JAKARTA - Barcelona will try to make their sixth consecutive win in all competitions while continuing their La Liga campaign against Cadiz who are in danger of relegation on Saturday night or Sunday morning 14 April WIB.

Xavi Hernandez's side will enter this match after winning 3-2 over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Meanwhile Cadiz beat Granada 1-0 in La Liga in their last game.

But Cadiz had a very bad record. They failed to win in La Liga between September 1 and March 9, where the team seems to be re-degrading to the Segunda Division again. But six points from the last nine points available have raised their spirits to get out of the relegation zone.

Mauricio Pellegrino's side have beaten Atletico Madrid and Granada at home before losing 0-2 to Real Sociedad, while they have lost only one of the last five matches in the highest caste of Spanish football.

Although still in the relegation zone, Cadiz is now only three points behind Celta Vigo who is in 17th place, and there are still many games to play before the end of the season.

Cadiz will be the non-favorite side this weekend, but they have won two of their last seven games against Barcelona, and the hosts will certainly be a fresher team than both teams, having not played since their 1-0 win over Granada on March 29.

El Submarine Amario has been in four consecutive seasons at this level, which has been their best since the early 1990s, and would be a great feat if they could avoid relegation given their difficulties this season.

Barcelona have recorded a 3-2 win over PSG in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in Paris, where the Catalan team is in a strong position to reach the semifinals of the competition.

The La Liga champions have been unbeaten in all competitions since late January, while they have won in their last five games, with three of them taking place in the league, including a 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in their last away game in the highest caste of Spanish football.

Barcelona are currently in second place on the table, eight points adrift of Real Madrid leaders, who could open up 11 points when they travel to Mallorca on Saturday, April 13, but Los Blancos will also notice the second leg of their Champions League quarter-finals against Manchester City.

Tim Xavi akan menghadapi Real Madrid dalam El Clasico pada 21 April, jadi kemenangan di sini sangat penting jika mereka ingin membajukan gelar juara menuju akhir musim.

Barcelona still hopes Xavi will decide not to step down as head coach this summer, and the team is still in the hunt for two major trophies despite the problems they face this season.

Barcelona have their second best away performance in La Liga this season, collecting 30 points from 14 games, remaining unbeaten in the process, but Cadiz suffered only four home defeats in the league in the 2023-24 season.

Player Composition Forecast:

Cadiz: Ledesma; Carcelen, Chust, Fali, J Hernandez; Navarro, Alcaraz, Alex, Sobrino; Ramos, Juanmi

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Fort; Fermin, Roberto, De Jong; Raphinha, F Torres, Felix
