Sport.ua together with the La Liga betting partner betting announces the upcoming match!

Guadalajara

The Spanish club is not as successful as the team of the same name from Mexico. In its entire history, Gadalajara has never played in the elite division, and spent only two seasons in Segundo. Given the history of the club, the match against Barca is a big event that will cause quite a stir among the fans.

Guadalajara currently plays in the third strongest division, where it plays poorly, occupying the 17th step, which is the relegation zone. In the last round, the team lost to Real Madrid 1:3 away from home. The club has only one victory in 12 extreme matches of the championship. The fight for survival is ahead, only one point behind the saving 15th place.

Barcelona

You can not talk about Barca, the team is always in sight, every success or failure is actively discussed by fans. Under the leadership of Hansi Flick, the Catalans try to show attacking football, the high line of defense looks adventurous, strong opponents sometimes use this. In La Liga, the club is doing well, first place and 4 points ahead of Real. The team won its last match at home against Osasuna – 2:0, Rafinha scored a double.

Not everything is smooth in the Champions League, where Barca is only in the 15th place, it is the playoff zone, but ideally we should fight for the top 8, to which two points, the calendar is not complicated, Slavia is away and Copenhagen is at home. The Catalans have no right to sacrifice the national cup, and the future opponent certainly does not look dangerous. Many bench players will get their chance, and the stars will most likely be rested.

Forecast

Statistics show that the teams have never played against each other before. Of course, Barca is a big favorite in the upcoming battle, although it is worth understanding that the Catalans do not make sense to play as a base.

The rotation of the lineup is suggested here, because the outsider of the third division certainly does not look formidable. I think Hansi Flick will give a chance to many reserves, and this is a chance for the hosts. Ideally, we should wait for the composition of the guests, but first I would bet on the exchange of goals at 2.1.
