Barcelona’s La Liga woes will take a back seat when they travel to Barbastro UD for a Round of 32 Copa del Rey clash. Going into this game, hosts Barbastro will hope to carry their recent form. They are unbeaten in five matches, and in all, they kept clean sheets. Barbastro have failed to score in just one of their last five matches, a 0-0 draw with Tudelano. In their first ever meeting with Barcelona, Barbastro will be seeking a fourth straight win. They are coming from a 1-0 away win at Real Sociedad III. In the last round of the Copa del Rey, Barbastro eliminated a La Liga side, Almeria, and will be hoping for the same here. However, this will prove to be a stiffer competition for them. This is their first season in the Copa del Rey since participating last in 2006, and they are targeting a third straight win.
Barcelona survived a big scare in their last outing in La Liga and will hope for an easier outing here. Playing away to Las Palmas, Barca needed a stoppage time penalty goal to complete their comeback. They beat their hosts 2-1 for their second straight win. Things haven't been smooth for Barcelona coming into this game. They haven't managed a clean sheet in the last five matches, both teams scoring in those games. The visitors have fallen short in defence over and over in their recent matches. Coming into this one, they have just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. They have conceded more than a goal in three of their last five matches too.
