Barcelona has six players on board who have already played against the opposing camp. These include Oier Olazabal, Martín Montoya, Marc Bartra, Sergi Roberto, Cristian Tello and Isaac Cuenca - who played for Barça B between 2010 and 2012 against Cartegena in the second division.
The match tonight will serve as the start for Barcelona's Copa del Rey campaign, but Cartagena have already eliminated three opponents to reach this stage of the competition. Their journey started with one goal victories over fellow third division sides CD Guadalajara and SD Huesca, and continued with a comfortable win over another Segunda B team, CD Tudelano.
Considering Barcelona's last two matches there probably couldn't have been a better time to face a team from the Segunda División B. No disrespect to Cartagena, but this is a team that lost both league games to an Eusebio led Barcelona B team by the score of 4-0 just two years ago.
Likely squads:
FC Barcelona (4-3-3): Oier Olazabal; Martin Montoya, Carles Puyol, Marc Bartra, Jordi Alba; Alex Song, Sergi Roberto, Cesc Fabregas; Adama Traore, Jean Marie Dongou, Pedro
FC Cartagena (4-3-3): Limones; Dani Ruiz, Carlos Moreno, Jaime Astraín, Zudo; Mariano Sánchez, Marcos Rodríguez, Antoñito; Antonio Megías, Fernando, Federico Ruiz
The Spain - Copa del Rey match is scheduled to be played between Barcelona and Cartagena on Friday, 6 December, 2013 at 21:00 GMT.
