Copa Del Rey Preview: Benidorm - Barça
Monday, 27 October 08, 08:33 AM · Comments (8)
Pep Guardiola has rested Valdés, Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Messi and Márquez for tomorrow night's Copa del Rey 1st leg game at Benidorm, while there is a place in the squad for 22-year old striker Manuel Agudo Duran, who is known in football as Nolito, and 23-year-old Abraham Gonzalez who can play in midfield or at full back.
Barça should have no problem with Benidorm who are in 13th place in group 3 of the second division B, though there is no such thing as a sure win in football. At the weekend Benidorm won 0-1 away to Sabadell.
Expect Guardiola to experiment in this game, even if things go wrong we still have the return leg at Camp Nou to put things right.
Barça's squad for the game: Pinto, Jorquera, Alves, Piqué, Cáceres, Sylvinho, Abidal, Touré, Abraham, Sergio Busquets, Víctor Sánchez, Hleb, Nolito, Bojan, Eto'o, Henry.
Possible lineup: Pinto; Abraham, Victor Sanchez, Pique, Sylvinho; Busquets, Toure, Hleb; Bojan, Eto'o, Henry.
My Prediction: Benidorm 0 Barça 3

Benidorm won't be able to handle a side of this much quality.
Hi guy i like to be one of the fan for the biggect club in the world that is barca what can i do pls
Benidorm 0 - 4 Barcelona
but this one is hard to predict.. the number of barca's goals will of course depend on our starting line up - and on how many minutes Etoo will be given by Pep.
and @ kola: check out fcbarcelona.cat - go to fan zone. it's really expensive, but go for it! 
I just hope to see some flair to be honest and hope all the players enjoy themselves. To be honest I think Pep should have rested Eto and Henry completely as they are the ones who play 90min international's and the ones used the most and those two without Xavi and Iniesta are just going to run around and get tired for no reason. Let Bojan and Hleb and the others get a full game and if things dont go well then the normal 11 can sort it at the Nou Camp.
