La Liga 2024-2025: Real Valladolid-Barcelona, the probable formations

Real Valladolid and Barcelona close out Saturday’s 34th La Liga fixture. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the José Zorrilla Stadium. The hosts, already arithmetically relegated, will try to take some satisfaction out of this season finale. The Blaugrana, on the other hand, are in the midst of a race to make the hat trick and will try to grab the three points to retain the top spot and arrive in the best possible shape for the Champions League match against Inter.
Rubio should rely on the offensive trident composed of Raul Moro, Juanmi Latasa and Amallah. In the middle of the field, trust Anuar, Juric and Chuki.
Flick, on the other hand, should opt for several changes to the starting 11 also in view of the Champions League return. In attack, chance from 1′ for Pau Victor as center forward, with Ansu Fati, Fermin Lopez and Pablo Torre as trequartisti. In defense, protecting the returning Ter Stegen, there will be Araujo and Christensen, with Fort and Martin as full-backs.
Probable lineups
REAL VALLADOLID (4-3-3): Ferreira; Luis Perez, Cumart, Diego Torres, Aznou; Anuar, Juric, Chuki; Amallah, Juanmi Latasa, Raul Moro. Coach: Rubio
BARCELONA (4-2-3-1): Ter Stegen; Fort, Araujo, Christensen, Martin; Gavi, Eric Garcia; Pablo Torre, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati; Pau Victor. Coach: Flick

Premier League 2024-2025: Crystal Palace-Nottingham Forest, the likely lineups
The thirty-fourth day of the Premier League will experience its conclusion on Monday, May 5, with the match scheduled at 9 p.m. Italian time between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park, home of the Eagles. The hosts will be looking to keep their sights high ahead of the May 17 FA Cup final against Manchester City, while the Reds want to win to queue up for the top five train, those that will guarantee access to the next Champions League.
Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace’s coach, will most likely go for a scheme with three defenders, four in-line midfielders, two trequartisti and a central striker. The pivot role of the attack will be given to Mateta, a goal and an assist in the last two outings, behind him will be Sarr and Eze. On the flanks likely the use of Muñoz on the right and Mitchell on the left.
On the other side Nuno Espirito Santo is aiming to take back the reins of a team that seems to have stalled in the last month: in fact, since April 5, four defeats have come between the league and FA Cup, compared to only one success. In particular, the Portuguese coach wants to regain Wood’s offensive streak, which seems to have died down a bit in recent outings.
Probable lineups:
CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta. All. Glasner.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Danilo; Wood. All. Espirito Santo.

La Liga 2024-2025: Girona-Maiorca, the probable formations
A year ago this time Girona was sailing safely toward a historic Champions League qualification: this year, however, the Catalans are struggling for salvation and need to win to distance themselves from the relegation zone. It won’t be an easy task, however, because in front of the Red and White on Monday night is a Mallorca side eager to continue the European dream, since a success would allow the Pirates to move up to seventh place, useful for going to the Europa League.
To try to move up to +6 over third-place Las Palmas, and to find a success that has been missing since Feb. 3, Girona coach Michel will line up his team with a 3-4-3 with a distinct offensive vocation, with Stuani as a central point flanked by Tsygankov on the right and Portu on the left. A three-man defense with Lopez, Krejci and Blind, in midfield space for Arthur Melo and Herrera.
On the other side, Jagoba Arrasate will rely on a shrewd 5-3-2, with Maffeo and Mojica on the flanks and the attacking pair formed by Larin and Daniel Rodriguez. A three-man midfield, with Samu Costa acting as a central link. Valery and Abdon Prats are unavailable in attack, and midfielder Manu Morlanes is also out due to injury.
Probable lineups:
GIRONA (3-4-3): Gazzaniga; Lopez, Krejci, Blind; Martinez, Arthur Melo, Herrera, Gutierrez; Tsygankov, Stuani, Portu. All. Michel.
MAIORCA (5-3-2): Greif; Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Copete, Mojica; Mascarell, Samu Costa, Darder; Larin, Rodriguez. All. Arrasate.
