The Blaugrana are not expected to struggle against Los Nazaríes, even if Lionel Messi isn't around to help them out.

Broadcast info

Who's playing? La Liga's 19th place, Granada, will try to keep their chances of avoiding relegation alive when they host Barcelona. Los Nazaríes have lost four out of their last five games, and facing the 2nd place in La Liga doesn't give them much chances of scratching at least one point.

This shouldn't be a complicated match for Barcelona, even without Lionel Messi. "La Pulga" will be out of this game after picking up his 5th yellow card this season, and will earn him a couple of extra days off following FIFA's International Break.

What time? Sunday, April 2, at 11:45 PT/ 13:45 CT/ 14:45 ET/ 18:45 GMT/ 19:45 BST/ 20:45 CEST

What stadium? The Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes will be the venue hosting this match. It can host up to 22,000 fans.

Team news

Granada enters this game desperately needing a win, following three straight losses. Coach Lucas Alcaraz brought stability to the team, but it hasn't been enough to lead them to safety. For this game, Alcaraz will not have two key players around: striker Adrián Ramos and midfielder Mehdi Carcelá-Gonzalez, both of them injured.

For Los Blaugranas, Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal will be out due to injury, while Lionel Messi sits this one out due to a one-match ban. This will give coach Luis Enrique a chance to test the 3-4-3 formation without "La Pulga", considering that the Argentinean is a key element in that formation. Paco Alcácer, Sergi Roberto or even Rafinha are in contention to take Messi's place in the starting XI.
