Second game of the week at the Spotify Camp Nou! After the draw against Manchester United in the Europa League, it is time to focus again on the domestic competition. The opponent will be Cadizwhich has come out of relegation positions in recent weeks and which shows a great improvement after the World Cup break.
It won’t be easy, far from it, since Barça haven’t beaten Cádiz at the Stadium since 2006. That night, the Catalans took victory with a single goal from Ronaldinho. And since the Andalusians have gone up to the First Division again, the precedents are not favorable to Barça. Of the last five games, two defeats, two draws and a single victory, which was achieved this September by 0-4 at Nuevo Mirandilla.
As a curious fact, Barça is five goals away from reaching 3,000 at home in the League. This Sunday, February 19, the culers have the first opportunity to face Cádiz.
A rival in positive dynamics
In addition to the precedents, which we have already seen favorable to the Andalusians, we must add the good dynamics to which Sergio González’s team arrives. Before the World Cup, the Cadistas were in the relegation zone with only two victories in 15 games, and even being eliminated in the first round of the Copa del Rey against Real Unión de Primera RFEF. However, in recent months this bad dynamic has completely changed. The seven games after the World Cup strike translate into three wins, two draws and two losses.
After these good results, the people from Cádiz are in sixteenth place in the League, two points above relegation, which Valencia marks with 20 points. In addition, for the match against Barça they will not have any casualties and will be able to count on all their players.
