Barcelona’s 11 game winning run across all competitions came to an end on Thursday after being held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester United at Camp Nou in the first leg of their Europa League playoff tie. Blaugrana took the lead through Marcos Alonso’s 50th-minute header, but were forced to come from behind late on, with Raphinha’s long-range effort after Marcos Rashford’s strike and Jules Kounde’s own goal had sent the visitors to a 2-1 lead. Prior to that, Xavi’s side edged past Villarreal at El Madrigal, thanks to Pedri’s lone goal inside the opening 18 minutes. It was their 18th league-win of the season.
Cadiz, on the other hand, defeated Girona last Saturday, courtesy of first-half efforts from Gonzalo Escalante and Sergio Navarro. It was the Yellow Submarine’s fifth league-win of the season. Sergo Gonzalez’s side have been either close to or in the drop zone for much of the campaign. Meanwhile, the Andalusian outfit have only picked up eight points from their 10 away games in the top flight this season.
Surprisingly, Barcelona have beaten Cadiz only once in the last five meetings. The lone victory during that period came in the reverse fixture this season, when Barca netted four times without reply at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, courtesy of second half efforts from Frenkie de Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele. Meanwhile, last season, the Yellow Submarine secured a narrow 1-0 win at Camp Nou, thanks to Lucas Perez’s second half strike. Sunday’s fixture will be the 30 encounter between these two sides and Barca have a clear advantage in the head-to-head record, having won 20 times against the Yellow Submarine.
