LaLiga 2022-23: Barcelona vs Cadiz: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

Barcelona welcome Cadiz in the LaLiga game on Sunday night

With Barcelona aiming for their seventh straight league victory and commanding the race for the trophy, they must be feeling confident going into Sunday's match. There are no suspended players on the home squad, but Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembele are both out due to injuries.

Cadiz FC, on the other hand, gained three crucial points from the match against Girona but given their struggles away from home, anything other than a straightforward home victory would be a significant shock. Alvaro Negredo, Jose Mari, Victor Chust, and Joseba Zaldua are the only members of the visiting side who are still in the recovery room. Another reason we are betting on the league leaders is that Barcelona defeated Cadiz 4-0 in the first half of the season.

Kick-off:

Sunday, 19-02-2023; 8 pm GMTMonday, 20-02-2023; 1:30 am IST

Players to watch

Barcelona: Frenkie de Jong

Earlier this year, Barcelona wanted to get rid of the Dutch player, but now he has become an integral part of the club, and now Xavi believes he is not for sale, which suggests how the midfielder has convinced the manager and other staff with his performance.

Cadiz: Carlos Alcaraz

Alcaraz has been an indispensable part of Cadiz from the middle of the pitch. He has been a key part of Cadiz’s ball distribution and has helped maintain the flow of the game. The midfielder has started in 16 games for Cadiz and will be a key player for the club.

Players and injury news

Just Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembele are injured; thus, Barcelona doesn't have many problems with injuries.

Jon Ander Garrido's absence from the game means that Cadzi are likewise free of any injury concerns.
