Barcelona Barça Hercules ... Hercules with outstanding accounts

Barcelona will try to strengthen his lead in the first division, and put more pressure on Real Madrid, on a visit to Rico Perez Stadium in Alicante where he expects the Hercules, which happens to be the only team to have beaten in this league. The Hercules, so far, is a team that has been much stronger in the games and local dispute when it does on the road, where surprisingly only won at Barcelona in the Nou Camp (0-2).

It clings to Alicante to try to set a new surprise to the leader. However, the difficulty is even greater for the Hercules taking into account that face the game without their usual central couple. Abraham Paz has not recovered in time to a muscle discomfort and dragging in the last training, has suffered a hamstring Noe Pamarot.

Given these absences, Mohammed Sarr of Senegal, who has only played one league match, and Sergio Rodriguez will occupy the center of the rear of the team coached by Esteban Vigo. Entered on the list despite having a foot problem is the Paraguay striker Nelson Haedo Valdez, author of the two goals he scored the Hercules during his visit to Barcelona in the first round.

The other big news in the notice is the presence of Javier Farinas, for the first time all season, after overcoming a long injury and the absence of Dutch midfielder Royston Drenthe, who claimed sore knee for not going to play against Bilbao Athletic and has been left out by technical decision after train well during the week.

After leaving nearly doomed their qualification for the first end of the year with a win at Almeria in the Copa del Rey (5-0), Barcelona returned to the League with the aim of adding its fifteenth consecutive victory. The Barcelona of Records has a score to settle with the Hercules, he was surprised at the start of the championship and took the three points of the Camp Nou.

In fact, the set Alicante is not just the only one who has managed to win the Pep Guardiola in this championship, but also the only rival to that Barcelona have not scored. From that day, Barça chained 28 games without defeat. The team now heads Esteban Vigo has never been particularly well at Barcelona.

Hercules was doomed to decline which deprived him of winning the league the 1996-97 season, with Bobby Robson on the bench, to win both games of that course. Neither Guardiola and his players want this to happen again fourteen years later. Reasons for optimism abound him. The Catalans have won all their away games in the first round and are in a sweet moment of play.

Little remains of the team that stumbled to the Alicante at the start of the championship and had many of his players, almost all World Cup, out of shape. With low by injury and Jeffren Puyol, Bojan and disease, which has fallen from intestinal problems, Barcelona faces the match with a new development, the recovery of Alves, absent the last two weeks by a small fiber breakage .

Alves himself recover ownership, and Sergio Busquets and Valdes, after his absence in the Cup semi-final at the expense of Adriano, Mascherano and Pinto, respectively. Guardiola aligned, therefore, in eleven gala, with the exception of Puyol, which will be replaced once again by Abidal in the rear axle.

Hercules Probable lineups: Calatayud, Cortés, Sarr, Rodriguez, Pena, Fritzler, Abel Aguilar, Tiago Gomes, Valdez, Tote, Trezeguet. Barcelona: Valdes, Alves, Piqué, Abidal, Maxwell, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Villa, Messi. Referee: Fernández Borbalán (Andalusian School). Time: 20:00 local time (13:00 of Mexico).
