo Martinez all set to be introduced.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Casado, Torre, Pedri; Lamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha

Young Boys
As for Young Boys, Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer and Facinet Conte are out of the match, but the Swiss outfit are otherwise in good shape in terms of their squad for this European fixture.

Joel Monteiro has been the team's standout player this season, scoring five goals and registering seven assists in 13 appearances in all competitions, and he is a certain starter for the visitors here.

Silvere Ganvoula has four in all competitions in 2024-25, meanwhile, and he could again lead the line, with Cedric Itten potentially being kept in reserve despite the fact that he has managed five goals this season.
Young Boys possible starting lineup:
Van Ballmoos; Athekame, Camara, Zoukrou, Hadjam; Niasse, Lauper; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Ganvoula

Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Young Boys
