Barcelona suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat from the hands of Deportivo La Coruna last weekend. This was particularly disappointing as it came just after the massive comeback win against PSG in the Champions League round of 16 tie.
The defeat at La Coruna put an end to Barca’s 19 match unbeaten run in the La Liga. They also missed out on the chance to keep a slender 1 point lead over arch rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table. The Catalans have fallen to second in the league table behind Madrid trailing by a point.
Meanwhile, Valencia struggled in their round of 27 clash against Sporting Gijon, despite coming out with the share of the spoils. It was a late strike from Munir El Haddadi, the on-loan striker from Barcelona, who put the scores level with 5 minutes left on the clock.
Valencia are sitting at 13th position in the league table, 11 points clear-off the relegation zone. Away from home, they haven’t won in the last four outings, drew 1 and lost 4.
Barcelona: Predicted Line-Up (4-3-3)
Ter Stegen – Alba, Mascherano, Pique, Roberto – Iniesta, Busquets, Gomes – Neymar, Suarez, Messi.
Valencia: Predicted Line-Up (4-3-3)
Alves – Montoya, Garay, Mangala, Gaya – Perez, Soler, Parejo – Cancelo, Orellana, Zaza.
Barcelona vs Valencia: Head to Head Statistics
Barcelona fought hard to 3-2 victory in the first leg of this tie. The catalan ended their 2 league games winless run at the Mestalla Stadium courtesy of Suarez leveller, and Lionel Messi late penalty.
However, in 10 league games between this 2 sides, Barcelona gathered 6 wins compared to Valencia 2. In addition, Valencia won in their last league visit to Camp Nou, and have won twice in 3 league visit to same stadium.
Barcelona vs Valencia: Predictions
Barcelona average 5.6 goals in their last 3 competitive games at home. The Catalan’s goal scoring form at home will be scaring statistics for any visiting side.
However, Valencia had often managed to put up a fierce fight in league clashes played at the Camp Nou. A fact that can be proved with their 2 win in 3 league visit to this stadium.
Therefore, expect a flurry of goals here, with Messi and company concealing the three points at the final whistle.
