TEAM NEWS
Barcelona have already qualified as group winners and are expected to rest 13 first-team players for the last match of this stage. Key players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi are all expected to be given the night off against BATE Borisov.
A number of B team starlets are in line for a Champions League outing. Andreu Fontas and Martin Montoya may be given the nod in defence, and Jonathan Dos Santos and Marti Riverola are likely to be given the chance to impress in midfield.
As for Barca's attacking options, Isaac Cuenca, fresh from a goal against Levante, will feature and he may be joined by summer recruit Kiko Femenia and Pedro, who has missed recent action with injury.
The Catalan side are without Adriano, who pulled a hamstring in last week's win over Rayo Vallecano but the Brazilian should be available for the Clasico if needed. Ibrahim Afellay is a long term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury.
