AD Ceuta vs Barcelona – AD Ceuta defeated La Liga team Elche 1-0 to earn a prestigious Copa del Rey round of 16 matchup against Catalan powerhouse Barcelona.
So, locals who go to Estadio Municipal Alfonso Murube on Thursday night will be able to take advantage of the chance to see Barcelona’s players play in their city.
So, the hosts’ bad season in Spain’s third division of football will be quickly forgotten. In the first 19 rounds of the competition, AD Ceuta lost 15 times, which put them at the bottom of the Segunda B Division (Group 1) standings.
The fact that they have given up 36 goals in 19 games in Spain’s third division speaks much about the team’s caliber. In their previous four league games, AD Ceuta gave up two goals, including the weekend’s scoreless draw with Real Madrid II.
The club led by Jose Juan Romero is the clear underdog in this matchup against Barcelona, who will enter the game in high spirits after defeating fierce rivals Real Madrid 3-1 in the Super Cup final on Sunday.
Thus, Xavi’s team has amassed four straight victories across all competitions despite going up against teams like Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, and Real Madrid. In their most recent two Super Cup victories on Saudi soil, Blaugrana scored five goals.
Without a doubt, Xavi will change up his lineup for this game, especially with the league matchup against Getafe in mind (at the weekend). We don’t think these rotations will change the game, though, because Ceuta isn’t a very good team.
AD Ceuta vs Barcelona – Betting Analysis
In the past, there was no opportunity for these two teams to meet. These two teams have a huge quality gap, and this isn’t simply a catchphrase.
How many goals Barcelona will score in a resounding victory is the only open question. At the astronomical 5.50 odds, you can wager on Barcelona to have at least a three-goal lead at the interval.
As an alternative, Thursday’s odds favor the Blaugrana winning 5-0. Barcelona will likely control the ball in this game and be rewarded with good opportunities.
Contrarily, Ceuta will have a difficult time scoring goals, although we do believe that they have a good chance of doing so at least once.
What are the top odds for this match?
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view is of this game in the full-time result market, the win for Ceuta can be had for 30, a bet on the draw is 10 and putting your money on a win for Barcelona will get you 1.09. These are the best returns on offer at this very moment.
