Barbastro vs Barcelona live preview Copa del Rey

Unión Deportiva Barbastro
Barcelona
Match Stats

Barbastro:

Barbastro caused a shock in the last round of the Copa del Rey, as they recorded a 1-0 victory over La Liga outfit Almeria, with Franc Carbonell netting the only goal of the contest in the 28th minute.

This is already their best performance in the Copa del Rey in their 90-year history, and Sunday's fixture will be a historic affair for all involved with the football club.

Barbastro are the overwhelming underdogs, but they will enter the game in strong form, winning four of their last five matches in all competitions, remaining unbeaten in the process.

Dani Martinez's side were 1-0 winners over Real Sociedad's third team in their last match on December 16, with the result leaving them in ninth position in Group 2 of the Segunda Division RFEF table.


Barcelona:

The Blaugrana are unbeaten in their last three games, recording two wins on the spin. Interestingly, they have just one win in their last five away games. They did register a 2-1 away win over Las Palmas in La Liga on Thursday and will look to build on that form here.

Barça come into this one as massive favorites and having had a favorable draw as one of the four Spanish Super Cup teams, who per the rules are guaranteed to face one of the four lowest-ranked sides left in the Copa del Rey field They

Blaugrana are the most successful side in the history of the Copa del Rey, winning the competition 31 times, which is eight more than Athletic Bilbao, who are second in the rankings.


Analysis:

Barça’s previous experiences of early Copa del Rey rounds have always followed a similar script: a tough start against a team giving their all, but eventually the better side takes over and wins with some comfort. Even without the team in flying form at the moment, I expect more of the same in this one: 3-0 Barça, and a spot in the next round confirmed without much fuss.
