UD Salamanca vs FC Barcelona Prediction 18 January 2024
Added on 16 January, 2024
The Copa del Rey round of 16 match between Salamanca and Barcelona is scheduled for next Thursday!
Salamanca represent the third strongest division in the country, where after nineteen games they occupy thirteenth position with 25 points and a modest goal difference of 13:16. We would like to note that in the national Cup this team in turn passed the hurdles of Guernica (2:0), Sporting Gijon (2:0) and Villarreal (2:1).
Given Barcelona's higher status, they made their debut in the Cup only in the round of 32, beating Barbastro 3:2 with some problems. In addition, the Blaugrana suffered a deafening 1:4 fiasco from Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, and in La Liga they only hold fourth place in the standings.
We wouldn’t be surprised if even Salamanca, with the active support of their home crowd, become a serious test for Barcelona. Plus, in the end, the Catalans will still make it to another stage, but it certainly won’t be easy for them.
