Barbastro vs Barcelona: Spanish Cup Match Prediction

A high-scoring game is expected in the upcoming Copa del Rey clash between Barbastro and Barcelona. Barcelona will be looking for a comfortable win after a poor run of form in La Liga, and the encounter with a fourth-tier opponent is an ideal opportunity for Hansi Flick side to regain their confidence.

Barcelona have also historically been strong in Copa del Rey matches against underdogs, scoring at least three goals in eight of their last ten encounters. Barbastro, despite being the clear underdogs, could contribute to the overall performance given their confident 2-0 win over Espanyol in the last round. The likely scenario is a dominant away side with a high number of goals.

Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.70

Bet on the outcome

In the upcoming Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, Catalan Barcelona is clearly the clear favorite. Despite recent failures in the championship, the difference in class and depth of the squad is too great to imagine any result other than a confident victory for the visitors. Hansi Flick men are looking to rehabilitate themselves after their defeats in La Liga and will probably try to remove any doubts about the winner in the first half. Given that Barcelona has a habit of crushing opponents from lower divisions in the Cup, as well as the motivation to show their strength, a bet on their victory with a difference of three or more goals looks justified.

Forecast - Asian handicap (-2.5) for Barcelona at odds of 1.85
