FC Barcelona would be hoping to increase their lead at top to nine points atleast for 24 hours when they face Recreativo at Camp Nou. Recreativo has been good away from their home this season, but to win at Camp Nou could be a difficult ask for a team which lies in the relegation zone. FC Barcelona are in quite some for following the 4-0 destruction of Bayern at Camp Nou in the mid week. They are looking getting back to their best and the four consecutive clean sheets are a testimony for that. But what worries Guardiola and fans would be the fact that we lost to team lying in Relegation zone this season. Earlier this season Barca won at Recreativo 2-0 with Messi and Keita scoring the goals. Guardiola would definitely rest some of his players with the visit to Germany coming soon. But I don't see a wholesale change to the team.
Guardiola has almost the entire squad barring Abidal and Milito for selection for tonight's game. He could go for Alves, Marquez, Puyol and Sylivinho in defense infornt of Valdes. The midfield should have the two little masters - Iniesta and Xavi. Toure could be rested and Busquesta could do his job for tonight's clash. I would prefer Iniesta and Xavi in midfield rathr than resting anyone. The aim should be to finish off the game quickly and then rest these players. The forward line up could see some change with Bojan clubbing with Hleb and Messi. My prediction is for Barca to win this by 4-0.
