For the Barcelona vs Cadiz prediction, we say Barcelona to win and over 2.5 goals and this is why. Both teams met twice last season and Barcelona won 4-0 away from home before winning 2-0 in the return leg. However, it’s a fresh season and having gone blank last weekend, the Catalans will be eager to display their attacking prowess, which would be too much for Cadiz to handle.
We predict Barcelona to win first half against Cadiz and this is why. The Catalans won 2-0 in the first half in their last La Liga encounter and we expect the same utter dominance over the visitors this weekend.
Barcelona were completely frustrated with how they started their new season last weekend. They were forced to settle in a drab goalless draw at Getafe, with two red cards to Raphinha and Xavi Hernandez. They will look to put their underwhelming start to the season behind them when they host Cadiz on Sunday and tend to do that without the Brazilian forward.
Cadiz started their new campaign with a tight 1-0 win over Alaves at home. They were forced to finish the remainder of the game with ten men after Gonzalo Escalante was sent off late in the game. El Submarino Amarillo will hope to avoid a defeat at the Spotify Cam Nou Stadium this weekend but the quality in their squad obviously screams the opposite, plus they will be without a key player in Gonzalo Escalante.
Predicted starting lineup
Barcelona: Ter Stegan, Balde, Christensen, Kounde, Araujo, Romeu, De Jong, Gundogan, Pedri, Gavi, Lewandowski
Cadiz: Ledesma, Carcelen, Hernandez, Fali, Hernandez, Alejo, Fede, Alcarez, Machis, Ramos, Roger
