Round three in La Liga is underway and with it comes a new challenge for Barcelona in their title defense. The Blaugrana will be keen on maintaining their perfect start to the new season and, on paper, should stroll to a comfortable win in Sunday’s game.
Valverde’s side will lock horns with Huesca and will have the home advantage, as this game will be played at Camp Nou. Barcelona’s opponent is a newly-promoted side that is enjoying its first ever season in the Spanish top-flight.
However, the Spanish Primera Division debutant has made a lively start, grabbing four points from their opening two games. Additionally, they have scored four goals – two goals in each match – en route to picking up a win and a draw.
The Catalan giant has lost to newly-promoted teams at home before, with defeats to Hercules and Alaves springing to mind. However, Messi and Co. will be eager to turn on the style after struggling at Valladolid last weekend.
Their awful pitch was mainly to blame for Barcelona’s unimpressive showing, with a better performance being needed. Leo, having scored a brace in the opening game, will be keen on adding to his tally of two goals.
