Olot vs Barcelona

Venue:	Estadi Municipal d’Olot
Prediction:	Olot 2-3 Barcelona
Bookmaker:	1XBet

Olot played in the Tercera Division RFEF – Group 5 last season, which is the fifth tier of the Spanish league system, but they will be in the fourth tier for 2022-23 following their promotion.

Manix Madiola’s side had dropped into the fifth tier following their relegation in 2020-21, but they have managed to earn promotion back to the Segunda Division RFEF at the first time of asking.

The Catalan outfit have been extremely busy this summer in terms of incomings, with Ernest Forgas Gonzalo Pereira and Sebas Coris among those to arrive at the club on free transfers.

Meanwhile, Olot have also let five first-team players move on ahead of the new campaign, and there is expected to be more business undertaken before the transfer window closes.

The clash with Barcelona will give their players the perfect chance to test themselves at the highest level, and it will be fascinating to see how they perform against their famous opponents.

Barcelona ended last season without a trophy, suffering disappointment in the Copa del Rey, Champions League and Europa League, while they finished second in the La Liga table behind Real Madrid.

Xavi made a big impression as head coach following his arrival in November, though, and the club have big plans for this summer despite their financial problems, with deals for Bayern Munich’sRobert Lewandowski and Leeds United’s Raphinha believed to be advancing.

Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen have both arrived on free transfers, while Clement Lenglet and Dani Alves have moved on; Ousmane Dembele is also out of contract, so he will not be involved here as talks over a new deal continue, and Adama Traore and Luuk de Jong have returned to their parent clubs.

Barcelona will take on Inter Miami, Real Madrid, Juventus, New York Red Bulls and Pumas UNAM as part of their preparations for the new campaign.

The team’s 2022-23 La Liga season will start at home to Rayo Vallecano on August 13, while they will also take on Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid in the opening month of the new campaign.
