Cádiz - Barcelona predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Cádiz winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Barcelona, which is made quite clear with the 4.75 odds offered for a home win result.

If everything goes according to plan and Blaugrana put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The hosts won their previous La Liga home game, pulling ahead with a 1-goal lead in the second half. Most betting odds were in their favour before kick-off, of course, so the victory was hardly surprising.

The visitors are coming off from a slightly underwhelming result in the previous round of the La Liga. They did beat Las Palmas, but struggled to get their foot in front during the first half and ended up grabbing three points thanks to a slim, one-goal margin (1:0).

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Cádiz.

Cádiz will need another 0 points to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the La Liga.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Barca victory from the previous La Liga season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Fede, Luis Hernández, Maximiliano Gómez, Rominigue Kouame are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Frenkie de Jong, P. Paez Gaviria, Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Balde Martínez, Pedri will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Blaugrana, though.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.85 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
