Olmo To Start, Lopez On The Bench | 4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup Vs Levante

Last updated on: August 21, 2025

Barcelona will face off against Levante at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Saturday night as they look to secure a win on the road in La Liga. The Catalan club managed to earn a comfortable 3-0 win away at Mallorca last weekend, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Hansi Flick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one tweak to his first XI for this clash. Dani Olmo could get a chance to play from the start of this game, while Fermin Lopez makes way for him and drops to the bench.

Defence

Joan Garcia will play in goal for the Catalan club after keeping a clean sheet in the opening weekend of this La Liga campaign. Pau Cubarsi will partner up with Ronald Araujo at the centre of the Barcelona backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Eric Garcia will be named as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde hopes to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Jules Kounde will be available for selection on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield

Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will anchor the midfield once again for Barcelona. Their main focus would be to control the flow of the game and engineer some meaningful chances for their teammates up top.

The gifted trio of Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal will function just ahead of them as part of Flick’s attack. Both Raphinha and Yamal would try to get in behind the Levante defence at every chance they get.

Fermin Lopez and Gavi will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Ferran Torres will lead the line for the Catalan club up top. The Spanish talent managed to score in his last outing and would be eager to keep his good form going in front of the opponent’s goal.

Marcus Rashford will have to be content with a place on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if Barcelona are in need of a goal by then.
