Barca Atletic vs Cordoba Betting Tips: AH1 (0)

Barca Atletic are just two matches away from making their return to the Segunda Division after a full five years, having emerged victorious in a dramatic two-legged clash against stubborn UD Ibiza 7-4 on aggregate.

Despite being two goals down, the relentless Blaugrana staged a whirlwind comeback by putting an astounding five goals in under 15 minutes to reach the showpiece final, all thanks to Unai Hernandez's incredible four-minute hat-trick.

It will mark the second promotion playoff final for Barca Atletic during their five-year stint in the third tier, having previously suffered a 1-2 defeat to CE Sabadell in the 2019-20 campaign, but this time around, they'll be hoping to finally realize their dream.

Enjoying the privilege of playing in front of their home crowd in the first-leg final, the Catalan juniors will feel they can seize an advantage, having built a strong home record, boasting eight triumphs from their last 11 fixtures at Estadi Johan Cruyff.

In stark contrast, Cordoba controlled the semi-final double-header tie brilliantly and prevented their rival from disrupting the flow, as they deservedly saw off Ponferradina 3-1 on aggregate to schedule a decisive two-legged clash with Barca B.

However, Córdoba's recent visits to Catalan soil do not offer positive omens as Barça B have handed them defeat in four of their previous five meetings, while they were well beaten in their last encounter at this venue, conceding four unanswered goals.

Despite facing a daunting task ahead, the Andalusian outfit shows no signs of fear, as they presented themselves brilliantly on their visits in the regular part of the season, finishing Primera RFEF - Group 2 with the best away record, thanks to 36 earned points from 19 trips. With Barcelona on the field, goals should be in abundance, yet we also anticipate Marquez's side to deliver another dominant attacking display to take the first-leg lead.
