Barcelona made the logical decision to rest their starters in the first leg against Hercules, with the Clasico against Real Madrid looming large. However, the Catalans almost suffered an embarrassing defeat, with debutant Carles Alena salvaging a draw.

David Mainz had opened the scoring for the hosts after a first half in which Barcelona's backups barely created anything, and despite a ton of late pressure, the Blaugrana failed to add a second goal.

Wednesday's match should be different, though. While manager Luis Enrique will likely call on a number of bench players again, the second leg is Barcelona's final outing before the winter break―several top stars will play, with plenty of time to recover for the second half of the season coming up.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar won't be helping out, however. Per the club's official Twitter account, manager Luis Enrique has confirmed the three are already on holiday:

Instead, the likes of Arda Turan, Denis Suarez and Rafinha are expected to feature from the start, and even star midfielder Andres Iniesta could be a part of the squad.

The Spain international has only recently returned from injury and could use the minutes to get back to peak form. Barcelona missed their star playmaker, and they've performed much better since his return.

Per the club's official Twitter account, he trained with the group on Monday:

Iniesta might start on the bench and come on should the Blaugrana struggle to break down the Hercules defence, but a spot in the starting XI isn't out of the question.

Hercules are expected to come out with a defensive setup and rely on the likes of Jose Gaspar to pull out a miracle. It worked in the first leg, although an outing at the intimidating Camp Nou can hardly be compared with what transpired in Alicante.

The second leg presents Paco Alcacer with a final opportunity in 2016 to impress and justify his summer transfer move. The former Valencia man has been a major disappointment so far and has yet to score his first goal for his new club―he won't get many better chances than this.

Hercules' showing in the first leg made for a nice story, but unless things go drastically wrong for Enrique and Barcelona, the upset should be avoided on Wednesday.

Final prediction: Barcelona 5-1 Hercules
