Cadiz will visit Barcelona in the second week of La Liga seeking to build on their opening win.

With Camp Nou under renovation, Barcelona will host this game at the Olimpic Lluis Companys Stadium in Catalunya. A 0-0 draw with Getafe wasn’t the best start to their title defence and Barcelona will hope to make things right here. The Catalans’ start didn’t reflect much about the end of their preseason, where they won three straight. Last season, they didn’t close out La Liga in the strongest fashion. In the final four matches, they suffered three defeats. In their opening game, two red cards were flashed. For Barcelona, Raphinha was sent off, and his absence will further deplete Barcelona’s squad here.
