La Liga strugglers Cadiz will be looking to pull off a major upset when they host high-flying Barcelona this weekend.
Cadiz are currently in a relegation battle, but they’ve been in decent form lately, winning two of their last five games and keeping clean sheets in both. They’ll be hoping to continue that form at home, where they’ve won their last two league games without conceding.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in much better shape. They’ve just won five games in a row in all competitions, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over PSG in the Champions League. However, they are eight points behind Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, and they might prioritize the Champions League over this match.
Despite their recent struggles away from home, Barcelona will be confident of extending their nine-game unbeaten run in La Liga. They’ve kept five clean sheets in a row, but they haven’t managed a shutout on the road in 14 of their last 16 away games.
Key Players
- Juanmi (Cadiz): Has scored two goals in previous 1-0 wins against Barcelona.
- Ferran Torres (Barcelona): Has scored six of his last seven league goals in the second half, including the winner in the reverse fixture.
Will Cadiz pull off a shock win and boost their survival hopes? Or will Barcelona cruise to victory and continue their unbeaten run?
Interesting Stat: Barcelona have seen a whopping seven red cards in their last 14 away league games! This could be a chance for Cadiz to exploit any defensive lapses caused by potential sending-offs.
