It was an important victory for Cadiz, who had failed to win any of their previous 4 league games this season. They started with a 1-1 draw at home against Levante and followed that with another point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Real Betis, the latter of which was a good result.
However, two defeats followed for Cadiz, losing 3-2 at home against Osasuna and 2-0 at home against Real Sociedad.
Including matches from last season, trends show Cadiz have managed just 1 win in their last 8 La Liga games. They have been struggling defensively and Cadiz have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 9 league matches, including each of their last 6 at home.
Barcelona make the trip to the Estadio Ramón de Carranza having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Granada on Monday night. It was a disappointing result and performance for Barcelona against a team they were expected to beat, especially on their own turf.
Granada took the lead in just the 2nd minute of the game and it appeared as though they were going to cause an upset and take maximum points but Barcelona found the equaliser in the 90th minute.
That result means Barcelona remain undefeated in the league this season, winning 2 and drawing 2 of their 4 matches.
Trends show Barcelona have not been beaten in their last 6 straight away clashes in all competitions and have scored at least one goal in each of their last 16 away La Liga fixtures.
Looking ahead to the team news and Cadiz are expected to be without three players as Alberto Perea, José Mari, and Jon Ander Garrido are on the treatment table.
Barcelona have injury problems of their own and several players will be unavailable for this match. Álex Balde, Pedri, Jordi Alba, Martin Braithwaite, Moussa Wagué, Ansu Fati, Sergio Agüero, and Ousmane Dembélé are currently injured.
Cadiz will look at the list of absentees for Barcelona and see this as an opportunity to beat to the giants. However, Barcelona still have plenty of talent available and should score the goals to win the match.
Expect to see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals, with an away win.
