Espanyol vs Barcelona "Match Preview"

Without Henry, Eto, Deco, Thuram, Edmilson, Oleguer, Giovani and Sylvinho, Frank Rijkaard calls up each of Marc Crosas, Alberto Botia and Victor Sanchez to join the list facing Espanyol this Saturday. This will make the mission harder for Barcelona players while they are willing to prove themself away from the Nou Camp after successful night in the Champions league.

The start line up will not be different from the one played against Lyon, the only thing is that we might see Ronaldinho starting the match. But beside this, Frank Rijkaard will apply the same strategy.

Taking into account the history of both teams, Barcelona has better chance to win the game. But Espanyol has never been the easy opponent in the derby. Last year as we all remember Espanyol beat Barca 3-1.
