Barcelona bid to bounce back from a Matchday 3 loss against PSG when they host Aston Villa at the Nou Camp in the Champions League on November 3. The visitors have won all three games in the competition this season.

Free-Scoring Barcelona Back on Track

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona bounced back on Saturday, ending a two-game losing run with a dominant 6-1 win over Alaves.

No team across Europe’s top five leagues has scored more goals than the Catalans in 2026-27 (46). However, Barcelona will need to improve defensively, as they have conceded seven goals in their previous three. Raphinha has been in excellent recent form, scoring three in his last two.

Andreas Christensen is back in training, but Eric Garcia remains out. Therefore, Frenkie de Jong could retain his spot in central defence, having completed a game-high 124 passes in Saturday’s win against Alaves.

Barcelona predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): J. Garcia; Farinas, Cubarsi, de Jong, Cancelo; Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Lopez, Gordon; Raphinha

Villa Aiming to Snap Winless Run

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa produced a season-best display to beat Manchester City on October 24. However, the Villans have since failed to lose in back-to-back games against Bournemouth and Fulham.

They have been poor defensively over that period, allowing four goals and scoring just once. Nicolas Jackson remains in red-hot recent form, scoring five in four appearances.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Matteo Ruggeri are injured, with Matty Cash and Ian Maatsen set to start at right-back and left-back, respectively. The former completed three tackles in the 1-1 draw with Fulham on Saturday.

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Cash, Torres, Mings, Maatsen; Kamara, Gomes; McGinn, Buendia, Manzambi; Jackson
