Barbastro vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2025

Barbastro will host Barcelona at the Campo Municipal de Deportes on Saturday in the last 32 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The fourth-tier side enjoyed a strong finish to 2024 after a difficult run of form in November and are set to begin the new year with a clash against one of Europe's powerhouses.

They kicked off their Copa del Rey campaign with a 4-0 demolition of third-tier outfit Amorebieta featuring second-half braces from Adria de Mesa and Sito Barrera. They then locked horns with Espanyol in the next round of the cup, with Barrera once again coming up clutch with a second-half double.

Barcelona, meanwhile, ended 2024 on a disappointing note, suffering back-to-back home defeats to Leganes and Atletico Madrid in their final games of the year. The domestic cup, however, presents the perfect opportunity for Hansi Flick's men to get their campaign back on track in the new year.

The record champions kicked off their cup campaign last season on this same ground as they were made to work hard for a 3-2 victory over Barbastro and will be looking to put out a much better performance this time around.

Barbastro vs Barcelona Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Saturday's game will mark just the second meeting between the two teams following their maiden matchup a year ago.
Four of Barbastro's five league wins this season have come on home turf.
Barcelona are the highest-scoring side in the Spanish top flight this season with a goal tally of 51.
The Blaugrana have won all of their Copa del Rey openers since the 2004-05 season.
Hansi Flick's men (23) have picked up the most points on the road in La Liga this season.

Barbastro vs Barcelona Prediction

Barbastro have won three of their last four games after losing five on the bounce. They performed commendably in their previous matchup against the Spanish giants and will be looking to hit similar heights on Saturday.

Barcelona are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just two of their last six matches. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should, however, see the visitors win this one easily.

Prediction: Barbastro 0-4 Barcelona
