2 steps far from another Copa final. Barcelona must make a last effort to get the ticket to live another historical day in our favorite domestic tournament. We will face a strange and unusualrival in these stages of the competition: Almeria.

Guardiola can not count with Carles Puyol, still injured in his knee, and Dani Alves, who is recovering from his muscle injury. The rest of the team will be available and, given the last lineups in this competition, it's easy to guess that Pep Guardiola will show up with a very competitive lineup in order to solve this round in the first leg, if it's possible.

Our rival Almeria is not the one we faced not so long ago. Forget about the 0-8. Since they sacked Juanma Lillo, Almeria improved and the results in recent weeks show it. Important victories in Liga and Copa, including the tie vs Real Madrid. As always dinamic and dangerous players in attack, like Kalu Uche or Ulloa, and competitive in defense. It will not be easy and we can never forget that this is the competition of the surprises, where everything can happen. It'll be important not to receive any goal and score as many as possible.

FEM HISTÒRIA!! VISCA EL BARÇA!!

Almeria are in a good moment. They knocked out Mallorca and Deportivo. They are very quick and mobile on the counter. Crusat and Piatti will have a field day against Adriano and Maxwell. I fear a Getafe , if you know what I am saying. Key will be to not concede. Conceding goals at home is a death sentence in two legged ties. Win with clean sheet is the best result , even a 1-0. I prefer a 0-0 to a 2-1 win.

How is so ?

Since the 0-8 since 9 weeks ago they have managed to win 1 game and received 17 goals and managed to win only one away game .

what's so unusual about a team in the relegation zone who dont even care about Copa and have more focuses on not being relegated ?

Good and strong lineup. Bojans shitty performances sit his ass on the bench when 2 years ago these were his games.

Anyhow hope the backline is solid and the FBs are up to the task. The front 6 with their performances thus far, should be solid and end the game in the first half - they are more then capable of it.
