Barbastro vs Barcelona Betting Tips: AH2 -1.5

Despite recent struggles in various competitions, forcing them to fight hard for wins, Xavi’s team, Blaugrana, should easily defeat an opponent three levels below them, securing victory well before the match ends. Barbastro, despite being the underdogs, are brimming with confidence as they prepare to host the Catalan giants. They are on a five-match undefeated streak, managing to keep a clean sheet throughout. The fourth-tier team has won four times during this streak. One of these wins was against LaLiga’s Almeria, whom they defeated 1-0 in the Copa del Rey. They hope to pull off a historic upset this weekend.

Even if visiting coach Xavi decides to change his starting squad, it’s difficult to anticipate anything other than a standard win for the Catalans. They’ll use this match as a warm-up before their semi-final encounter with Osasuna in the Spanish Super Cup. Despite being a cup competition, the Blaugrana’s head coach will insist his team take this Sunday’s match seriously, with the aim of regaining confidence and certainty, while also starting the Copa del Rey campaign on a positive note. The gap between these teams is significant, and we’re betting on Barcelona, demonstrating this on the field with a decisive and confident victory, setting them up for progression to the national cup’s quarter-finals.
