Linares welcomes Barcelona to the Estadio Municipal de Linarejos for this 3rd round match in the Copa del Rey. The hosts are currently plying their trade in the third tier of Spanish football. They are in 14th place in the RFEF Primera League with 22 points. Barcelona are in 5th position with 31 points in La Liga. Linares are unbeaten in their last six home matches and last lost at home in October. They are enjoying a great Cup run and caused a major upset in the last round when they beat La Liga side Alaves 2-1. They will hope to continue their giant killing run when they face the mighty Barcelona. Linares could not have hoped for a better time to meet the Spanish giants as they are having one of their worst seasons in recent years.
Barcelona are going through a transformation phase after the departure of Lionel Messi but seem to be finding some form as they drew and won their last two away matches in La Liga. They are unbeaten in their last four league matches. They are up to fifth spot on the table but have no realistic chance of challenging for the title as they are 15 points behind leaders Real Madrid although they do have a game in hand. They will be looking for their record extending 32nd win in this tournament. They have a good away record as they have only lost once in their last eight away matches with that defeat coming against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Our CD Linares vs Barcelona Prediction
Linares will not be overawed by the occasion as they beat a La Liga outfit in the last round. Barcelona must avoid being complacent in this match and given their recent resurgence in form they should beat the team that is two tiers below them in the Spanish league hierarchy. We are backing Barcelona for a comfortable win with over 2.5 goals being scored.
