LaLiga – Match-day 32 Sees Barcelona take on Cádiz
Barca at home against Cádiz – Monday – 9:00pm GMT – The Nou Camp.
Cádiz, currently sitting in eighteenth place, face the formidable task of an away trip to Barca, who currently sit second in the League.
Barcelona go into this fixture with 60 points secured
Xavi will hope that success brings further success, as his side look for another win in a row. Their last two outings resulted in victories against Levante and Seville.
Also, Barca keep finding ways to win, having secured nine victories in their last 10 matches is astonishing this season, which is responsible for their Champion’s League qualification position. With a second position in the league and 17 wins, 4 losses and 9 draws, they currently have 60 points in the League having won 17 fixtures, drawn nine meetings, and lost four games.
Cádiz travel to Barca, knowing that they have nothing to lose. The odds are not in their favour, as the home team has recorded 10 wins, two darts, and two losses in the 14 home matches they’ve played so far this season.
Barcelona will have 63 points if they manage to secure a victory.
Good Attacking Performance
Barca have a good scoring record this season, with 60 netted so far (58 from open play and two penalties). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (7), Pedri (4), and Ferran Torres (4). Barca have conceded 31 goals.
Barca’s squad has depth, but even so, Xavi is likely to be missing six of they key players when they start Monday’s game.
Sergio’s Cádiz, away to Barcelona on Monday, hoping to improve relegation prospects
This match gives Sergio’s Cádiz 90 minutes to get their season back on track. Their last outing resulted in a 1-2 loss to Real Betis, with a 0-0 draw against Valencia before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.
Also, Cádiz’s success this season will ultimately depend on their ability to break the habit of not winning, as gaditano failed to secure a win in 15 of their last 18 matches. Now they have 5 matches won, 13 games lost and 13 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in eighteenth place, with a total of 28 points having won five fixtures, drawn 13 games, and lost 13 meetings.
It must be a worrying prospect for Cádiz to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured three victories, five draws, and seven defeats to the home team.
Cádiz will have 31 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
Cádiz’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Sergio, ahead of this Monday’s fixture against their opponents.
