Cádiz vs Barcelona

Barcelona look to continue their blistering start to the season as they travel to the southern tip of Spain to take on struggling Cadiz at Estadio Nuevo ...

They appear to have settled following the fast start by Cadiz and are now taking a grip of the ball in the centre of the pitch. 90 mins to KO: Barcelona come into this match on the back of a 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League. Here, though, Barcelona have made a number of changes with the Champions League match against Bayern Munich looming next week. The Blaugrana have turned things around in a big way since then, and the squad will be thirsting for revenge after a string of negative results against the Yellow Submarine. 15 mins to KO: A win for Barcelona against Cadiz would take them to the top of the La Liga table on 13 points from five fixtures. Lucas Perez has been selected over Alvaro Negredo and Choco Lozano to lead the line for the home team. 30 mins to KO: Xavi needed a right back after the departure of Sergino Dest on loan to AC Milan and Bellerin arrived to fill that gap. Is this the beginning of a title race in Spain this season? — The Dutch midfielder is very press-resistant and has seen plenty of the ball in the opening 25 minutes. The Dutch midfielder is the one charged with picking up possession in deep areas of the pitch and driving it forward. Barcelona will be motivated to produce a quality result, having failed to beat Cadiz in each of their last four meetings.

On paper, it is crystal clear who the favourites are but as the stats suggest, Cadiz has indeed been Barca’s bogey team over the past seasons. Barcelona’s impressive start to the season continues as it remains unbeaten in La Liga. Raphinha aims for the near-post and shoots but the ball hits the inside of the post and comes back into play. Barcelona has not lost any of its four La Liga games. Good run from Gavi which ultimately ends with an attempted cross from the right. The shot, however, is not on target.

Cádiz host Barça on matchday 5 of LaLiga, with kick-off at 12:30 p.m. ET at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (6.30 p.m. local time). Follow all the action here.

Apparently Cádiz are going for four minutes of watering, from 10 minutes before the game starts to six minutes before. He's quickly closed down right on the line and when the ball comes out of the stramash back to Memphis whose final effort goes into the hands of Ledesma. He's also not afraid of getting involved in politics, he encouraged youngsters to vote in the 2019 General Election in the UK with The initial frenzied pace from the home side has blown over and Cádiz are still keen to go forward, but rather more cautiously. this one is out on the right and close enough for Lucas to swing it into the box. He gets a peachy curl on the ball, but it's about 3% too strong and clears everyone to bounce handily into Ter Stegen's waiting hands. Cádiz have not only kept Barcelona at bay, they made a few chances of their own and have gone toe-to-tow with their illustrious rivals all over the pitch. Memphis at the back post has to score! Nothing comes from it, and Alejo ends up charging up on the break. Most of the footballers are in the centre circle, waiting and watching to see how things develop. Teams off to grab their water bottles and get their coaches' thoughts on the game. Ledesma forced to palm the ball away from Gavi's shot after a great run and De Jong snaffles that one like there's no tomorrow.

Cadiz have yet to score a single league goal through four league matches, and it's not like they've been unlucky. So far this season, in 360 minutes of league action, they've produced 32 shots, totaling just 1.80 expected goals, with just a single shot from inside the six-yard box. Therefore, it will be interesting to see who takes the field on Saturday against the league's bottom side, with a key Champions League group match against Bayern Munich looming Tuesday in Germany. Cadiz manager Sergio Gonzalez only took over the club back in January, and while he barely steered the club to safety last season, the new campaign has a nervous feel to it already. At left-back, young Alex Balde has split time with Jordi Alba of late, and with the latter starting in the Champions League match. Balde could return to action in league play. Two seasons ago, the league results between these two teams also resulted in a loss and a draw for Barcelona. Sergio Busquets was the main player rested for the midweek European opener, with Raphinha and Gavi also seeing the bench. Sat, Sept. He tried starting Lozano by himself last time out, but that also failed to produce results, collecting just seven shots worth 0.27 expected goals against Celta Vigo. After an opening day scoreless draw against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona have trounced La Liga competition, topping Real Sociedad, Real Valladolid, and Sevilla by a combined 11-1. The club barely survived the drop last season, finishing 17th, just a point above relegated Granada.
