The sixth day of La Liga will conclude Thursday at 9:30 p.m. at ‘Carlos Tartiere’ with the challenge between Real Oviedo and Barcelona. The hosts come to the fixture after a narrow defeat against Elche, while the Blaugrana are fresh from a rounded success with Getafe but are chasing Real Madrid, the current leaders.

Paunovic opts for a 4-2-3-1: Rondon will occupy the center of the attack, with Santi Cazorla at his back and Hassan and Brekalo on the flanks, while Sibo and Dendoncker will form the midfield dike. In defense, Bailly with Carmo.

Flick, for his part, could opt for some rotation: in the three-quarter Dani Olmo is confirmed, with Raphinha and Rashford as wings, while in attack Ferran Torres is favored over Lewandowski. In defense Araujo is pawing for a starting spot, in the middle of the field Pedri ahead of De Jong.

Probable lineups

Real Oviedo (4-2-3-1): Escandell; Ahijado, Bailly, Carmo, Alhassane; Dendoncker, Sibo; Hassan, Santi Cazorla, Breaklo; Rondon. Coach: Paunovic.

Barcelona (4-2-3-1): J.Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Martin; Casado, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Rashford; Ferran. Coach: Flick
