Barcelona vs Cadiz Prediction: Barcelona will get a very confident and dry victory

The second match of Sunday's pool of the second round of the Spanish La Liga will be a duel between Barcelona and Cadiz. The teams have had different starts to the season, with the champion failing in the Madrid suburbs, while southern Cadiz minimally beat Alaves and picked up their first three points of the season.

Barcelona

Before the start of the season, Barcelona won three friendlies against Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Tottenham. Given these results, it was a surprising draw against Getafe in the first round of the Spanish La Liga. Partly this result was possible due to the removal of Rafinha in the 42nd minute of the game. It should be noted that before the direct red card, Rafinha received a yellow card. Even in the minority, Barcelona had chances to win, possessed the ball 75% of the game time, and shot 14 times in the direction of the goal. However, only four times hit the target.

Cadiz

As the match of the first round against Alaves showed, Cadiz has prepared well for the season. The Southerners scored a quick goal, and already in the seventh minute, San Emeterio managed to distinguish himself with a pass from Hernandez. But most importantly, Cadiz gave the Basques almost nothing to create. During the game, Alaves only scored 0.27 on the xG index, so zero goals conceded is a plus for the South. Another thing is that Cádiz has to play not with a newcomer to the elite but with the real champion.

Expert Betting Tips

The result of the first match of La Liga 2023/24 against Getafe could hardly satisfy anyone in the Catalans, and this result was possible because of the suspension of Rafinha. In the home match, the Catalans will try to avoid the mistakes of the first-round match, and Cadiz is not a top club; besides, playing away is weaker than at home. In the second round of La Liga, we believe that Barcelona will achieve a very confident and dry victory over the opponent.
